Dulverton West 03.10.26
We took a trip to the edge of Exmoor to pay a visit to the Dulverton West at Porte Cottage, between Patchole and Blackmoor Gate. They were gathering in the farmyard for a morning of cub-hunting when they spotted sabs waiting on the road. ๐ฆ๐งต01/05

Having failed to manifest their desired police protection, the hunt decided theyโd rather not risk hunting in front of sabs. Hounds remained in the van, quad bikes were loaded back onto their trailers and everyone left for home. 04/05
Hunts will be having their opening meets over the next couple of weeks, so if you hear anything, please pass it on.

The last time we called her out, rather than dispute it she blocked us... how sad.

"Do you want to get shot?" The Devon and Somerset Staghounds dangerously shot this exhausted stag yesterday with a sab right below them. They chased him for hours and he was reduced to just walking when hounds "bayed him" above the River Barle when he could go no further

Not only are both Phil Spencer and his Co-host Kirstie Allsopp insufferable, they both love fox hunting.
Allsopp is a frequent host of the East Devon Hunt at her husband's estate 'The Grange' in Broadhembury, Honiton.

Spire Nottingham Hospital has confirmed that it has withdrawn its sponsorship of the Quorn Hunt's Ingarsby Chase following serious allegations arising from drone footage filmed by @NhantsHuntsabs.
In an email sent today, 20 October, the hospital stated:
"๐๐ป ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ค๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป ๐๐๐ป๐, ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ต๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ป ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ."
This follows our exposรฉ this morning showing Quorn Hunt staff repeatedly encouraging hounds to seize and tear at a fox, before pushing the body underneath hay bales after one of the terriermen spotted the drone.

The Quorn Hunt's history includes a 2022 conviction for illegal hunting involving one of its huntsmen. That information was already in the public domain and could have found out with a quick Google search.

This year is the 3rd year running where the East Devon have been asked/told to host a 'Trail Hunt' demonstration in Devon.
If you're trying to represent hunting as a whole wouldn't you want more examples to show that all hunts are capable of 'Trail Hunting'?

On the eve of hunting's National Trail Hunting Day, @NhantsHuntsabs captured shocking drone footage of the Quorn Hunt at Kirby Bellars, Leicestershire.
The footage shows hunt staff repeatedly encouraging hounds to seize and tear at the fox, engaging in a grotesque tug-of-war with the animal's body, before attempting to conceal it when they realise they're being filmed.

Hunting apologists claim that trail hunting involves following a pre-laid scent trail. Yet here are hounds being deliberately encouraged to seize and tear at a fox.

Having failed to sustain the pretence of trail hunting for even an hour, Harry called it quits at this point.
