With the official start of the hare hunting season just a few weeks away, news reaches the HSA that the Sandhurst & Aldershot Beagles - unaffectionately known as ‘SAB’- are no more. This is excellent news for local lagomorphs as the Sandhurst had a reputation as fast, effective pack who killed a lot of hares.

The season so far. The stag hunting season has only been underway for just over a month and already stags in the Southwest of England have been subjected to abhorrent levels of cruelty and pain by the stag hound packs, who, for over twenty years have hidden behind loopholes such as ‘Research & Observation’.

On Saturday (6th September) hunt sabs shut down the Three Counties Mink Hounds in Warwickshire. Sabs from the Nottingham, Severn Vale, Three Counties and West Midlands groups mobilised after receiving intel that the hunt would be meeting at Whitehouse Farm, Aston Cantlow in Warwickshire - the home of former hunt master, Mark Allen. The hunt was stopped in their tracks less than half an hour after they started, moving south along the River Alne. The post Midlands Mink and Otter Hunt Stopped in...| Hunt Saboteurs Association
All charges have been dropped against members of Severn Vale Hunt Saboteurs who were arrested back in January 2025 as they prevented illegal hunting by the Radley College Beagles near Faringdon in Oxfordshire.

It was the will-they, won’t-they, on-off relationship that had the nation gripped for months, but the HSA can exclusively reveal that the Herefordshire-based Ross Harriers have walked out on hunting’s regulatory body, the British Hound Sports Association.

Our annual campaign to disrupt the high-profile ‘Glorious 12th’ – the opening day of the gamebird shooting season – every August targeting the grouse moors of the north of England has been immensely successful. Many shoots now deliberately schedule opening meets later in the week and beyond to avoid us. However, today is where the […] The post Red Sky in the Morning: Partridge Shooting Season Commences appeared first on Hunt Saboteurs Association.| Hunt Saboteurs Association
