Earlier this year Alex Thompson, Chief Correspondent for Channel 4, did a report on illegal fox hunting and how 'trail' hunting is merely a smokescreen. Part of this report featured men known to be associated with the Heythrop Hunt, encouraging foxes into a copse by feeding them.

Hunts all over the country will be gearing up to head out and kill foxes for the cub hunting season. Please be vigilant and if you have any information regarding a hunt near you, please contact your local hunt saboteur group www.huntsabs.org.uk/local-groups/

Badgers are often the forgotten victims of fox hunting, an illegal activity that is supported by Nigel Farage and his Reform party, and now they are encouraging a cull of badgers in Wales, despite there being no scientific evidence that this is effective in dealing with bovine TB.

Rest in Power Bill Oddie, wildlife legend and anti-badger cull campaigner. Bill Oddie - a powerful advocate for wildlife and joined anti-cull actions alongside hunt sabs. Once he wore a Newcastle United top to a patrol, hoping to be mistook for a badger! Truly a sad loss, rest easy, Funky Gibbon!

Funny 'trail' laid over the A14, across a dual carriageway. Absolute carnage scenes as a hound was hit and killed, a motorist whose car air bag deployed was thankfully uninjured. This 2018 incident involving the Fitzwilliam Hunt demonstrates perfectly the reality behind the 'trail hunt' myth.

In 2025 Farage's Reform took a £100,000 donation from the master of the Jed Forest Hunt. Farage has always been vocal about his support for fox hunting and his intention to repeal the ban should he be in a position to do so. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.
