  1. Sinn Féin party has voted to support a ban on #foxhunting in Ireland.

    The issue was hotly debated at the party’s Ard Fheis in Belfast last night, with a clear divide on display within the party on the issue.

    For years, Sinn Féin has been criticised by its left colleagues in the Dáil for being on the same side of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil on the issue

    “It is time to listen to our young people. It is time to remain relevant," said one member

  2. #foxhunting

    A fresh push to strengthen fox hunting laws is being welcomed by campaigners and anti-hunting groups.

    Labour's pledge to close what they describe as loopholes in the Hunting Act 2004 has drawn praise from the Hunt Saboteurs Association.

    Although fox hunting was banned in 2004, campaigners insist that illegal hunting remains widespread

  3. Ross Cordery, Wayne Greggory and James Parish of the Vale of Taunton and Banwell Harriers Hunt have been charged with hunting a wild mammal with dogs - an offence under the Hunting Act 2004.

    This prosecution comes after Somerset Hunt Saboteurs‘ drone caught the hunt chasing a fox at Chilton Trinity on 26 November last year

    #Foxhunting good news 🥳

  4. In line with their commitment in the 2024 Labour Party Manifesto, the government intends to ban trail hunting in England and Wales.

    They are asking for your views. This consultation could shape the future of hunting – now is the time to help bring it to an end.

  5. #foxhunting news

    Less than a week after the government published its long-awaited consultation on banning the smokescreen of trail hunting, three members of the Vale of Taunton & Banwell Harriers have been charged under the Hunting Act 2004.

    The three are: Ross Cordery, 45 of Highbridge, Wayne Greggory, 48 of Taunton, and James Parish, 31 of Uffcume in Devon

  6. Took my #Meshcore radio out on break this afternoon to a spot on the downward slope behind my office building, facing away from town. Tried my luck. Surprisingly, I got out of the hole and heard from 3 repeaters way over the hill. How is this possible?

    WELL, my theory is that I was reflecting off the office building on the next block and catching a great angle. Wow! I hadn't considered that was a thing, but that sort of trick is done in #foxhunting all the time! This gives me ideas.

  7. At last, trail hunting at last is set to be banned

    Baroness Sue Hayman, Animal Welfare Minister, said:
    We pledged to ban trail hunting in our manifesto, and that is exactly what we intend to do

    This announcement follows the publication of the Government’s Animal Welfare Strategy, which outlined the most ambitious reforms to animal welfare in a generation – improving the lives of millions of animals.

  9. Clacton MP and the current leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage, is a friend of #foxhunting.

    This Boxing Day he joined his friends at the Old Surrey Burstow and West Kent Hunt at their performative meet at Chiddingstone Castle, in Kent.

    Last week he said in response to the new Animal Welfare Strategy "𝘚𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘓𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘨𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴, 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴, 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘦𝘴."

    #Farage is the foxhunters number 1 election choice.

  10. English reactionaries rather like racism, but hate cruelty to animals.

    #NigelFarage learnt the hard way when he denounced #TheNewHuntingBan. His chums in #TheDailyMail gave Farage a slot to rage against the proposed ban on #trailhunts. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1

    Oops! Every top-voted comment in the #DailyMail backed the ban. Many say #ReformUK would lose their vote based on #Farage’s promise to overturn it.

    Opinion polls say the same. #FoxHunting is hated.

  11. He's just a regular bloke who likes a fag & a beer, oh & watching foxes being torn to shreds (if he could). I don't know anyone who goes out fox hunting at the weekends, it's not a normal thing to do.

  13. #Petition #UK #FoxHunting #TrailHunting

    Despite a supposed ban on fox hunting in 2005, evidence shows widespread foxhunting still goes on, despite claims it's just a scent trail being followed

    Residents, animal sanctuaries, businesses & even funerals have been disturbed by hounds tearing through their land & pets have been killed by these hunts

    When communities try to protest they face intimidation

    Please consider signing this petition to ban trail hunting for good

  14. Very pleased to see that the government is looking at banning trail hunting.

    If there are legitimate devotees of the sport of trail hunting, then tough. They've had 20 years to clean up their act and stop it being used as a cover for illegal fox hunting.

    They haven't. Whether that's because they can't or just don't want to, I don't know, but it's irrelevant anyway. Either way, trail hunting still leads to animal cruelty.

    Shameful. The bill to ban fox hunting in Ireland, proposed by People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger, has been defeated in the Dáil.

    The bill was defeated by a large majority.

    😒

  16. #foxhunting

    A Parliament-based campaign group and Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan are intensifying efforts to strengthen the ban on illegal foxhunting in England and Wales.

    Mr Duncan-Jordan plans to introduce a private member's Bill in the new year to close loopholes in the 2004 Hunting Act, specifically targeting trail-hunting.

    At last

  17. #foxhunting #animalrights

    Four more arrests have been made as part of an investigation into alleged illegal fox hunt.

    It follows a meeting involving the Coniston Foxhounds and Teme Valley Hunt in Ambleside, in the Lake District, on 8 November.

    Cumbria Police said three men and one woman were arrested in the Powys area of Wales on Thursday. They were held on suspicion of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

    It takes the total number of arrests to 16 and all have been bailed.

  18. Sorry, an *ethnic minority*? I really don't think you can become an ethnic minority by taking up a hobby. No matter how offended your privilege is at being stopped from doing the hobby.

  20. So #FoxHunting has been banned in the UK, including England, Scotland, and Wales, (but it is still legal in Northern Ireland). Undoubtedly it happened due to decades of protests and public opinion progressing most parts of the UK out of the barbarian age.

    Meanwhile In #Australia, it is legal on private property. A backwoods tradition that needs to go in the dustbin of history, though of course, Australia is always behind when it comes to progress.

    Yes, the #fox in Australia is an invasive species (purposefully brought here for hunting and or killing rabbits which again were brought in on purpose), and it is doing untold damage to the native fauna and flora of Australia. But perhaps there are better ways of protecting our native wildlife than staging elaborate elitist "hunts" and pretending we are still in the Middle Ages, riding poor tired horses, and training dozens of dogs to kill a fox, an animal that never asked or wanted to be transported thousands of kilometres from its native inhabitant.

    Like most of us who've been around a bit, I've seen some horrible videos, but that one made me literally shudder. I hope these criminals will face the consequences of their cruel and disgusting behaviour.
