A snapshot of what a stag is up against in a stag hunt - in this case the Devon and Somerset Staghounds. Even if the stag manages to evade the hounds, there are a multitude of riders and support covering the whole area, ready to report his latest location by radio to the huntsman

Whoa… WHAT?!!
Farage told us it was all for security - where did he suddenly get £1.4m in cash to buy a property if it wasn’t from Harborne’s £5m ‘gift’ ?
This stinks more every day.

Horses being cruelly exploited in Turkey. They are not ours to abuse! 😡

Let’s hope justice is served in court and this scumbag receives a significant custodial sentence.

Igor Lytvynchuk, 37, has been identified as the man hurling large rocks at Lani, a critically endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal, off the coast of Maui’s near Shark Pit Beach in Lahaina.

Trump has gone completely over the edge in this deranged post.
A Dutch band (from an island?) is now getting worldwide free publicity and exposure thanks to the orange basketcase.

Miyako has spent over fifty years in solitary confinement in a tiny enclosure in Utsunomiya, Japan. Since she was brought to Japan aged 6 months, she has never had another Elephant as a companion.

Please sign this petition to retire Miyako to a sanctuary.

URGENT GLOBAL ACTION: The UK parliament is scheduled to debate animal toxicity testing this Monday afternoon.

We need to make sure the Prime Minister is aware of the international outrage at the recent footage out of UK toxicity testing labs. This will support the many MPs standing up for the animals in this debate.

Sending a message to the British PM will take a minute more than our normal actions – but it is such an important action to take.

Please go to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s contact form and tell him about this harrowing new evidence out of UK laboratories ➡️ https://t.co/pJA2VOMfIH

Your message can be simple and short, but please convey these sentiments:

1️⃣You are shocked and distressed by the recent footage of beagles, primates and other animals suffering in toxicity testing labs in the UK.

2️⃣Call on him as PM to act to end it. There is no justification for inflicting such suffering on animals, especially when modern human-relevant technologies already exist to replace these tests.

Once you’ve sent the form, you will receive a validation link to your email which you need to click for the message to go through. Please don’t miss this important step!

Once you have taken action, comment DONE below to let us know. The animals are counting on us to speak up for them. Thank you. 🙏

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States.
Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

HERE WE GO.

Water testing at Henley-on-Thames revealed E coli levels 10 times above the threshold for safe bathing water.

Govt have refused an application from local community groups to become a designated bathing spot because of the low number of swimmers. I wonder why that is? 🤬

Terrible cruelty to ponies in Ireland

Thankfully sabs were present so the hunt were forced to stop the hounds entering the sanctuary. They searched the surrounding area in case the stag had come out, including National Trust Willoughby Cleave and even Holford Village Green area, much to the displeasure of residents

A brave stag ran the gauntlet today to escape the Quantock Staghounds after a brutal 3 hour chase. A rider was off his horse and approaching the hiding stag to shoot him, when he jumped up and made a heroic run for his life to a LACS sanctuary as riders tried to block him

A quiet Hampshire village was left reeling after a masked man allegedly dumped the carcasses of 50 hares, along with a barn owl and a kestrel, outside a community shop in what prosecutors described as a 'horror movie scene'.

Southampton Magistrates' Court heard that James Kempster, 39, arrived outside Broughton Community Shop at 3.23am on March 15 last year, wearing a balaclava and tracksuit, before 'discarding' dozens of dead animals across the forecourt.

The court was told he then began 'ripping' some of the hares in half, leaving 'blood dripping on the floor', while also smearing blood across the shop windows. The bodies of a barn owl and a kestrel were allegedly stuck onto the shop's door handles.
Prosecutors say the shocking incident lasted just three minutes and involved two other men, who were seen on CCTV but have not been charged.
Kempster, of Totton, denies the charges but is on trial accused of two counts of possessing a live or dead wild bird under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, as well as one count of criminal damage.
Opening the case, prosecutor Adam Cooper told the court: 'This case is about a horror movie scene outside Broughton Community Shop on March 15, 2024.

The court heard Kempster was identified through DNA evidence, phone tracking data and clothing matching that seen on CCTV. He was not wearing gloves during the incident.

Convicted fox hunter Wayne Greggory leaves court after £250 fine and says ‘I’m going hunting now anyway’. The hunting ban as it is right now is a joke.

[Devon County Hunt Sabs @devoncountysabs]

I’m sure the BHSA will be clawing to suspend the only recently formed Vale of Taunton and Banwell Harriers after this conviction… right…?
