It beggars belief that they have the audacity to use the words “wildlife in mind” then host an illegal fox hunt that harbours criminals and endorses criminal activity …. organised crime ! Here is a link so you can see for yourself!

We arrived slightly late today because we had to make a repair to our Landy before we left and the bills for our Landy seem to be coming thick and fast at the moment. We found the hunt not long after they had left the meet on a bridleway that runs from Toomer Farm to Copse House. There were about riders out today.
There were lots of supporters out in their vehicles today and they were unnecessarily abusive from the start. Parked up by Copse Farm one particularly annoying and rather over excited sub female was spouting a load of nonsense and filming us – even whilst our driver was trying to clean the back landy windows ! Insistent that we are criminals when all we were trying to do was monitor the hounds and fleeing hares ! We advised her to take a look at our page for the evidence she desired and we hope that she educates herself with our videos and other documentary evidence.
The huntsman brought the hounds over to Caundle Brake and cast them through there. One hound popped out onto the road and almost got hit by a car. Not being able to find their non existent trail in Caundle Brake, Mark “Lugz” Doggrell gathered his hounds and headed East where the hounds were cast through the disused quarry whilst the support vehicles blocked the public highway.
Next on the huntsman’s agenda was Park Wood and a foot team went in on a footpath at Dairy House. This foot team walked towards Old Barn, there was a lot of horseboxes parked here which was probably an overflow of those that couldn’t park at the actual meet.
The foot team followed the footpath around the south of Park Wood and positioned themselves on the footpath adjacent to a small copse between Stalbridge Park and Park Wood. From this point the huntsman could be seen casting the hounds along the hedgerows along Park Wood. This monitoring deeply enraged several of the Hunt supporters that were gathered on a tarmac track which for part is also a footpath. The foot team of three were approached by four males, one of whom wrongly accused them of not being on a public footpath. All our foot sabs carry a current, digital, GPS OS map – they knew exactly where they were !! One of the male hunt supporters focused his attention onto a female who repeatedly insisted she should take a single step backwards to meet his petty, unjustifiable demands. The female Sab, still on the footpath was focused on filming the hounds in the distance as it was once again clear there was no trail laid today. The male supporter then repeatedly pushed, shoved and forcefully barged the female every time she moved to get a better view of the hounds. He continued with this violent and aggressive behaviour each time she tried to take a single step forwards. During this time three other male supporters joined in the barrage of unruly behaviour. These four individuals then followed the foot team threatening and trying to intimidate them for the next fifteen minutes. During this abusive incident there were many other hunt supporters witnessing what was happening who did nothing. The hounds went into cry briefly in the south eastern corner of Park Wood taking them in the direction of Dairy House. This line was lost and they headed south to Sturt Coppice. The police were called and we were told they would attend.
The hounds were cast through Sturt Coppice and Holtham Plantation and the line of a fox was picked up taking them south. The hounds popped out on Waterloo Lane by Waterloo Farm and there was no huntsman observed although the whip cantered down the road beside them towards the A3030.
A foot team went in on footpath leading south east from Warr Bridge where the huntsman was observed drawing the hedgerows. This fox was lost probably because he swam across Caundle Brook. It was a good job for the hunt that this fox escaped because by now the police had arrived and were reviewing footage of the earlier incident. You would have thought that a hunt as blatant as the BSV would avoid a police presence at all costs but then they get the thugs out, attracting police attention.
From here the hunt headed North and went to try their luck in New Lease Wood with a foot team hot on their tails. As the foot team walked through the gate Zelda ( still sucking on a lemon ) tried to shut the gate on the sabs. One sab held the gate whilst the other sabs got through safely to the tune of Zelda calling us morons and telling us to go home and play on our Nintendo’s.
After searching this wood under the watchful eye of the foot team the hunt moved towards Haddon Lodge. A second foot team went in at Clayhanger and the hounds were heard in cry heading back towards the foot team at Haddon Lodge. About five minutes later the hounds were no longer in cry and crossed the road between Clayhanger and Haddon Lodge where the huntsman took them west towards Wood House Covert and this was the end of the day.
We had a top team of sabs out today, originating from four different countries. Our multicultural team were united in one common aim: to monitor the law-breaking and wildlife persecution of hunt culture. It was an embarrassment to show visitors to our country what a minority do to wild animals in the name of twisted, cruel ‘sport’ in England.
Also out with the BSV hunt today in the role of terrier boy was the bearded psycho who has recently been questioned by the police about an incident when he stole a camcorder from a female sab. This case is currently being reviewed and we will update you when we have an update and also in relation to todays incident.
