So why do @HuntSabs and monitors put themselves in harm’s way to challenge illegal hunting? Because it’s the right thing to do…and for moments like this, when a hunted fox makes its escape thanks to our action. #wildlifeheros

Tell us again @dorsetpolice why the public have to be endangered by hunts like the Portman hunting foxes over roads. The whipper-in eventually puts hounds through a hedge before others in the distance locate the fox and he encourages them on. Hounds ended up on the A30.

This afternoon for 40 minutes, the Portman Hunt allowed hounds to run amok through @WoodlandTrust owned Duncliffe Woods in Dorset. When challenged this hunt employee, Jamie W, rode down a hunt monitor. @WoodlandTrust why should this be allowed to happen on your land?

Not sure yet if the hunt scum will be out cub hunting tomorrow or not but prepping anyhow. I reckon it’ll be 40 years I’ve been doing this routine. It’s 17 years now since fox hunting was banned and they’re still doing it…sums up what a corrupt country we live in. @ChrisGPackham

This was the stag I posted about earlier. It was hunted for hours and hours to the point of such exhaustion that it could no longer move. The people who carry out such cruelty are beyond understanding.

Chased for hours and killed today by the Devon and Somerset Staghounds. Shortly before he'd crashed into a fence in exhaustion and terror. He ran up and down the river trapped by hunt support and too tired to climb the steep valley sides. So sorry we couldn't stop them shooting

10 minutes after leaving the meet BSV hounds are already chasing a fox. HOWEVER - with police already outside the meet and sabs descending, the hunt are forced to call their own hounds off! Yes it occasionally does happen, the best sab of all when they have to do it themselves!

Out covertly watching the BSV hunt this morning. Filmed this kill at a huge distance hence the poor quality but shows hounds breaking up a fox and huntsman "ragging" the body. Second supporter in white shirt to the left of screen appears to be stripping the fox's tail. #huntscum

Yesterday in Dorset @Weymouthanimalr filmed the South Dorset Hunt savaging a deer to death, @NDHuntSabs filmed the Cattistock chasing a fox, while two members of the public witness the BSV Hunt kill a fox in a hedge and @dorsetpolice PCC @Sidwick4Dorset denies this stuff happens.

Well that’s a wrap for the 2022/2023 hunting season. Been out with some awesome sab groups all day with the D&S Staghounds but couldn’t stop the bastards killing a stag. Been a long season from Aug 2022 to 29 April 2023. Awful memories shared with great friends inc. @NDHuntSabs

15 years after the Hunting Act banned fox hunting, I spent yesterday filming the Portman Hunt fox hunting. Another fox hunted to exhaustion and ripped to pieces as the hunt staff scrabble around collecting body parts - please share this @ChrisGPackham

@chrisloder @chrisloder doesn’t like sea eagles being protected because they “plague farmers” and yet supports hunts in his own constituency who build and utilise artificial fox earths to encourage foxes to thrive so they can be illegally hunted by his mates at the Cattistock Hunt.

Another example of how @dorsetpolice regard wildlife crime solely in terms of its impact on farmers and landowners. No mention of crimes such as fox hunting, badger sett damage and raptor poisonings, that are carried out with the consent of farmers and landowners. @Ecolelogical

Yesterday’s brutal attack on two female sabs by a Portman Hunt supporter with a wooden staff makes it #ComplaintNo10 to @dorsetpolice this season. @Sidwick4Dorset promises that he’s tackling #ruralcrime but where’s the proof that hunt related crime is being taken seriously.

Dorset Police PCC @Sidwick4Dorset tweeted last night that trail hunting is a legal pastime. The BSV claim to be a trail hunt - judge for yourselves. By downgrading policing of hunts @dorsetpolice have effectively decriminalised fox hunting in the county. @WildlifeBlog @HuntSabs

@nightnoodle I suspect anyone who’s been a sab or monitor will be able to recall moments when they’ve been driven at or ridden at by irate hunt supporters. Frankly we tolerate too much of this sort of stuff and just accept it because we all know the police won’t take action. That is wrong

Just remember that if a member of the public observes a fox being pursued or hunt support screaming and shouting to stop it escaping a pack of hounds, like in this film, then @dorsetpolice WILL NOT ATTEND. Because @Sidwick4Dorset has told them that the BSV are acting lawfully.

Great work by a single sab from @NDHuntSabs disrupting illegal hunting by the BSV hunt. It shouldn’t be left to individuals to uphold the law while @dorsetpolice and the PCC @Sidwick4Dorset turn a blind eye and pretend this is a “lawful pastime”.

That difficult moment when your “trail layer” sends hounds through a 8 foot high fence that’s bolted together. @NDHuntSabs @NorthDorsetPol

This image portrays the cosy relationship the Portman Hunt have with @dorsetpolice . A violent masked female steward who has repeatedly harassed female @NDHuntSabs strolls around while plod have a nice chat with a guy who’s just scared a fox back into hounds. @HuntSabs

Out with the Portman this morning. Another season begins just as the last one finished...chasing foxes and terrier man ready to dig out if needed. Thanks to @NDHuntSabs for being there... and to the locals who tipped us off.

Video of the BSV bolting a fox to be killed in front of riders and children on Tuesday. Sick parents couldn't wait to give their kids a view of the kill. Thanks to @NDHuntSabs and @Weymouthanimalr for their courage challenging the thugs. @HuntSabs @Keeptheban @domdyer70

Unimaginably irresponsible for this lot to be out today. Half the roads in Dorset are covered in sheet ice and numerous accidents have been reported. Yet drivers on rural roads may well turn a corner and find hounds and horses all across the road. Photo from @NDHuntSabs

Not only @nationaltrust land but also a protected @HistoricEngland scheduled monument. Could @HistoricEngland please clarify whether hunt quad bikes should be driven across a scheduled monument? @mendiphuntsabs @HuntSabs

@nationaltrust Can you please advise if you allowed this hunt on your land? I am a paying member and will not countenance going for a walk on NT land and being confronted by these thugs.
