WHEN WILL THEY BAN TRAIL HUNTING AND DEFINE IT AS BARBARIC

Another day Another trail. 

These aren’t a few ‘bad apples.’ Hunting is rotten to its core, and hunting bodies such as the BHSA will never effectively police themselves when at their core they want to repeal the Hunting Act.

As previously reported the BHSA is a superficial rebrand of the Hunting Office, the totally discredited organisation made infamous by leaked webinars that advised hunts on how to use ‘trail hunting’ as a smokescreen for illegal hunting, and indeed a number of BHSA board members have their own patchy history regarding hunting and animal welfare.

While we can’t be certain of what comes next for the Avon Vale Hunt, we can be sure that hunt saboteurs and the wider public will not let the hunt, or the individuals involved, get away with this.

Wiltshire Hunt Commented: After yesterdays expose on the cruel and barbaric criminal behaviour of this particularly vile hunt, we are not surprised to see their new hunting body double down to scapegoat the Avon Vale hunt staff for what is a regular practice amongst all “trail” hunts. Particularly horrific in this case is the knowledge that one of those foxes would have been a pregnant vixen.

Unfortunately, despicable acts such as those seen in yesterday’s video will continue on hunts until loopholes of the Hunting Act are strengthened, terrier work on hunts is banned and there’s proper enforcement of the law.
