"THEY CAREFULLY TRAIN THESE DOGS TO HUNT FOXES" - An extract from the Brocklesby Hunt website!
The domain for the website is down however, it was preserved and archived onto the internet in 2013. The website was last updated in 2012 in which it still contained the following quotes:
"The hounds take off in search of the foxes"
"They are extraordinary Foxhounds that can sniff out an animal they’re hunting with little trouble."
"They have a singular purpose and nothing can deter them from achieving it"
"They carefully train these dogs to hunt foxes for the pride of their masters"
"The horses of the Brocklesby Hunt are magnificent creatures trained to carry their masters to victory in the search for foxes."
The Brocklesby Foxhounds "always point out the foxes their masters search for."
One wonders why in 2012, a hunt that hadn't been monitored since the mid 90s would have these details on their website? Eight years after the Hunting Act 2004 was passed this was still brazenly displayed.
Could it be that trail hunting is a smokescreen for alleged illegal foxhunting?
Considering how "carefully" they were trained to "hunt foxes" we would surely have seen how magnificent these hounds are on a trail by now. 22 years is plenty of time to master trails, the Holderness managed it in just one season! (2025/2026)
Just last year, Lincolnshire Police posted on Facebook regarding a report of illegal fox hunting. Coupled with the foxes we’ve seen chased on the estate, and the fact it is very clear no trails are laid, it makes you wonder. We've been met with hostility, horses being ridden at us endangering our safety, threats of violence and being followed home. This is not how a trail hunt behaves.
Transparency for hunts is crucial, especially in the current political climate. The refusal for transparency deepens the suspicion of the public and ourselves.
We reached out to The Brocklesby Hunt again to see their trail laying process in the spirit of transparency, and the email once again sits unanswered.
