*** North Cotswold Hunt kill fox just feet from sabs who are physically restrained and assaulted by terriermen to stop them helping ***

Facebook Video from Bristol Sabs

The hunt meet was attended by a Bristol sab and a 3C sab. They spent the morning drawing the coverts around Cutsdean before crossing over to Stanway Ash and then to Lidcombe wood. We managed to move them on from one fox by rating the hounds but they picked up on another and we believe fox may have escaped to ground. Hounds were then filmed hunting in Guiting quarry! Very dangerous cliffs and no regard to the safety of hounds or quarry workers.

Following this debacle huntsman and master Ollie Dale drew a field of brussel sprouts and it is there at Carey’s Covert that a terrified fox ran towards some of the terriermen and sabs. One terrierman appeared to head (turn back) the fox into the hounds, fox then tried to get over a wall but was ripped apart feet away from sabs who were then grabbed and cameras hit shut.

We were physically restrained from filming or stopping them and we were on a public footpath at the time. Some footage survived and will be posted…
