HUNT SABOTEURS GIVE THE OCTOBER ROUNDUP OF CRIMINAL HUNTERS

View this email in your browser Hi, Supporter OCTOBER ROUND UP First conviction under Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Act 2023 October kicked off with Glasgow Hunt Sabs reporting that Claire Bellamy, ex-huntswoman and former Master of the Lauderdale Hunt, was found guilty under the Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Act 2023. Footage which was obtained by sabs shows hounds chasing a fox outside the area covered by a licence that had been granted by NatureScot, and was described by the judge as “gut wrenching.” This is the first ever conviction under the new Scottish legislation and you can learn more about the legislation in Scotland and what led to Claire’s conviction here. Claire Bellamy found guilty of deliberately hunting a fox with dogs in January 2025.

The last image visible on the drone was a known member of the hunt running towards it in a field. The incident has been reported to the police and thanks to the generosity of supporters Dorset Borders Sabs raised enough funds to replace the drone. What do you do when you receive a CPW? If you’re a fox hunt then you break it as soon as possible of course It didn’t take the Four Burrow Hunt long to break their Community Protection Warning (CPW) which had just been freshly issued by Devon and Cornwall Police. On the 10th of October the hunt was caught breaking condition 7 of the CPW, by failing to give police 24 hours’ notice of their meet. As they had failed to give the details of the meet this means they won’t have provided a map of their “trail” meaning they will have broken more conditions that just number 7. It remains to be seen what action the police will take. Read our recent article about CPW’s. Four Burrow Hunt were issued with a CPW after years of trespass and livestock worrying.

On the 12th of October the Quantock Staghounds hunted a stag towards the A39 between Nether Stowey and Holford. This is a stretch of road where the hunt are continually causing chaos and putting people’s lives in danger. This particular incident resulted in a hunted stag running across the road and colliding with a car. A witness described how the terrified stag “was flipped over the top of the car. Its leg kicked out smashing the rear nearside window. The Stag landed heavily on the verge.” Luckily the woman driving and her small child were not hurt but were badly shaken up. The cruelty doesn’t end there. Two weeks later North Dorset Hunt Sabs reported that the Quantock Staghounds had once again inflicted sickening suffering and pain on a stag. This particular large stag had a visibly infected wound on his side and it is also suspected he had a broken leg. These injuries unfortunately indicate that it is likely the stag that was hit by the car. Despite these injuries the hunt continued to torture him, subjecting him to a chase through thick gorse which no doubt would have caused him unbearable pain.

Gibbons is facing two counts of hunting a wild mammal under the Hunting Act, and Watts is facing one relating to the barbaric five-hour chase and ultimate killing of a stag on the 23rd of April 2026. Both have pleaded not guilty and the case has been adjourned until the 18th of January 2027 for a case management hearing; no trial date has been set. In the meantime, the Quantock Staghounds are continuing to commit abhorrent levels of animal cruelty whilst putting the safety of the general public at great risk. This stag was tortured for five hours and ultimately killed on the 23rd of April by the Quantock Staghounds.

Beds and Bucks Hunt Sabs along with Peterborough Hunt Sabs have been keeping the pressure on the Fitzwilliam Hunt, seeing no less than six foxes to safety on the 24th of October. Huntsman for the Fitzwilliam Hunt, Shaun Parish is due to stand trial in December for charges under Section 1 of the Hunting Act, relating to an incident back in November 2024. Whipper in Jacob Whalley has already pleaded guilty for the same incident. Fox number 1 of 6 escaping from the Fitzwilliam Hunt thanks to sabs. Credit: Beds & Bucks Hunt Sabs On the 31st of October North Dorset Hunt Sabs and Dorset Borders Hunt Sabs reported that the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale killed a fox at their opening meet at Purse Caundle. Footage obtained by sabs of the kill has been passed to the police and shows a fox breaking in front of hounds before they quickly descend and begin killing. The whipper in Ben Summersgill, runs in to retrieve the fox’s body and attempts to conceal it. The BSV are currently subject to a Community Protection Notice and in three years have racked up eighteen convictions; ranging from Actual Bodily Harm and theft to hunting offences. So once again we will wait and see what action the police take. Blackmore & Sparkford Vale whipper in tries to conceal the foxes body while sabs film from the sky.

Upon noticing the drone overhead hunt staff moved in to remove the body. However, as they have proven in the past, the Beaufort Hunt do not care about being caught illegally hunting and just over a week later they were caught chasing a brace, which were flushed towards the pack of hounds.

