''Wiltshire Police arrested three men on 10 February following publication of footage appearing to show an illegal dig out. In a statement shared by Evelyn, the police said it had arrested a 29-year-old man from Lacock, a 38-year-old man from Bromham, and a 35-year-old man from Devizes. All three face charges of illegal hunting, causing unnecessary harm to an animal, and interfering with a badger sett.''

 
Fox hunting in the UK- From the Locals Against the Fernie Hunt:

"There are around 200 foxhound packs in the United Kingdom, which are recognised by the Masters of Foxhounds Association.
It is safe to assume that the majority of these hunts continue with ‘traditional fox hunting’.
Tomorrow is Saturday. A prime day on the fox hunting meet card.
Even if only 150 of these packs were out tomorrow, and only half of them made a successful kill, 75 foxes face certain death tomorrow. Chances are, it will be more.
This happens at least twice a week, every week, during the season. Our rough calculation makes that 150 foxes a week. 600 foxes a month.
Our thoughts, as always, are with the foxes and their guardians. Stay safe.''

An innocent vixen was murdered by huntsmen in Devon yesterday. Moreover, this vile crime was committed
in front of sabs. The public should be made aware of what's going on in the English countryside. The police
seem to be oblivious and are not enforcing the legislation.

RIP Proteo.

Proteo flew from Mexico to help rescue Turkish earthquake victims and worked tirelessly for days. Tragically he lost his life today after being trapped under a falling building.

"Cottesmore Huntsman Sam Jones has been arrested this morning after he rode down a member of Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs with his horse last Saturday.
At last Leicestershire police are taking the Criminal Cottesmore seriously. We have said it before and we will say it again...We believe the Cottesmore are the most violent fox hunt in the country and have shown themselves to be just that once again.
The hunting world is under serious pressure with the public eye watching their every move and with that being said we will continue to expose the Cottesmore Hunt alongside our partners Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs until they close their kennels for good!"
 
Kills during fox hunts are never ending. Another vixen has been murdered by a local group in Yorkshire:

The Bedale Hunt


15th February 2023

''This afternoon this beautiful young Vixen was illegally hunted and killed by the Bedale Hunt on the banks on the river Swale, Great Langton.
EYCHS sabs managed to grab the still warm body out the hounds mouths in the edge of the river. Huntsmen, hounds, terriermen and hunt support quickly left the scene.
The police attended, evidence was collected …Full hit report to follow.''

Lincolnshire UK


''Still no response from @Lincspolice Rural Crime Team to the original Witness or ourselves regarding their assertions that the wood pigeons are being shot legally even though there are no crops in the woods or the surrounding fields.
Further investigation by a local Rescue has revealed that it would seem that since the complaint was made a nearby field has been ploughed (no planting of seed) as a possible excuse to allow the shooting. However, damage has to be proven before birds can be shot willy nilly. It is not an excuse to shoot them to say 'Well your honour we thought they may destroy our crops"!
we also believe that the wood pigeons that are shot are used for meat because of certain posts on social media that emerged last year in the #Lincoln area.
Meanwhile, they will be shot today and until February 25th.
btw if you do not comment etc no one can tell there is any support of this post so please interact and Share."

 
This is what is happening in the UK. Hounds enter a private garden and kill a fox.

'The terrified fox seeks refuge in a fenced patio area but the hounds chase it there, corner it and kill it. The West Norfolk Hunt terrier man then scales a six foot high fence, furtively removes the fox’s body and escapes through a gate, making no effort to remove the pack of hounds from the private property.'

"This little scruffmuffin baby pigeon is Devonshire
💗
🕊
collected yesterday from Devonshire Road junior school (Mel's former junior school before it burnt down) where he had come out of his nest too early and had fallen into the playground. He was absolutely caked in poo, fluffed up, bad tummy, weak and had a keel bone so thin it was as sharp as a knife. Warmed up first, bathtime next and then tube fed with hand rearing formula and bedtime with a teddy and gentle heatpad. Today, he is the biggest squeakbox - full of beans, tummy improving and looking like a different baby pidge
