This was reported today in the corp press and no reports mention animals beening killed. They also quote:-

'the Hunt Saboteurs Association stressed none of its members were responsible for the incident.'...'a spokesman for the Hunt Saboteurs Association said: “I can say categorically no member of the HSA would take any action that would endanger the life of hunting hounds and horses. We care for their welfare.”'

'Spokeswoman for the League Against Cruel Sports Wanda Wyporska said: "Although firmly and strongly opposed to bloodsports, the League utterly condemns this irresponsible action.'
