This fox had a very lucky escape near #Retford recently. The Grove and Rufford Hunt continue to relentlessly chase foxes, luckily saboteurs were there this time to get between the fox and the hounds #huntsabs
The Grove and Rufford Hunt are blocking up badger sets at every meet so far this season. Interfering with a badger set is illegal and @nottspolice need to act!
This was last Saturday when the hunt met at Misterton Carr Farm.
Last Saturday we intervened to stop the Grove and Rufford Hunt killing a fox. @nottspolice need to do something about this hunt https://t.co/aRUfTeAmRY

Wet Friday Afternoon Hunt Sabotaged Around Laneham - the Grove and Rufford Hunt again tried sneaking out to avoid us but we found them putting the hounds into their favourite coverts in the shadow of Cottam Power Station.
It was great to see how many dog walkers and passersby hate the hunt around Laneham. Multiple people stopped to tell us how disgusted they were with the Grove and Rufford arrogantly continuing to carry on hunting despite it being illegal.
All that was left was for all the remaining hunt members to help Wally spend the next half hour gathering loose hounds. Some supporters even had to bring out their dog leads to help; what a shambles.
For one last ditch attempt at a kill, hounds were cast into scrub by the main Rollestone Road. Hunt members scrambled as they tried to prevent a fox cub from leaving the bramble patch, allowing the cub to run straight past sabs, who covered their scent and allowed them to escape
