Tiverton Foxhounds cubbing at Higher Pirzwell, 4.9.2017

Another cubbing meet sabbed: this time it was the turn of the Tiverton Foxhounds, who met at Higher Pirzwell north of Kentisbeare. We joined North Cambs Hunt Sabs, Sheffield Hunt Saboteurs and Somerset Hunt Saboteur Group to keep an eye on them as they drew maize fields and valleys between the meet and Blackborough House. No sign of a trail being laid at any point. Tempers flared at the end, as a Tiverton terrier man assaulted several sabs on a public road outside the meet. It’s fair to say they were rattled.

For the past few years Devon’s hunts have been getting an easy ride during the cubbing season as sabs were preoccupied with the badger cull. However, this year we’ve been getting regular tip-offs and with new cull zones popping up all over Devon, sabs are also increasingly bumping into the hunts whilst they’re out doing other things. With the help of other sab groups that are down here for the cull we are able to sab more cubbing meets. So please keep sending in relevant intel!
