What is hunt sabotage all about? Why are hunts still being sabbed, when fox hunting is illegal? How did Simon get involved in the first place?
Sixty years ago, the HSA began, and even then, fox hunting was a minority pastime, heavily criticised for its obvious cruelty. For more than forty of those years, Simon was personally involved, and now, as the chair of the HSA, he speaks candidly to AAF about his journey, where the HSA is now and where it is going.

"We don't train hounds what to hunt. We only train them what NOT to hunt."
Involving horses, hounds, riders and a HUMAN quarry, Clean Boot Hunting is the way forward. Jeremy Whaley, Master of the South Downs Bloodhounds, takes us on a journey through a day's Clean Boot Hunting, explaining how his bloodhounds are trained to chase human quarries, and nothing else. Jeremy's enthusiasm for the sport is so infectious, that interviewer Holly Piper offers to become a quarry herself.
But are the bloodhounds happy? What do they get out of it? We learn that too.

While the rest of us were just making angry comments on Social Media expressing our revulsion for hunting with dogs, Rob Pownall was taking action. Sometimes it just takes one person to get things going.
Protect the Wild is a dynamic, ever changing organisation, with the same aim as Action Against Foxhunting - to end hunting for ever. Rob was 16 when he founded Keep the Ban (now Protect the Wild - PTW), and just starting out. PTW and AAF (founded by the newly-retired Pip - other end of the scale!) have worked together on several projects and hope to work together on many more.
How did it all happen? Listen to Rob chatting to Holly Piper and Pip Donovan.

The last thing the hunts want, is to see AAF Activists talking to passers-by in the streets about fox hunting. They prefer it if we all just avoid the subject and not mention the cruel pursuit and grisly deaths of our wildlife, at the hands of the 300 or so fox hunts (pretending to be "trail hunts") in England and Wales.
Outreach isn't difficult. Outreach is fun and one of the most satisfying things anyone can do with their time.
But HOW?? HOW can YOU do outreach? We have all the resources, advice and support you need.
Aly Rogers and Pip Donovan talk to Holly Piper about AAF Outreach.Find out more here:

After receiving multiple reports of anti-social behaviour by the Warwickshire Hunt, not to mention over 52 reports of very dangerous behaviour on the roads, the Warwickshire Rural Crime Team issued a Community Protection Notice (CPN) to the Warwickshire Hunt. The CPN was intended to force the Hunt to behave safely on the roads, respect landowners who did not want them on their land, and obey the law (like everyone else). Did it work? No, it didn't. In a private meeting between the Hunt and an unnamed senior police officer, the CPN was dropped at the 11th hour and replaced by a secret "protocol" or a "gentleman's agreement" between the Hunt and Warwickshire Police.
The community it was meant to protect was outraged. Anti hunt organisations were outraged. Why was it dropped, we asked? Why is it secret, we asked?
AAF Midlands teamed up with West Midlands Hunt Sabs to campaign against this astonishing decision.
Blodwyn Lea, Dr Denise Taylor and Dave from the West Midlands Hunt Sabs talk to Holly Piper about what happened, and what we are going to do about it.

Smartly dressed people, gleaming horses, thirty friendly dogs, displaying themselves in front of Town Halls and parading through public streets to rapturous applause from hunt support - this is a Boxing Day Meet.
Boxing Day meets are charades. Hunts want everyone to think they are valued community organisations, engaged in legitimate and worthy activities. But, are they?
If they were, would they just turn up in town centres without permissions? Would they fail to consider the risks to the public by staging a high-risk equine event without any safety checks? Would they wilfully and illegally block the roads with no road closures? Would they collect money without a licence? Would they illegally and dangerously direct traffic?
Unlike the rest of us, hunts will not behave properly, even when it comes to their Boxing Day events and until recently, no one has challenged them.
Phil Gadd and Pip Donovan - veteran Boxing Day campaigners - talk to Holly Piper about Boxing Day meets, what they are and how to stop them.

We already know that hunts pursue and kill foxes. We know that the law is meant to protect them, but doesn't. But what about the hunt itself? Why do hunters do it? What exactly DO they do?
Lynn Sawyer used to be a hunter. But, thirty years ago, she realised how cruel it was. Not only did she stop, but she became a hunt saboteur too.
Lynn talks to Holly Piper, giving us a clear and troubling insight into the minds of fox hunters and tells us how difficult it was for her to break away from her upbringing and social circle, and move into ours.

Most of us know that wildlife suffers when the hunts are out. But what about the hounds? Are they ok?
Warmth, love, even veterinary treatment - these things (and food) are the bare minimum most owners give to their dog. Hunts don't think like us though. They are a traditional bunch. They do things in the same old ways and waste no time or money on anything they would consider irrelevant to hunting.
Find out how hunt dogs are bred, how they live and how they are taught to pursue and kill wildlife.

Animal Rights Activists are, by nature, sensitive people. We are compelled to take action against animal abuse; we can't live with ourselves otherwise. We cannot turn away from the brutal savagery of the hunters and the suffering of the animals. We have to be there, see it, and take action.
But this comes at a cost to us. Sometimes it is overwhelming and that's when we need a bit of help from our friends.
Sarah Little talks about Our Space, a support group she set up for AAF members. It is a place for members chat with each other to vent our own suffering and explore ways of coping.
