Three Counties Sabs are out night and day at the moment attending cubbing meets and out protecting badgers from culling. Dealing with various tip-offs and anonymous calls with hunt and cull information. This morning we had a call saying the Ledbury Hunt were in Forthampton and, soon after, another call with information of a badger shooter prebaiting. A 3C sab rode his bike out to Forthampton to monitor the rest of the meet whilst others went in pursuit of the badger shooter. The sab watched the hunt draw various copses and witnessed hunt riders holding up (making noise to keep the foxes in).

When the hunt packed up huntsman Mark Meladay got all excited about the sabs bike and its registration plate as did the terrierman on his quad (which had no registration plate). There was a sign the hunt may have killed as there was blood on the quadbike box (see photo). The blood could belong to a hound, horse or person but also might belong to a fox that the terrierman could have put in the box to take away after being killed. When the sab told the terrierman there was blood on his box he replied ‘yeah mate’ smuggly. We will be reporting the quad with no number plate on the road and the blood on the quad to the police.
