Today - on the same day Cumbria Police have announced 5 more arrests (bringing the total to 12 so far) in Ambleside relating to the cruelty and criminality carried out by the Coniston Foxhounds, a fell-pack which was filmed by sabs on the 8th November using a drone camera, when they were caught digging out a fox from an earth before throwing the petrified animal to the mouths of waiting hounds, the fantasists at the British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) have come up with this absolute corker, according to them trail hunting is a … wait for it … “𝘭𝘢𝘸𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺” … they really have no shame, level 10 gaslighting of the nation right here.

We’re just over two weeks into the main hunting season, which runs from the end of October through to the end of March or early April. Hunts are now meeting later in the mornings – a small mercy for sleep-deprived sabs – but the days themselves stretch on longer. As the ratcatchers get packed away and the formal hunting jackets come out, we’ve taken a look back at what sabs across the country have witnessed so far this month.

A key representative from the British Hound Sports Association (BHSA), the organisation that supposedly regulates and advocates for legal hunting, was present on the day a poor fox was dug out of her refuge and thrown to hounds...

Last Wednesday, the HSA published harrowing drone footage - shot by heroic Lake District Hunt Sabs - of the Coniston Foxhounds digging out a fox and ripping her to pieces. At least seven people have been arrested as a result. Today we can reveal that a key representative from the British Hound Sport...

*Sab attacked by the Heythrop Hunt*

A member of Three Counties Hunt Saboteurs has been attacked by a member of staff from the Heythrop Hunt.

When will police take action to stop Sabs being attacked by out of control, criminal hunts.

Hoping the brave sab recovers very soon 🖤

****Sab' attacked by member of hunt staff near Harcomb wood as hounds riot on deer and hunt foxes****.

Heythrop Hunt,
Pebbly Brook Farm near Moreton in Marsh.
Tuesday 18th November 2025.

A very quick post. One of us is bruised and battered tonight after being kicked in the ribs by a thug on a horse. Thankyou to Gloucestershire Constabulary and the NHS minor injuries unit at Moreton in Marsh for assistance given today. The sab' is sore but ok. Earlier in the day another sab' was threatened by the same individual.

As the recently exposed fox-hunt; the Coniston Foxhounds video proves, once again - that trail hunting is, and has always been nothing but a ruse for illegal and barbaric fox hunting.

Implementing the HSA proposals contained in the link below, are the 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 way to ensure that the law is strengthened in a way that no longer enables loopholes which can be exploited by hunts to mask their cruel and unlawful hunting of wildlife.

Please ensure you use these proposals to inform your responses to the government consultation to ban hunting which will take place in the new year, and help end hunting for good. ⬇️

Last week we published the horrific drone footage recorded by Lake District Hunt Saboteurs, as they flew their drone over the Coniston Hunt, a BHSA registered “trail hunting” fell-pack.

What was captured in a single flight - hunt thugs putting a terrier into an earth to dig out a fox, which they then threw to waiting hounds - was so barbaric that it has horrified not just wildlife lovers, but anyone with a shred of empathy around the country and beyond.

We showed the drone recording to Chris Packham and this was his response.

Our full article on the video and link to the horrific footage can be viewed here. 👇🏽

Saturday 15th November – Beaufort Hunt

Meet: Ivy Leaze, Acton Turville

Despite deep flooding on the roads around the Badminton Estate after Friday’s torrential rain, the hunt still chose to meet and wade through floodwater to hunt foxes.

We met up with friends from Bristol Hunt Saboteurs , Cirencester Illegal Hunt Watch and Reading Reading Hunt Saboteurs, so despite the conditions we had eyes on the hunt for most of the day.

They headed north from the meet into Goulter’s Gorse and Alderton Grove before spending a lot of time in Cranhill Wood. Groups of sabs were strategically positioned by the wood, ready to guide any fleeing wildlife to safety. The hounds killed and half-ate a pheasant, showing the huntsman has no control over them and that no bird or animal is exempt from being pulled apart by a hungry pack.

The huntsman moved north and the hounds rioted on a hare (which thankfully escaped) before going into cry on the scent of a fox that fled into Allen Grove Farm. The fox then ran for it's life from there towards Luckington. The hounds followed at speed, sprawling through the garden of a house being built near the primary school. Sabs were positioned north and south of the property, with one team assaulted on the public footpath as they witnessed hunt staff throwing hounds over a wall.

It’s at times like this that our drone is invaluable for keeping an eye on what the huntsman and hounds are doing. In this case it captured hunt staff whipping and picking up hounds to remove them from the garden. Thankfully, the fox had found a relatively safe place in an outbuilding. Had sabs not been there recording the trespassing it's likely the hunt would have tried to flush the fox again.

After a morning of chaos, the hunt swapped to their second horses at 1:30pm and headed north to draw coverts near Luckington Court and then Sopworth Break. Another fox was flushed from Sopworth, but a team of sabs was perfectly positioned to stop the hounds in their tracks using voice calls and see the fox to safety.

After drawing coverts north of the Badminton Deer Park, the hunt finally packed up as it was getting dark at around 4:30pm.

As you can see from the photos, drones are vital for capturing scenes that are trickier to capture on the ground. We are fundraising for a thermal drone to help us get better footage through tree cover and as the nights draw in. Please donate if you are able, or share our fundraiser link:

Yesterday the Beaufort hunted a fox through private gardens, trespassing over freshly laid turf.

In their scrabble to get the dogs back, the drone found the second whipper-in Mitch prosser off his horse abusing hounds.

He threw some over a wall and whipped others. Here he is whipping one of them.
