It's not changed, they still get away with fox hunting just like they always did. This govt say they're going to tighten the law but we'll see

Great news, it's the beginning of the end for hunts when they can't hang onto hunt staff

Any donations towards our equipment and fuel to keep us stopping the hunt are always appreciated PayPal.me/SheffHuntSaboteurs

It was great to see how many dog walkers and passersby hate the hunt around Laneham. Multiple people stopped to tell us how disgusted they were with the Grove and Rufford arrogantly continuing to carry on hunting despite it being illegal.

The Grove then went south and hunted the willow plantations. Supporters leered from the roadside hoping to see them on a fox but we kept up with hunt, stopping the opportunity to chase a fox

All that was left was for all the remaining hunt members to help Wally spend the next half hour gathering loose hounds. Some supporters even had to bring out their dog leads to help; what a shambles.

For one last ditch attempt at a kill, hounds were cast into scrub by the main Rollestone Road. Hunt members scrambled as they tried to prevent a fox cub from leaving the bramble patch, allowing the cub to run straight past sabs, who covered their scent and allowed them to escape

Despite covering a lot of ground, very little happened for the rest of the morning. The hunt decided to drag the morning out, by drawing Rollestone Gorse right by the meet to no avail.

The hunt spent the morning traipsing the hedges and banks of the Trent between Rolleston and Staythorpe, with all seven field riders following behind. At one point, huntsman Whalley spent a decent amount of time trying to kill a fox in a boat yard on the banks of the Trent

But by 6:30pm he'd done wallowing in sewage, and was taking his hounds back to the meet.

Without a moment's delay, we jumped back in the van, and headed back to the pub...

They hunted the land around Rampton Secure Hospital, and the sewage works (all the glamorous places) with huntsman Whalley doing his usual 'Where's Wally' trick of getting off his horse to rampage through the woods with his hounds.

We found the Grove and Rufford Hunt at Beardsall Farm near East Drayton. They spent the day half heartedly hunting in scrub and woodland but there was a lack of holding up or terrier work, the more overtly nasty bits of hunting. Presumably that was the plan they had to change with us turning up.
