A typical morning with the Duke of Beaufort Hunt - it was fox central out there today, 5 foxes in total fleeing the hunt which we managed to cover.
All these babies live another day.
Full hit report to follow.

What A Holley Mess!
CPS Hand Terriermen a Not Guilty Verdict
On the 9th of June 2026, two members of the South Shropshire Hunt (now called the Shropshire Hunt), William Hand and Toby Holley, appeared at Telford Magistrates Court accused of interfering with a badger sett contrary to section 3 of the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. Dave Conde another terrierman for the hunt had already pleaded guilty to the same offence at the same sett.
Despite the covert footage very clearly showing Hand and Holley blocking the sett prior to a hunt day, and openly talking about bolting foxes and hounds marking to ground, the pair were handed a not guilty verdict due to blunders by the CPS.
They and convicted huntsman Daniel Cherriman are also seen on the footage taking great interest in an artificial fox earth not too far from the badger sett.
Terriermen are the underbelly of hunting and their presence is a clear indication that a hunt is operating illegally. Read the full article

Have you ever seen anything so pathetic? Bin Bag Betty cleaning up a wildlife crime—slaughtered fox remains in that bin bag. The biggest cover-up came from Wessex CPS, refusing to act, aided by a police officer who took our evidence. Read more 👉 open.substack.com/pub/wiltsh…

The Government has finally confirmed that the all badger culling will end including in the last cull licence area in Cumbria. After 13 years & the slaughter of 250,000 badgers at a public cost of £100 million this tragedy is finally over. We must now ensure it never starts again under a new Government in 2029. Well done to everyone who took to the fields marched in the streets and stood outside the Courts to end this this cruel costly madness

Does this look like trail hunting, or illegal fox hunting? 🦊
Is this behaviour civilised?
Do you think locals would be happy with this behaviour every week?

Make your own mind up. Cheshire Hunt 21st Feb. 30 mins prior to the meet, an individual associated with the hunt put his terrier through an artificial earth in an attempt to flush any foxes safe inside. Wonder why.🤔 #trailhuntlies 📹 CABS on FB #smokescreen @domdyer70 @_WBWP

Why should we have to put up with lost hounds trained to kill foxes running amok in the countryside and our properties. Time to ban hunt with dogs for good.