Northants Hunt Sabs drone caught riders surrounding a barn stacked with bales while hounds were at the side of the barn in narrow passageway. The drone then captured the huntsman swinging the dead body of a fox, encouraging hounds to repeatedly tug and pull at it. This continued on before the hunt realised the entire thing was being recorded from up above. They then tried to hide the fox’s body and conceal their identities before leaving the area. The footage of this kill lays bare the horror of hunting. Credit: Northants Hunt Sabs The release of this footage coincided with the British Hound Sports Association “trail” hunting day, whereby they attempted to promote the non-existent sport of following a pre laid trail. As this footage demonstrates, “trail” hunting is a smokescreen, but the loopholes in the law are allowing hunts to continue, so the HSA has asked its supporters to contact their MP, making them aware of this footage and asking them to push for a full ban on hunting with hounds. Following on from the “trail” hunting day, a member of West Midlands Hunt Sabs was interviewed by the BBC. Speaking to a reporter they said “Hunting hasn’t stopped. Our role is to document it, expose it, show that it’s still happening…There are too many loopholes that the hunts exploit. They get around it by saying “we’re following a trail, it was just an accident that a fox came out.” A fox recently hunted by the Warwickshire Hunt Credit: West Midlands Hunt Sabs All of the cases reported on in this article have been taken from HSA affiliated groups who are working tirelessly to stop blood sports.

FROM PROTECT THE WILD ON INDUSTRIAL SLAUGHTER OF GAME BIRDS BRED TO BE KILLED

Forwarded this email? Subscribe here for more 22,000 birds gassed alive: you weren’t meant to see this PROTECT THE WILD NOV 2 READ IN APP For the first time ever in the UK, footage of a game bird flu cull has been made public. What it shows is shocking. Earlier this year, anonymous activists handed us footage of a cull of around 22,000 breeding game birds at Westfield Game Farm near Pickering, North Yorkshire. It was the farm’s second bird flu cull in two years. Why this is such a big deal This is monumental because game bird culls often happen behind closed doors. Until now, the public has never seen how they are carried out. This footage changes that. It shows the whole process, from catching to gassing to disposal. And it raises three serious concerns: the suffering of thousands of animals, biosecurity failures that put wild birds at risk, and the cost to you, the taxpayer. Become a Game Changer Why did it happen? From December 2025 to April 2026, an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) was in force. Every farmed bird had to be housed, or at least netted, to keep it away from wild birds. The pens at Westfield appeared to lack netting. These rules exist to stop exactly this kind of outbreak. But rules mean nothing if nobody enforces them. 22,000 lives, gassed and dumped These birds were bred for one thing: to be shot for sport, but they never even got that far. In the footage panicked birds were chased and thrown, packed into crates and driven into gas chambers. They were gassed with argon, and their bodies were tipped into lorry sized skips like rubbish. Every one of them a life. Every one of them wasted and thrown away by the thousand. Biosecurity concerns Most worryingly, a cull is meant to contain a disease. Yet with the pens apparently unnetted, birds were filmed flying away mid-catch. Even vets and workers were recorded admitting they could not tell how many had escaped. Any one of those birds could have carried avian influenza into the wild. The footage also captured workers repeatedly breaking personal protective equipment (PPE) rules. Some unzipped their suits inside the infected zone. Others wore no protection at all. Every breach is another route for avian influenza to spread. Become a Game Changer Who pays? You do. What could be worse? well, we pay for it… When a game farm’s flock is culled for bird flu, the taxpayer compensates the farmer. Using APHA’s own rate, we estimate the payout at around £620,000. That is for a farm that had been through exactly the same thing just 11 months earlier. We asked APHA, through a Freedom of Information request, what this cull cost. Sadly they refused to tell us and an independent review backed that refusal. So we still do not know how many birds escaped, what was done to make the cull effective (or if it was), or what the public paid for a cull that following the housing rules might have prevented. So, to sum it up: the public pays, but the public is not allowed to know what for or how much! A pattern, not a one-off This is a farm with history. In 2011, its owner and his company were each fined £20,000 for releasing thousands of pheasants onto a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), damaging a protected conservation site. In 2014, the RSPB found five illegal pole traps set around the farm. Two employees were cautioned. The owner was convicted of permitting their use, though that conviction was overturned on appeal. Now, two bird flu culls in two years. And once again, the rules appear to have been bent. Given that record, none of this comes as a surprise. More to come This is just the overview. Over the coming weeks, we will dig into every angle of this story: the animal suffering, the money the taxpayer pays, and the biosecurity failures that appear to have been frequent on this farm. We want this to be a game changer. In every sense. To drag what happens on these farms into the light, and to stop it ever happening again. These birds deserved better. Join the movement. Become a Game Changer. This is exactly what your monthly donations are helping make possible. Undercover investigators gathering evidence. Hundreds of hours of footage being reviewed. Investigations developed into stories that reach millions of people through national television. More investigations. More national exposure. More pressure on the shooting industry.

