FOX RIGHT OFF

What do you call 60 animal rights activists, a huntsman with a broken pelvis and some very happy foxes?... a successful day's hunt sabbing!

On Saturday (15th) Brighton hunt sabs met up with other groups from as far afield as Leeds and Nottingham and descended on the Suffolk countryside. On one of the biggest ‘hits’ seen over the past few seasons, sabs prevented dig outs, made off with the pack and prevented the hounds from getting onto the scent of foxes using citronella sprays throughout the course of the day.

The call-out was made by the North London group due to the hunt becoming increasingly violent over the season, and reports of up to four kills regularly being made on a single day.

Old timers and new comers couldn’t help but feel a real sense of unified resurgence in anti-hunt activity when they glanced over there shoulders to see a muddy field full of black and camo clad sabs sweating out their hangover on a Saturday morning.

Highlights of the day were the cheesy (dairy free of course) group photo, the token owl and a very disgruntled hunt master being pelted with donkey turd. Priceless.
