The woman arguing in favour of killing foxes - that debate has been had, it's not the issue here. The issue is that fox hunting is illegal and they're breaking the law. Her argument is as good as a confession.
I used to work on a farm and my boss despised the hunt. The foxes used to use our fields as an escape route and woe betide the hunter who tried to follow.
When I was a kid a fox hid from the hunt in our coal bunker. I also had to threaten a hunt with consequences, as a dozen of them lined up in an attempt to get on my father’s bit of land. Think my levels of aggression shocked them, hiding in their gang. That’s the way to do it 😊
The Rich and powerful don't treat Wildlife well or their workers. As a farmer daughter living in the Countryside all my life, I have always stood with anti-hunting, its barbaric, and our planet and all its life forms cannot handle this.
These Hunts are the countryside equivalent of the violent inner city gangs who are so vilified. Both repeatedly break the law. Both are foul mouthed, rude and arrogant. Both are violent and intimadatory. The police do a lot to catch and punish the inner city gangs and establishment figures refer to them as ferrel youths. Whereas the police do more to facilitate hunting than they do to stop it and establishment figures ride with them rather than vilify them. This is the real face of a two tier justice system. In the words of Mobius Loop " You on the hunt now don't be a c**t now, leave those baby foxes alone." Big respect to all the Sabs.
@@6brman224do the foxes take your money out of the bank? No, because they’re secure. I’ve been involved with small holding chicken rearing since child hood and I worked in construction for 10 years. It’s not hard making a secure henhouse and run if you’re competent and prepared to spend some time and effort in doing so. This argument is a non-sequitur.
Ive been petitioning my way for years after a being a sab in my youth. Trouble is I'm in Warwickshire and we have a police commissioner who's struck a secret deal (actually) with the hunt. Two tier society doesn't do it justice. Great film, bravo.
@@HelenaMikas That's the crazy thing. Whilst the content is secret the provision is not, open knowledge - I'll let you fall in that wormhole via Google.
@@HelenaMikas Dunt do any good. Where I live the Barlow Hunt were caught out on film hunting foxes and reported by several monitirs but nowt was done because one of the masters was a high ranking Police woman.
Thanks for showing this, it’s important to highlight the lawlessness that’s typically hidden from public view. I was personally stunned to see (on channel 4) foxes being pre-buried by some hunts and hear cubbing is still a thing, and bizarrely considered by some to be a wholesome family outing.
I'm not against hunting for food, I've worked lurchers & ferrets to hunt rabbits but I abhor fox hunting. I also get pissed off that there is one law for me, & no enforcement of the law for fox hunters. I live in rural Lincolnshire, a hunt meets in my village occasionally, it's usually utter chaos, horse riders galloping down busy roads, cars & lorries parked on narrow roads, no police about at all. Back in 80's I lived on the road, a "new age traveller" we were often met with riot police, helicopters, the whole shibang, these fuckers, Lady & Lord whatever do what they like with impunity. It's anachronistic that the ancestors of the knights who came over with William the conqueror still own vast estates & rule this country in 2025.
That's so right I worked for some of these c@@ts down south they don't know where the sun came up of a morning and treated their workers like they treat their animals luckily I was self employed and didn't have to put up with their shit .......
Fox hunting is a big no, however I think drag hunting is great. It’s sad people have to ruin it by using it as a smoke screen. It’s so selfish and has ruined it for everyone else doing it properly.
Farmers are a rather nasty breed and this lot don't care at all for animals .Thank you Chris for highlighting such cruelty.. Note ) I want to write but although British I am in Germany BUT pay tax to UK .each moth .Have the citizenship and passport .I can write to House of commons or minister in charge .Who is it now please let me know and I will dp my bit as a British person and tax -payer.. Wild life matters .
Superb reporting on this very important "Act for Wildlife". A blood sport that should be eradicated, and after years of groups supporting its abolition the hunting fraternities still continue. Makes me so angry. I have written to my local MPs several times, and I feel that there is such lack of motivation, especially when there is so much evidence to support to ban on fox hunting, but I will write again. Thank you CP for highlighting this hunting sport.
One of the worse offending hunts yet still allowed to meet on Priddy Green for meets. I think Priddy folk are pro-hunt at a time when many locals are turning against their local hunt.
The planet and all of nature on the brink. Beagle hunting for brown hares, fox hunting etc. All for perverted fun... carried out by people who just don't care. Just think how much better they would feel about themselves if they walked away from their brutal gangs and focused on a kind and loving life for all.
I'm against fox hunting. I don't believe fox hunting; sorry - trail hunting - has any validity. Well, almost. Nearly all hunts should be banned. I DO have some sympathy with people/farmers in the Southern Uplands/North Pennines because their terrain is particularly difficult (more so than Scottish highlands, anywhere in England, Wales or Northern Ireland). I am not convinced that shooting of foxes is more humane. However, an exception for that area would be far too difficult to administer and democracy said everyone should not hunt, everywhere in the UK. I agree.
They are clearly sadist poor animals they are not fit to own horses and dogs or any animals ban them from hunting the wildlife keep up the good work Chris and stands up for the animals and wildlife.
Outrageous, these people think they are above the law, because they ARE above the law. They all belong to the same clubs as the judges 😡 If they were trail running, they would be on a pre defined route, no straying on private land. If they were to keep trail hunting then the route should have to register it with police before the day, and they should have to stick to the route. Any straying from that route should be prosecuted. Far better to ban altogether, they have shown they cannot abide by the law, soan outright ban is the only sensible option.
Its the despicable folliwers . Arrogant riders and road blocking vehicles "having fun". Hate seeing our badgers decimated too. Soon they will be only seen in captivity. Why decimate our native animals then reintroduce lynx and beaver which will in turn become pests
Oh my god that is exactly what they are planning on joke...why else would you introduce animals like that and wild boar...... so you can get out with your chinless mates and kill everything....
You can clearly see that the horses on the road were stressed and nervous around the sabs (dressed in black and waving cameras around ) you can not say they were purposefully obstruction the road
2:45 "How is Universal Credit Today? Paying you well?" = Those who aren't Old Money and have empathy for fellow creatures are to be looked down upon. Seems a very sick outlook.
Horrific people. Law on there side. What can you do? Even with Chris packham wearing 'mountain' jacket who use duck down in there jackets. He does such good work then contradicts himself by wearing that clothing.
I absolutely agree that if people are breaking the law, they should be prosecuted. The footage used does not show any illegal activity in respect of fox hunting. Just because Chris Packham says something is happening, it does not make it true. Show some evidence to support your allegations and your words might have some credibility.
You'd think the apparent level of society the majority of the hunters are from, 🤷🏻♀️ Would have given them some clue about the crime they're committing, there are most likely 5 Yr olds and younger human beans with more concern and understanding. 🦔
Hi, thank you for your channel content. I am a 35 year old man living in Morocco and I want to travel to the Faroe Islands to work in the field of farming and raising sheep or in the field of fish factories. Please if you know someone who has a farm and wants foreign workers to work in the Faroe Islands please contact him for me and please
I've lived in the countryside all my life and I despise these selfish people.
Big same.
Know them... know exactly what you mean

