South Durham hunt have just chased three deer onto the road,sadly one has been hit by a car and is in a bad way. We have contacted the police and will wait with the deer until they arrive.
Two foxes and 1 hare saved today, at one point we filmed South Durham blatantly encouraging hounds onto the line of a pregnant Vixen. They must have been on it for a while as it looked exhausted. It got away though. Footage and pics coming soon 😍🦊@Keeptheban_
Really hard day yesterday, lot of walking, lots of abuse including being spat on and a female monitor being rode into but lots of deer and 1 fox seen to safety. We had 2 teams out and we were on them most of the day, they weren’t happy at all.
I think that the hunting fraternity know their days are numbered after the last 12 months of bad press, there has been so much violence already this season so it’s pretty obvious we are getting to them. We need to stand up to the intimidation which I’m sure we will ✊
We had a really good day on Saturday, both teams worked so well together in tough conditions, We were with hunt most of the day and saw 2 deer, 1 hare and 2 foxes to safety using gizmo and voice calls. The hounds were with us more than they were the hunt 😎
Taken just a few minutes ago, Mark Baldwin of South Durham Hunt whipping hounds for no reason whatsoever. The yelp from the poor hound is just awful. Please RT @rupertevelyn @domdyer70@ChrisGPackham@rickygervais@RichardBowler1
