Riders made noise to try and hide the sound of the hounds being onto the scent of a fox.

They are ALL complict in this illegal activity: the Badminton Estate who provide the kennels and the land to hunt on; the Duke of Beaufort who lives at Badminton House on the estate being Joint Hunt Master,

Thank you to all our supporters for the huge amount of support we have received for our drone fundraiser. We never imagined we could have raised so much, so quickly. You are amazing and we are so grateful!

We are so close to our goal now, link below for anyone who would like to make a donation 💚

The whole ghoulish spectacle finally packed up around 4pm, just as it was beginning to get dark.

Sabs were surrounded by stalker quads and vehicles for most of the day - yet were still able to stay with the hunt. The Beaufort Hunt are spending a fortune to stop Sabs but they never will.

the terrier boys and those on quads, who block setts, dig out foxes, keep them in artificial earths (the Beaufort have a lot of these) and carry the bin bags for any “accidents” and the car supporters who pay to follow in the hopes of seeing a poor animal terrified and running for their lives.

the hunt staff who are more determined and blatant this season - the new huntsman Will Bryer having come out of retirement for this ‘prestigious’ gig; the riders who financially support the hunt, who block Sabs and vehicles, who play an active part in the hunt by scaring foxes back into coverts

They then hunted Allen Gorse and Lords Copse - hounds being repeatedly brought back to the copse - and then north to Luckley Brake. Sabs were at Lords Copse while hounds were in cry and subjected to dangerous driving by quads and horses deliberately galloping at full speed next to them.

The hunt then tried to throw off Sabs by making a break for it south to Alderton, where Bristol Sabs saw a fox escaping from New Covert.

After hunting Dunley Gorse (note these are all places where they know foxes live), they slowly made their way back to Badminton Estate to second horse.

they headed south initially to Wick Farm and then north east to hunt Sopworth, Hundred Acre, then headed down to Luckington Court to hunt the disused quarry before heading to Commonwood Farm, where Sabs saw a fox escaping to the south, and up to Widleys Gorse.

There were more vehicles and support, even by their usual standards, due to the annual Yeomanry Ride being held just before the meet. Moving off late, no doubt fortified with copious amounts of alcohol (and more perhaps),

Our mates Cirencester Illegal Hunt Watch, Bristol Hunt Sabs and Reading Hunt Sabs felt the same and teamed up with us yesterday. The meet was at Worcester Lodge on the Badminton Estate. Promoted as a wedding venue, as well as used for events such as Tough Mudder.

Thanks to Reading Sabs for hopping in with us and Cirencester and Bristol Sabs for being there too.

Two terrier men quickly decided to don the smokescreen jackets, we’d love to see the video of them laying a trail across the main roads with no plan for road users safety in sight. If you’d like to help us out with a donation please do so here - all donations welcome www.paypal.me/wiltshirehun...

Motorists and motorcyclists, humans, livestock and pets, there is nothing the hunt won’t endanger in their pursuit of the fox. We hope this one got away. Footsabs caught up with them again at the aptly named “Twatley Farm” where the hunt staff were pretending it was an accident.
