It's always the same old tired arguments from those in support of trail hunting . The truth is it was always a smokescreen for illegal fox hunting to continue – they even admitted it themselves . A ban can't come quick enough !

1/4 This is "Trail Hunting!" On 22nd Dec 2025, the same day the Government formally announces it will ban so called "trail hunting," as it is used as a cover for real fox hunting, the Thurlow Hunt have killed a fox, during, you guessed it, a "trail hunt."

Fox hunting never stopped, it just got rebranded as “trail hunting”. This video shows the truth - a fox, thrown to the dogs, for fun. It’s fox hunting, it’s illegal and it hasn’t stopped. it’s still happening. Time to close the loophole and end fox hunting for real. Video credit: Hunt Saboteurs Association

An ITV News report from 2023 about illegal fox hunting. As Brian May says, "There is no place for organised law-breaking, and torturing of animals in 2023." It's 100% time to ban trail hunting to close the loophole they've exploited to continue the killing.

The Mendip Farmers Hunt chased this fox in full view of paying field riders and vehicle support after they met at Ston Easton Park Hotel today. This is why we need a proper ban on fox hunting / trail hunting now. (1/)

I observed The Grafton Hunt today. My takeaways: 1. The Hunting Act is not fit for purpose - it's full of loopholes. 2. It appears hunters are flouting the law to hunt foxes under the guise of trail hunting. 3. We urgently need a New Hunting Ban to protect wildlife.

Trail hunting was introduced after the Hunting Act 2004 as an alternative to fox hunting. Labour pledged to ban the practice in its 2024 manifesto, but organisations are now lobbying MPs to oppose the move, warning it could put 1,000 rural jobs at risk. Anna Riley

We’ve just seen a fox fleeing for its life with a load of hounds from the Cottesmore Hunt charging in the same direction and we’ve seen no attempts by the hunt to call them off. Blatant illegal fox hunting in front of our eyes. Help to stop fox hunting

Fox hunting still exists, hiding behind the lie of "trail hunting." It's barbaric, illegal, and has no place in modern society. Foxes deserve protection, not persecution. End this cruel tradition for good! 🦊❌

In case you've missed it, something completely insane is currently happening in the state of Oregon. A group of liberal environmentalists are trying to put a referendum on the statewide ballot that would amend state law to ban hunting, fishing, and even pest control. It would make it illegal to kill any animal and virtually wipe out the entire agriculture, hunting and wildlife management industries overnight. And the organization behind it has over 90% of the signatures they need to put it on the ballot.

Fox hunting is DISGUSTING. Tearing apart innocent animals for “sport” is barbaric and has no place in modern society. The so-called “ban” is a joke—loopholes let cruelty continue. We need a PROPER ban NOW.
