Hunt Saboteurs Association Press Release - 4th November 2012 - Prestigious Beaufort Hunt Filmed Chasing a Fox
Hunt saboteurs fimed the Beaufort hunt illegally hunting a fox during their opening meet of the hunting season at Worcester Lodge on the Badminton Estate, Gloucestershire on Saturday.
The small group of saboteurs kept a low profile throughout the day's hunt until near the end of the day they saw the hounds in full cry, hunting a fox, near Sopworth village. They attempted to call the hounds away from the fox and made it clear to the hunt that they had footage of the illegal hunting. The fox ran through the car supporters and along the road to safety. The pack picked up the scent of another fox which they hunted through an old tin shed in thick undergrowth and on through the village.
Lee Moon, spokesperson for the Hunt Saboteurs Association, stated: “If the Beaufort hunt were following a trail, as they claimed, then how and why did they lay it through thick undergrowth, underneath an old shed and then through a residential area? We are certain that 2 foxes were being chased and it was only the intervention of our members which helped them escape. The reality of a day out with the Beaufort is very different from that portrayed on the Daily Mail's website.”

The relevance of "the law" to you, depends on your relationship to the state.
Did some one say "ROYAL hunt" ?

Something bestowed on you by the state, like the "right" to claim welfare benefits?
or
Something which comes to you naturally, like the right to breath fresh air, or walk across the open land?
A natural moral right is something which comes to you naturally but only extends so far as the next mans "rights" begin. You don't have a "right" to deprive someone else of their "rights"
Animal "rights" is an extension of human morality to animals. It says a mans rights only extend to where the next mans (or animals) rights begin. The man doesn't have a "right" to infringe up on an animals "rights".

Why don't you take it to the police? They are not mind readers and don't sit on youtube all day looking for crimes. I think you can even ring them up by telephone
