Read about the recent horror as a fleeing hunted stag collides with a car 👉

Yesterday this fox was one of SIX hunted by the Fitzwilliam Hunt. With the hunting community desperately clutching at straws trying to deny the fact that for over 20 years they've been using "trail" hunting as a smokescreen, hunts such as the Fitzwilliam are doing everything in their power to prove their own side wrong. A recent news report quoted Worcestershire Hunt Master Adrian Ward as saying "We're in the open countryside...but we do put everything in place that we can." We wonder what he would say about six foxes being hunted during one cub hunting meet? Hunts and their 'governing bodies' are not working together, they are a contradiction in terms, and still after twenty plus years cannot get their stories straight which only further exposes their lies.

Today, once again, British wildlife will face unspeakable cruelty as hunts will be heading out across the countryside. Animals will be disturbed from their peace, flushed from their homes and chased to exhaustion - and for many, it will end in a brutal end, as their bodies will be torn apart from the inside out. And once again it will be sabs that will be doing their best to stop them. In the skies and the fields, sabs will be with the hunts everywhere they go, putting themselves between the hunted and the scum. Please support us to support them - for just £20 a year you can help end this. Read more here 👉🏻

Yesterday, two Quantock Staghound hunters were up in court over the killing of this stag, with one of them facing a further charge. This happened in Rachel Gilmour MP’s constituency of Tiverton & Minehead. Gilmour recently wrote in defence of trail hunting in Hounds magazine, describing it as “forming part of a long and richly woven rural social fabric that binds farms, villages and families together through shared work, ritual, and memories” What a load of romanticised guff. 🙄💩 Dressing up the sort of barbarism witnessed here, and more recently at the Quorn Hunt on Friday, in flowery language about rural traditions doesn’t make it less barbaric. This is cruelty, not culture and she should be ashamed. Rural communities overwhelmingly reject this barbarism in line with the rest of the country. Join AAS Action Against Staghunting on Saturday for a peaceful march: 11am, Saturday 24 October, Tiverton bus station. Phoenix Lane, Tiverton EX16 6LU.

🚨 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚. 𝗡𝗢 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡? Dangerous behaviour on public roads, intimidation and antisocial behaviour, illegal hunting, violence and thuggery. How much more will hunts be allowed to get away with? Police have recently issued several Community Protection Warnings to hunts - but they're failing to escalate to notices, or caving in to pressure when they do. Are they also issuing warnings to hunts, where they should have pursued criminal charges instead? 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. Who will be policing these warnings? Will police be getting their boots dirty or are they relying on sabs to do their work for them? Read our full report👉 📷 West Midlands Hunt Saboteurs

🚨𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗢𝗖𝗞 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗟🚨 Quantock Staghounds hunt master Chris Gibbons (top in the image below) and huntsman Martin Watts (bottom) appeared at Taunton Magistrates' Court today (22nd October), charged with offences under the Hunting Act 2004. Both men pleaded 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗧𝗬 to charges of hunting a wild mammal with dogs. Both men face charges relating to an incident on 16th March 2026, during which a stag was killed after being hunted for five hours. Unable to escape past a fence, the exhausted animal was shot, despite a hunt saboteur from @mendiphuntsabs pleading for his life to be spared. Huntsman Martin Watts also faces an additional charge relating to 23rd April, when a stag was pursued through a quarry. The case will now proceed through the courts, a case management hearing has been scheduled for 18th January 2027. A trial date has not yet been set. 🔗More in comments below. 🔽

🚨𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗥𝗡 𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗧: 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗦? ✅ Sponsorship withdrawn ✅ Police investigation ✅ Press coverage And where is hunting's supposed governing body? ❌ The British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) rose from the ashes of the disgraced Hunting Office following the leaked webinars that exposed how trail hunting as nothing more than a smokescreen for traditional fox hunting. New name, same faces. Its chairman, Viscount Astor, was at the centre of a plot to hoodwink ministers leaked to The Times earlier this year that could have allowed ministers to avoid a legislative ban. Then there is Julian Barnfield, the BHSA's executive director, a former Heythrop huntsman who pleaded guilty to FOUR counts of illegal hunting in 2012. Now, with the horrific Quorn footage online and under police investigation following horrific drone footage filmed by @NhantsHuntsabs the silence from the BHSA is deafening. A convicted fox hunter at the top of the BHSA. You couldn't make it up. Hunts cannot be trusted to police themselves.

They proceeded to hunt multiple stags and one eyewitness report from the day details an extremely concerning and disturbing incident. What was described as a "gigantic stag" ran across the A39 in an attempt to escape the hunt. The 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.” Thankfully the driver and her young child were unharmed but were extremely shaken up. The hunt's response to this was to flee the scene as police were called. The eyewitness, despite looking for the stag, couldn't see him. The extent of his injuries and his fate are unknown. Despite criminal charges being brought against hunt master Chris Gibbons and huntsman Martin Watts for the killing of a stag on the 16th of March 2026 and a further charge for Watts relating to hunting in working quarry, this has been no deterrent for their escalating behaviour.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗥𝗡 𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗧: 𝗖𝗨𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗗 On the eve of Saturday’s “National Trail Hunting Day” organised by the British Hound Sports Association, the Quorn Hunt gave a more realistic version of what hunts get up to.

The footage blows apart any remaining claims that hounds are trained to follow pre-laid scent trails. Watch this space.

Liberal Democrats MP for Tiverton & Minehead, Rachel Gilmour, has come out in defence of "trail" hunting. Her fairytale adaptation of what really happens is quite frankly laughable. Rachel has been quoted as saying “Trail hunting, far from being merely a weekend activity, forms part of a long and richly woven rural social fabric that binds farms, villages and families together through shared work, ritual, and memories." Her defence of this 20+ year law breaking reads like a Disney adaptation of what is actually a grim and violent world. Rachel's comments come after Tiverton Town Council declared in November 2025 that the Tiverton Foxhounds are "not welcome in Tiverton on Boxing Day, or any other day”. As well as the Tiverton Foxhounds, the Quantock Staghounds meet within Rachel's constituency. A hunt that does not profess to "trail" hunt, instead they use loopholes within the current Hunting Act to continue to terrorise not only wildlife in the area but Rachel's constituents and visitors to the area. In opposition to stag hunting and to raise awareness of its barbarity, AAS Action Against Staghunting are holding a peaceful march in Tiverton on Saturday the 24th of October, where they will gather beside the bus station in Phoenix Lane, Tiverton.

This week we will be releasing the full sickening footage captured on drone camera by Northants Hunt Saboteurs on the eve of Saturday’s “National Trail Hunting Day” at one of the oldest and most prestigious hunts in the county, the Quorn Hunt. The footage will leave viewers in absolutely no doubt of the intent behind the footage - training young hounds to hunt, kill and tear up foxes that goes on behind the trail hunting smokescreen. It will put to death any argument that they are trained to follow trails. It will destroy any argument that hounds are not trained to kill foxes. It smashes the idea that foxhounds are “just acting on instincts” when they kill foxes. All this at the top end of the hunting hierarchy. The footage is devastating. Let it end the Quorn Hunt and “trail hunting” for good. Stay tuned to our news and socials.

🚨 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗻𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? Our latest article examines how hunts continue to carry out illegal hunting, trespass and antisocial behaviour despite receiving Community Protection Warnings and Notices. From repeated warnings to withdrawn notices and secret agreements, we ask whether these measures are delivering meaningful action or simply allowing the problem to continue. Hunt sabs are still on the ground gathering evidence, but who is actually enforcing the rules? Read the full article to find out why warnings alone are not enough to protect wildlife 👇
