If (legitimate) trail hunting involves laying a scent then what's the difference between it and drag hunting? I'm not asking in connection to the op's post. I'm just wondering about the differences.Oh not this one A-gain! Done to death in the hunting section of the forum. The article is misleading.
It talks several times of sabbing of drag hunts and bloodhound hunts. I've never known this happen though I've drag hunted extensively and bloodhounded a little. I have only heard of anecdotes decades of years old and plainly mistakes. It says Google it if you don't believe it happens. I have and there is no record of any sabbing of drag or bloodhounds that I can find.
It barely mentions that the main reason that 'legal' trail hunts are being sabbed is because some are openly hunting fox and others are deliberately laying trails that are so weak that they can then have a proper hunt when the hounds 'accidentally' pick up fox instead of the laid scent, which is technically legal.
So, not very informative after all, sorry.
Have a look at the 3 Counties Bloodhounds: they were harassed in a very nasty fashion last year !

Plenty consider the 'horse and dog abuse' to be sufficient reason to sab regardless of quarry.
Most of the info I see rocks around facebook so no it won't necessarily come up on google but google doesn't know everything
.......... but google doesn't know everything
Sorry - I can't find the news article now re: Three Counties Bloodhounds I know it happened as it was reported in one of the local papers. Frustrating.The only thing I can find online about sabs and the Three Counties Bloodhounds is this, a report of when they were incurred to be the quarry for a day.

I agree that a lot of sab activity is unacceptable, and if illegal should be prosecuted.
TBF it says to google it, they should probably change thatOh ester, that's like telling a child that Santa doesn't exist no telling what harm you could do to a dedicated Googler

This forum is the only place I know where anyone thinks it's clever to ridicule others for trying to educate themselves.
If you look at the Facebook page 'Hunting for Truth' they have a lot of the footage of sabs being idiots and dangerous, but as you said it doesn't come up on Google so you need to find them on Facebook usually. But there is lots of them and they are undeniable.
Seems to be the theme for most of the internet now unfortunately. Which is why people only ever see one side of anything, because they don't feel the need to learn unfortunately, to fact check etc

i am not on either side but why are large groups of masked people allowed to harass and frighten people and mistreat their animals.....these so called animal lovers are just looking for a fight, the same as certain groups who cause problems at football matches.....by all means protest if you dont agree with fox hunting but to grab the reins of a horse and jab it in the mouth or to spray pepper into hounds eyes is not the action of an animal lover....IMO,,,,,[/QUOTE. AKA ‘rent-a-mob’. Anarchists, saddos, life’s dropouts, far-right brigade, they all seem to enjoy violently harassing people.
