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.

Yesterday we were back out making sure the Grove and Rufford Hunt don't kill any foxes: https://t.co/xLKirybVi5

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

We can now reveal the moment a fox was dug-out from their refuge, before being callously and cruelly thrown to waiting fox hounds.

This horrific event occured on Saturday 8th November 2025, during a meet of the Coniston Hunt in the Lake District National Park.

Hunt saboteurs from Lake District Hunt Saboteurs were able to record the entire macabre scene using their high-spec drone.

Chris Packham was asked to comment and has rightly described those inflicting the sickening cruelty upon the animal as 'psychopaths'.

The Grove and Rufford Huntsman wasn't happy to see us on Saturday - for full hit report see our other socials

We stopped the Grove and Rufford Hunt next to Clumber Park yesterday.

We've got a stall here on Sunday - come say hi - @sheffieldradicalbookfair on insta for more details of the event

[Sheffield Hunt Saboteurs @SheffHuntSabs]

The Grove and Rufford Hunt aren't even pretending to lay a trail this season. They're blatantly trying to hunt foxes and that means they lost control of the hounds in this field of cows.

Any donations towards our equipment and fuel to keep us stopping the hunt are always appreciated https://t.co/GiJSJGrCD6

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.

[Sheffield Hunt Saboteurs @SheffHuntSabs]

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.

[Sheffield Hunt Saboteurs @SheffHuntSabs]

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.

Dawn rises over Staythorpe power station as we stopped convicted huntsman Jacob Whaley chasing foxes along the River Trent this morning. 1/x

[Sheffield Hunt Saboteurs @SheffHuntSabs]

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
