“𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗕𝗘 𝗝𝗨𝗗𝗚𝗘𝗗 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗨𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗗𝗦”
With most fox hunts having held their opening meets last Saturday, the HSA is today releasing further footage showing the cruel and illegal practice of ‘bolting’ taken by one of the hunters themselves.
As the video opens, a gang of hunters are using a spade, and perhaps terriers, to dislodge a fox from his underground refuge. As soon as the terrified fox bolts downhill, he is pursued by a large pack of baying fell hounds. Hunt supporters – eager to get a view of the fox’s suffering – can be seen scattered across the distant fellside.

This may be a distressing watch. ⚠ Captured on CCTV by one of our foster carers, a spontaneous #Fireworks display shows the devastating effect on horse welfare. 💔
We’re urging people to reconsider planning or attending #BonfireNight displays and consider pets and wildlife.
Tedworth Hunt illegally hunted this fox on a @NaturalEngland SSSI on Saturday, they didn’t know we had a drone over them, so they thought they were out of sight. Huntstaff made no effort to call the hounds off. They also flushed deer. The animals thankfully got away.
Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.
The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.
Hands up who wants fox hunting finally banned in #Ireland 🙌💚🦊 Another hunting season is about to begin and foxes like this beauty will be chased to exhaustion and ripped apart by packs of hounds. It's time for the Irish Government to ban this barbarity https://t.co/HybVyrILyt
We might be unpopular for saying this but we don’t care.
We loathe the use of fireworks, they frighten animals and disturb wildlife and for what?!
They’re utterly pointless! Do you agree?
Thank you @UofGlasgow for bestowing upon my mum the honorary degree of doctor of the University of Glasgow. This has brought her so much joy in the final beats of her life. Janey is so honoured, and I am so immensely proud of her. Congratulations Doctor Godley.
