Normal people watch this beautiful clip of cubs innocently playing and our hearts melt... The hunts watch it and salivate at the prospect of their new hounds killing the cubs during their training

Being held are photographs of animals.
Each species are infinitely different from the next and each individual is special and unique in their own way.

The only common denominator between them all?
The dominion inflicted upon them by humans.

The exploitation is vast, virulent and unnecessary.
Whether hunted, tested on, used and abused for entertainment or confined to a miserable life in the industrial food complex, purely to satisfy a fleeting taste sensation. Each and every life is remembered around the world on National Animal Rights Day.

One thing we can all do to reduce the amount of suffering we cause in our daily lives is to pause, spare a thought for the animals, then choose the vegan option.

Cubbing starts in August! Hunts will train the new dogs they've bred during the 'off-season' by hunting the young cubs. Because the cubs are young and naive they're an easy target, many adult foxes will sacrifice themselves to save their babies...

It's that time of the season when young cubs are exploring beyond their dens without their watchful mothers. They are vulnerable near roads. Let's drive with heightened care and attention to safeguard these inquisitive little ones. 🦊

While the fox Hunts allow the vixens to raise their families ready for the hunts to kill during cubbing season in August, the Mink and otter hunts are out instead

As mink & otter hunts take to the water, Hunt Sabs are appealing to you - our eyes and ears in the countryside - for information.

The summer bloodsport season is well underway, with these hunts taking to the nation’s waterways from April to October to target mink and otter.

Whether it’s a post on social media or gossip overhead in a pub, no piece of information is too small to be of interest, and we treat all sources with 100% confidentiality.

If you hear a hunt is going to take place, or you’re out in the countryside and suspect you see or hear one of these hunts meeting or in progress, (eg. a collection of suspicious vehicles or hear a hunting horn and hounds on a river), then let Hunt Sabs know ASAP!

On 25th October 2025 Peter Brooks, a BSV supporter, carried out a totally unprovoked attack on one of our female Sabs, causing her a neck injury that required hospital treatment. He pleaded guilty at Yeovil Magistrates on 19th May 2026 and was sentenced to pay £120 fine and £175 compensation. This is now his second conviction for assaulting a female Sab. Let’s hope it'll be the last time he does it!