Every pound donated from this email will go straight towards our work in Scotland as we endeavour to be a loud, unapologetic force for animals. We’ve got huge aspirations. The victory in stopping the longest surviving seabird hunt in the country has shown what is possible when we have dedicated people working obsessively to bring about an end goal. And we want to do the same on so many issues impacting Scottish wildlife. Whether that’s challenging the horrendous salmon farming industry, dealing with the flawed ban on hunting or tackling the Scottish shooting industry head on. We will never compromise or sit on the fence. Over the next 12 months we will prove to you that we deserve your support and we will fight for wildlife across all fronts, from all angles, until we topple industries and cruel pastimes one by one.

Its plumage is brown and cream with spotted markings, and white rocks and a blurred pale ground surround it A big thank you to David E. Fitzgibbons for sharing this wonderful photo of an Aruban burrowing owl. In David’s words “Endemic to the island of Aruba, the Aruban Burrowing Owl, is beloved by the islanders and nicknamed the ‘Shoco’.” The Shoco appears on the 50 Florin banknote, as well as several national stamps. David adds “In 2013 the population was estimated at 200 breeding pairs. The decline of the Shoco is due to the development on the island, nest destruction, and predation by the boa constrictor,” a non-native species. “While exploring the island I found myself in an abandoned construction site watching some Black Bellied Whistling Ducks frolic in a large puddle. It was then I saw the Shoco leave his ground nest and alight to some rocks.” For your chance to be featured, send us your best shots and a short paragraph about it to: howtohelp@birdlife.org.

THE QUORN HUNT TRAINING TO KILL

View this email in your browser Hi, Supporter QUORN HUNT TRAINING HOUNDS TO KILL: WRITE TO YOUR MP The Hunt Saboteurs Association is asking our supporters to contact their MPs following the release of horrific drone footage involving the Quorn Hunt in Leicestershire. Members of the Quorn Hunt use the fox’s body to encourage hounds to tear it apart. Image: Northants Hunt Saboteurs On Friday 16 October 2026, Northants Hunt Saboteurs filmed an incident near Kirby Bellars in which a fox was killed by hounds during a Quorn Hunt cubbing meet. Hounds converge on the fox as hunt staff look on. Image: Northants Hunt Saboteurs The footage shows hounds seizing and tearing at the fox while hunt staff intervene to repeatedly encourage the hounds to attack. A hunting horn can be seen being blown over the hounds to reinforce the association between the horn call and the kill! Take action: Contact your MP Don’t let this disturbing footage go unnoticed. Write to your MP, ask them to watch the video and to support robust legislation to strengthen the Hunting Act. Template letter below: Organised Hunts hunting as usual – Famous Quorn Hunt filmed killing a fox Dear [MP] The 1st November will see the official start of the foxhunting season, but hunts have been out since August training their hounds to hunt and kill. This is called autumn hunting by them and cub hunting by the rest of us. This is illustrated by the film we obtained taken from a drone showing the Quorn Hunt killing a fox. This is ‘trail hunting’ in its bloody reality, and it happened just a few days ago, on the eve of the BHSA’s National Trail Hunting Day. The full video can be viewed here: https://www.huntsabs.org.uk/smokescreen-saturday-exposed/ Cub hunting is not some isolated activity. It is the preparation for the hunting season ahead. Throughout the autumn, young hounds are taught what to chase, what to kill and how to respond to the huntsman’s commands. What they learn – or fail to learn – during these crucial weeks sets the tone for the entire season. This is what makes the Quorn Hunt footage so damning. It shows hounds being deliberately encouraged to seize and tear at a fox, with hunt staff repeatedly intervening to reinforce that behaviour. As the British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) and the Countryside Alliance prepared to showcase so-called 'trail hunting' on National Trail Hunting Day - aka Smokescreen Saturday - the Quorn Hunt provided a horrifying glimpse of the reality behind the myth of trail laying. The BHSA and defenders of so-called trail hunting want the public to believe the same hounds will spend the season following scent trails. Yet here they are, being trained on foxes, and of course, killing to the delight of the hunters. The footage strikes at the very heart of the trail hunting smokescreen. We need parliament to finish the consultation and push through a real hunting ban in the next parliament term as promised in the manifesto.
