Not 30 miles from the politicians in Westminster; the Surrey Union hunt chased a terrified fox along the A29 and around Ockley village green before ripping it apart on the cricket pitch. This was the reality in England on Saturday January 5th 2008 (3 years after hunting was banned)

What does it say about the law when the most piss-poor hunt in the country can hunt with impunity under the noses of the police and manage to kill a fox in full view of horrified villagers and motorists. Using the same hounds, continuing to hunt where they know they'll find foxes, chasing them or putting them to ground, continuing to dig with terriers, they then expect you to believe this was an accident.

HSA News Release 14th January 2008
Remember that hunting ban?
The Surrey Union foxhunt managed to kill yet again in public last Saturday 5th January. For the second year running they allowed their hounds to pursue and kill a fox in open view.
Last year it was after trespassing on a golf course at Newdigate.. This time it was in Ockley, Surrey. The hounds chased a fox into the middle of the village and caught and disembowelled it in the centre of the cricket pitch. The police eventually turned up after a 999 call and took a statement from a bystander who witnessed the horrific scenes as the animal was ripped apart by a full pack of hounds.
This happens almost every day the length and breadth of the country, but usually safely away from public scrutiny.
Hunt Saboteurs have to witness such scenes week in and week out, nearly three years after the Hunting Act came into force. Not surprisingly, foxhunts in England feel they are above the law. The Surrey police present in three vehicles on Saturday were miles away from the hounds when the fox was killed. The hunt packed up straight away, leaving the carcass in the village.
Based on the previous treatment of numerous submissions of video evidence, the police investigation will lack the gravitas and scrutiny it deserves.
Lee Moon, spokesman for the Hunt Saboteurs Association said: “Foxes are hunted and killed as if the ban never came into effect. By laying a trail through fox habitat, or having an owl in a box, the hunts can kill with impunity.
We have tried to let the law work, but with the police not interested, and a paltry number of cases brought to court, it has to be the time for a return to direct intervention; to no longer put up with the cosy relationship the hunts seem to have with the local constabularies; to make sure the wildlife of this country is safe from the barbarous practices of the past.
Animals are protected from hunts by law, but if the law won’t help them then hunt sabs will have to.”

When the ban (Ban what ban? I hear you ask) came in the system of hunt sabbing etc was relaxed in the vain hope that the law would be enforced. Time to organise and get active again. Don't let the sick bastards get away with it.

Saying that people who oppose fox hunting don’t understand country ways is like saying that people who oppose urban teen shootings and stabbings don’t understand youth culture!
By tying your own perversion for killing wild animals for fun into a supposed wider attack on the country way of life you are (probably deliberating or maybe stupidly) obscuring the very real economic and social problems that exist in a country side fighting for a survival which has nothing to do with fox hunting. I doubt if country dwellers who need to be heard will thank you for that.

I say to everyone with strong anti-hunt feelings - don't just sit on the internet GET OUT THERE AND JOIN YOUR LOCAL SAB GROUP ----- WE NEED YOU. It is simple; the more people we have out sabbing, the more effective we can be and the less chance of events like these repeating themselves.
WE NEED SABS. THE TIME IS NOW. DO SOMETHING.
(full contact details can be found on hunt sabs site, Croydon sabs has pick ups from Brixton and other south london locations.)
