A GOOD HARE ROUNDUP FROM THE HUNT SABOTEURS

 

View this email in your browser Hi,  Bad hare week for hunters From east to west, hunt sabs have stopped hare-hunting beagle and basset over the past week. Sour faces as the Stour Valley Beagles opening meet is sabbed! On Saturday 12th October, Suffolk & Essex Hunt Sabs hit the opening meet of the Stour Valley Beagles. They found them hunting through a beet field at Bedfield, Suffolk, but they soon made a hasty retreat back to the meet. A standoff took place, before the hunt left when more sabs arrived. On the same day on Dartmoor, Devon, the Stoke Hill & North Dartmoor Beagles were stopped by Plymouth & West Devon Hunt Sabs after a tip off from a member of the public reported seeing the pack chasing a hare. Hare chased by the Dorset & Somerset Bassets. The day after, Sunday 13th, the Dorset & Somerset Bassets were filmed hunting a hare at Bagber, Dorset. North Dorset Hunt Sabs were met with the usual excuses, that the hunt was legally rabbit hunting. They were sabbed once again on Wednesday 16th, this time hunting at Stalbridge Park, Dorset. Student beaglers, RAC Beagles, pack up on sight of hunt sabs. And this Saturday (19th October), a morning leveret hunting meet of the Royal Agricultural College Beagles (the student hunt of the Royal Agricultural Uni), was sabbed by Severn Vale Hunt Sabs in Tarlton, Gloucestershire. The sight of sabs in the area was enough to have the hunt making the ‘walk of shame’ back to their hound van to box up. A Hunt Saboteurs Association spokesperson said: “The days of the hare-hunting beagle and basset packs hiding behind the higher profile of their fox hunting cousins are over. Across the country, more and more of our groups are taking on these hunts. With the decline of the brown hare and routine law breaking from these packs, it’s high time that the new Government closes the loopholes in the Hunting Act that they hide behind. Until then, we’ll be in the fields stopping them.” Please support the groups involved: https://www.facebook.com/p/SES-Suffolk-And-Essex-Hunt-Sabs-100064906261375 https://www.facebook.com/p/Plymouth-West-Devon-Hunt-Sabs-100087081292820 https://www.facebook.com/NorthDorsetSabs https://www.facebook.com/@SevernValeSabs Get involved!
