Love where I live. Speaking up for Nature and change in the countryside. Now on Insta rather than this depressing place

Many Dorset fox hunters seen shadowing hunt staff at the Devon and Somerset Staghounds today. It's clear just banning "trail hunting" isn't enough, the Hunting Act exemptions used for stag hunting could easily be exploited by fox hunts to continue their grubby sport too.

@NDHuntSabs Disgusting

[Emily Heckscher @quantocknature]

Wish this was an April fools but sadly this is the scene all around me today. Fields being cut for grass which looks like it’s going to the digesters for electricity. At the very beginning of wild bird nesting season. What are we like????? 🤬 @Natures_Voice @NaturalEngland

The consultation on the Hunting Act is NOT an attack on the rural communities.

Most rural people (like myself) abhor hunting.

This is about protecting our wildlife from people who take pleasure in killing.

[Simon Sab @friendofthefox]

1/7 The consultation on hunting is deeply misleading. It presents trail hunting as the norm, when in reality only a small number of hunts—perhaps four or five—practice genuine end-to-end trail hunting. The government have researchers who understand this…

[North Dorset Hunt Saboteurs @NDHuntSabs]

@DefraGovUK What about other forms of hunting with dogs such as stag hunting who use other loopholes? Not good enough

@holnicoteNH Disgusting but not surprising seeing it’s Jeremy

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

[Emily Heckscher @quantocknature]

@holnicoteNH Money talks, sadly. Our government is just looking away ☹️

Woodland Trust property invaded again, this time the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale Hunt chasing a fox in Haddon Wood, Allhampton

Welcome to the @quantockhills

[North Dorset Hunt Saboteurs @NDHuntSabs]

A Quantock Staghounds rider Palmer just attacked a local. She took her phone out to send a text and he started shouting at her, so she began filming, then he did this. So threatened by anyone seeing them carrying out their dirty deeds, chasing pregnant deer and orphaning calves.

[Hunt Saboteurs Association @HuntSabs]

The absolute audacity of these lot. Today - the day @Cumbriapolice announce another 5 arrests in relation to the Coniston Foxhounds dig-out (total arrested so far is 12), and a day after we announced that a BHSA rep was at the Coniston meet, the BHSA fantasists come out with this corker. They have no shame. ⬇️

Sunshine and rewards on the @quantockhills today

[Emily Heckscher @quantocknature]

Just another “grey” day on the @quantockhills

[Protect the Wild @ProtectTheWild_]

Our recent foxhound animation is not fiction! This is what happens to unwanted foxhounds at many hunts!

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Please look at the 'ordinariness' of this. This is not going on in some cellar in the midst of a battle. This man is a minister in a democratically elected govt, in a country that is our ally. Is there no international concern at what's going on here?

[North Dorset Hunt Saboteurs @NDHuntSabs]

BSV supporter blocks the road then whines about being filmed, tries to steal a camera then threatens to slash our tyres and smash all our windows! Business as usual on the violent Blackmore and Sparkford Vale Hunt.... More to follow.
