Somerset Against The Badger Cull shared Herefordshire Hunt Sabs's post.
Somerset Against The Badger Cull

This is the reason we always tell people to watch their local badger setts when a hunt is in the area. Persecution happens all year round not just during the badger cull.

Herefordshire Hunt Sabs
Ledbury Hunt - Brainge, Putley - 7th Jan 2019

While huntsman Mark Meladay and hounds hunted through the large area of woodland that is Mains Wood and Commanders Wood, terrier men were caught digging out a badger sett on land belonging to HIll Farm, much higher up the valley. Sett entrances had been blocked, a net secured over one remaining unblocked entrance and a large hole had been dug into the sett. Realising they had been seen, the men retrieved the terrier that had been entered into the sett as quickly as possible and left the area. The area around the sett smelled strongly of fox. When informed that they were illegally interfering with a badger sett the men claimed they were rabbiting.

Usually the hunt draw the covert next to this sett after leaving Commanders Wood. Was their intention to flush a fox into the net and then release it in the covert just before the hounds arrived, providing some "sport" for the riders? Less than a week after the Kimblewick terriermen were caught on camera flushing a captive fox to hounds froman artificial earth, this looks very much like the Ledbury terriermen attempting to provide a fox for the hounds to hunt.

We are currently fundraising to buy a better quality camcorder. If you would like to support our work you can do so here

Make it your New Year resolution to join us in 2019.

Yet again we ran badger patrols across the county every night of the badger cull in 2018. We continue to stand up for badgers, conservation and science and will continue to do so. The badger cull continues to be unscientific, inhumane and ineffective. A big thank you to everyone who joined us this year in the new zones - we hope more of you will step out of your comfort zone next year to come and stand with us in 2019. ... See MoreSee Less

although their activity is a lot less at this time of year, our trailcams placed at various sites does pick up their comings and goings. Especially nice to see these two on Christmas Day. ... See MoreSee Less

Somerset Against The Badger Cull shared Somerset Hunt Saboteur Group's post.
Somerset Against The Badger Cull

We joined up with friends across the county to stand up for our wildlife in Chard today. Badger setts are regularly targeted during so called ‘trail hunts’ so please check on your local sett, if these lawbreakers are in your area.Great turn out here in Chard. This was one of many protests across the country. None of the people attending today were sabs, just ordinary local people fed up with this blatant disregard for the law. Thank you too to everyone who drove past us with their thumbs up, tooting their horns. #keeptheban ... See MoreSee Less

South and West Badger Protectors December 2018 newsletter.

As the badger cull figures are released for 2018, rather than focus on the negatives, we take a look back at our achievements throughout 2018.

We’ll address the cull figures in the January issue, once we’re rested and ready to take on whatever 2019 has in store for us.

Until then, we wish badger supporters everywhere, a very Happy Christmas. 🎄🎁 🎅 - mailchi.mp/fbd5c00786e1/dec18 ... See MoreSee Less

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible Summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there is something stronger - something better, pushing right back”
Albert Camus.

And push right back we will.
We continue to stand up for badgers, conservation and science - for as long as it takes.
