Today hunts will be out there breaking the law and trying their hardest to terrorise and kill wildlife, and sabs will be out there stopping them. For over 60 years the HSA has been saving lives and documenting the cruelty inflicted upon wildlife by hunts and today is no different. Sabs from over 60 affiliated groups will not only be evidencing illegal hunting and the crimes that come along with it, but they'll also be putting themselves between the hunts and the wildlife they want to see suffer. We are proud to support amazing groups all over the country, providing them with vital equipment to keep them in the field. We are also proud of each and every single saboteur who gives up their time to save lives voluntarily. If you would like to donate to the work we do and be a part of the fight against blood sports then you can donate to the HSA at huntsabs.org.uk/donate/

Our #Cyprus team hit a major milestone over the weekend in combating illegal bird poaching by removing our 1000th limestick of this autumn camp! We’ve rescued >900 live birds & ensured the arrest of 35 poachers so far. Every trap removed saves thousands more migratory birds!

Result of sorts thanks to Cabs please support if you can
⚖️ HISTORIC VICTORY IN SICILY! 🇮🇹 Acting on a lawsuit by CABS & partners, the Administrative court in Palermo has officially ended the hunting season across Sicily due to illegal practices targeting endangered birds. ~27,000 hunters grounded & 100k+ migratory birds saved!

Think fleeing saves you? Think again. 🛑 A poacher in Zygi, #Cyprus was caught TWICE in 3 weeks, racking up €18,500+ in fines for illegal mist netting. Big penalties are crucial to ending the illegal bird trapping for good!

Jon is an Accrington Stanley fan to boot whoopee. Saw him in concert recently and his voice is still magnificent.

Dear @KemiBadenoch @griffitha @Conservatives. Might seem a tad counter-intuituive but surely you need a stronger and better resourced @NaturalEngland and @EnvAgency if you want to speed up economic development without making HUGE mistakes we all come to regret, doh ????

Despite the recent reports from Three Counties Hunt Saboteurs detailing the sickening kill which happened at The Heythrop Hunt on the 18th of September, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has yet again spoken out of her support for hunting. Earlier this year she attended the Heythrop's point-to-point fundraising event, rubbing shoulders with the likes of huntsman Ollie Dale, a notorious hunt thug (who assaulted a female - receiving a conditional caution). The recent kill by The Heythrop took place in Lower Swell, Gloucestershire and despite Dale running away with the dead fox, blood and internal body parts remained at the scene. Yet despite this Kemi continues to voice her support for these criminals, showing just how out of touch she is with the public, including those who live in rural communities who suffer greatly at the hands of hunts.

And his leader supports fox hunting. What an absolute xxxxxxx shower of a party.
Reform UK MSP Jamie Langan has twice pressed the Scottish Government to safeguard the Guga hunt as a cultural tradition - defending a practice that involves young Gannet chicks being ripped from their nests and bludgeoned to death.

Sea Shepherd is taking the fight from the Southern Ocean to store shelves. Help us drive krill products out of the market. Use the Krill Toolkit to pressure retailers, audit shelves and report what you find. Industrial fleets are stripping krill from an ecosystem where whales, penguins and countless other species depend on it to survive. What our crews expose in the Southern Ocean becomes pressure on the companies and retailers that keep this destructive industry profitable. Contact retailers. Check their shelves. Report krill products. Support businesses that refuse to sell them. Take the mission to land. Click LINK IN BIO for the free tool kit. Help us save Antarctica. #seashepherd #antarctica #krillsupplements

It’s also absolutely fantastic to see the Lebanese Internal Security Forces getting a real flavour for anti-poaching work too! Excellent cooperation developing, we tip our hats and more on that very soon! 👌
