We are so sorry, the Quantock Staghounds have just killed a young stag in front of sabs and monitors. We heard the shot and found them all standing over the body. The stag had been chased all day and could go no further. He had layed down in the gorse to hide.

The first of 3 foxes we helped to safety on the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale Hunt today at Lydford Fair Place. Surely they're putting the BHSA in a VERY awkward position. How are they going to justify reaccrediting them next season?

Chased for hours and killed today by the Devon and Somerset Staghounds. Shortly before he'd crashed into a fence in exhaustion and terror. He ran up and down the river trapped by hunt support and too tired to climb the steep valley sides. So sorry we couldn't stop them shooting

So sorry the Devon and Somerset Staghounds killed this poor stag today. The monsters chased him down for miles on quadbikes until he hid in a steep valley. Gunman went in and he heroically ran on for another hour before being killed. All we found left was his blood - devastating.

We've had news that fox cubs are already being born in Dorset. This is much much earlier than usual, they usually arrive in March. We've been seeing foxes in pairs being chased since November. Many more cubs than usual could be orphaned by hunting and starve this year as a result
