On 8 November 2025, Lake District Hunt Saboteurs captured horrific drone footage of the Coniston Foxhounds on the Lake District fells. A fox had been hunted to ground. A terrier was sent underground, and attacked the fox. Hunters were filmed digging down to where the terrier had latched onto the fox, before dragging her from her refuge and carrying her towards a waiting pack of hounds. She was thrown to the hounds and torn apart. In the days that followed, Cumbria Police identified the Teme Valley Hunt as also involved in a joint meet. By the end of November, 16 arrests had been made. The investigation remains ongoing one year on. Earlier this year the government launched a consultation as part of its manifesto promise to strenghen the ban on this disgusting, depraved pastime. We are still waiting for action. How much longer will our wildlife have to put up with this unspeakable cruelty. Where is the legislation we were promised? It is time to 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘!

Today hunts will be out there breaking the law and trying their hardest to terrorise and kill wildlife, and sabs will be out there stopping them. For over 60 years the HSA has been saving lives and documenting the cruelty inflicted upon wildlife by hunts and today is no different. Sabs from over 60 affiliated groups will not only be evidencing illegal hunting and the crimes that come along with it, but they'll also be putting themselves between the hunts and the wildlife they want to see suffer. We are proud to support amazing groups all over the country, providing them with vital equipment to keep them in the field. We are also proud of each and every single saboteur who gives up their time to save lives voluntarily. If you would like to donate to the work we do and be a part of the fight against blood sports then you can donate to the HSA at huntsabs.org.uk/donate/

On the 3rd November 2026 The Cottesmore Hunt rampaged through a graveyard in St Peter's Church, Knossington, shortly after they'd run amok through Knossington Therapeutic school, clearly on the line of a fox. This isn't the first time a hunt has allowed hounds to run, out of control, through a graveyard. The Warwickshire Hunt faced public backlash after their hounds ran through St James Church, Idlicote back in 2019. The huntsman was nowhere to be seen as hounds defecated near headstones, and of course no-one bothered to clean up after them. In February 2026 it was reported by the League Against Cruel Sports that The Middleton Hunt tore through Mowthorpe Garden of Rest within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in North Yorkshire. Hunts have no respect for the living; with constant reports nationally of trespass, hounds running through private gardens and the general public being put at risk by their actions. They also have no respect for the dead; with hounds running through graveyards and defecating near headstones. Hunts will stop at nothing to terrorise and kill wildlife, regardless of who they affect and whose loved ones they disrespect.
