More to follow in the coming days…

𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 In the run-up to Boxing Day, the HSA received persistent, credible reports of recent videos and images showing criminal hunting activity being circulated on social media

Thanks to @mendiphuntsabs who joined us today and captured this clown show in action.

Terrierman throws rock at sab vehicle. Rock hits another terrierman! With @devoncountysabs at Eggesford today.

Yes, Jake. We all know sabs are famous for their ability to telepathically redirect flying rocks mid-air. Nothing says irony quite like being taken out by your own side and immediately blaming the people you were trying to attack in the first place. 04/04

As blood streamed down his face - courtesy of his own teammate - Jake did the only logical thing: pointed at sabs and declared, “You did this!” 03/04

Enter his mate, Tom Bounsall, who apparently thought the solution was to pick up a rock and launch it at our windscreen. Unfortunately for Jake, Tom’s aim was… optimistic. The rock smacked Jake Crabb square in the face, splitting his eyebrow. 02/04

Karma hits terrierman Jake Crabb in the face When we say karma, what we really mean is: the universe has a spectacular sense of timing. While sabbing Eggesford Hunt today, terrierman Jake Crabb decided the best way to stop our Land Rover was to climb onto the bonnet. 01/04

If this is the culture and tradition you are trying to defend, then it needs to end now.

Sabs stop Eggesford hounds in their tracks - and a thank you from us! This is one of many videos filmed at Eggesford Hunt's Boxing Day meet in the Okehampton area yesterday. 🧵🦊 01/10

THE HUNGER STRIKE IS NOT OVER. 4 @Prisoners4Pal hunger strikers paused, vowing to return to strike next year. 4 are still on strike and DYING: Heba Muraisi, Day 54. Teuta Hoxha, Day 49. Kamran Ahmed, Day 48. Lewie Chiaramello, Day 34. This is a message from Heba on Day 53:

It's also worth pointing out how easy it can be to spook a fox. Just the whispering and movement of the sabs was enough to turn the fox away from them. Think what the cracking of whips, saddle slapping, shouting, and hollering can do to turn foxes back towards the hounds.

What happens when sabs can rate hounds off before a chase has a chance to begin. https://t.co/D59A6fBxHv

Fox escaped past sabs while their mate was chased over the A30 by @DorsetMonitor Supporters got agitated at the sight of a fox getting away and Ditchman started bullying a female sab. He then did an Oscar worthy dive Steve Paul style! Watch to the end to see it!

Let's see how many of those MPs who attended Boxing Day hunt meets yesterday, defending trail hunting, will have the guts to condemn the BSV hunt today, openly fox hunting across the busy A30. None of the supporters who saw the fox warned the hunt staff that hounds were on a fox

In the meantime, please watch/share this video from yesterday. https://t.co/M0X6gLCB1U

With the new year approaching, we'd also like to thank everyone who has supported us this season, whether with tipoffs, hunt gossip (it's quite the soap opera!), donations or boots on the ground. We're so incredibly grateful for your support. 🫶🦊 09/10

If your new year's resolution is to do more for wildlife, why not consider becoming a sab? We're always on the lookout for new foot sabs, drivers, navigators, drone pilots and spotters. Drop us a message to find out more. 08/10

Regardless of what happens with the hunting ban going forward, and whether the planned amendments make it more enforceable or not, sabs will continue sabbing for as long as it takes. 07/10

This video is very similar to one we filmed at another meet of the Eggesford Hunt, in this very same valley last year. Which can be seen below. 06/10 https://t.co/7POye3Ij1W