Yh sure fox hunting is illegal but there is no evidence in that video that the hunt was not trail hunting
Did you not watch it all properly. It's very clear they were not following a trail layed by people.
I used to work on a farm and my boss despised the hunt. The foxes used to use our fields as an escape route and woe betide the hunter who tried to follow.

@strider9191 Nice one. My brother stopped his car in a field gateway to stop the hunt chasing a fox that had just run through it.
Fair enough. It's a matter for the landowner. Saboteurs and the Government have no business sticking their noses in.
But they are going on to public land, and private land not giving permission, roads etc.
The Rich and powerful don't treat Wildlife well or their workers. As a farmer daughter living in the Countryside all my life, I have always stood with anti-hunting, its barbaric, and our planet and all its life forms cannot handle this.
Thank you, well done 👌
I know what you mean having worked for these 'people' they treat the rest of us as far far below most of them don't know where the sun comes up
So glad to hear a voice from the countryside.
Good on the Sabs!
These people need to be charged with illegal hunting. NOW! Keep dping what you're doing Chris 👍

Well you are obviously in support of these bloodthirsty cretins! Is that n7q alluding to your I.Q. ?
You’re a real inspiration Chris, keep up the excellent work!! ⚖🙏❤✨🤗⭐🕊
The women on the horse swearing.. she's the epitome of shameful
Wonder if she’d behave like that, on her own, in a face to face situation…? 😂
she's the product of a too small gene pool.

Well done Chris. It’s about time this was brought up, the sabs seem to be out there alone.
Chris packham is the biggest backward dislecsic twat that ever lived why don’t he just shut up for good
The Sabs and monitors who've been tirelessly documenting and campaigning against this nasty blood sport have all my respect.
''Trail Hunting'' = oh, a fox accidentally crossed our path and before we knew it, the hounds had savagely ripped the poor thing apart, oops!
Sick !!!!
Sub human........
It’s disgusting

No, universal credit isn't paying well.
Good work Chris... This vile practice needs to end... Also, lots of fox hunting going on in south gloucestershire...

How guilty did all those hunters look 😂
Horrific people. Law on there side. What can you do? Even with Chris packham wearing 'mountain' jacket who use duck down in there jackets. He does such good work then contradicts himself by wearing that clothing.
Duck down, how is this obtained from the ducks. Is it a wild life crime?
Mountain Equipment use synthetic and down! Synthetic is way better in the wet, as it doesn't compress/flatten. I think that jacket is synthetic...
The jacket he's wearing isn't available in synthetic down. He wore their clothing on winter watch which are only available in duck down.
You can not prove the hounds where chasing foxes from the video as they could of easily been edited in.
Fkn wake up lad.
Charming!..3:13
