There are many roles for enthusiastic and passionate individuals within the Devon County Hunt Saboteurs team.
All roles are voluntary and can fit around your life. However we do expect a strong commitment to the mission and team.
We require people with:
- A passion for and commitment to animal rights
- A strong team centric outlook
- A willingness to listen and learn
- Adaptability and creativity
- Unique skills and experience to strengthen the team
We value reliability above all. Sabbing requires commitment & dedication. Skills can be learnt, but in order to make a difference we need to be present.
If you are racist, fascist, homophobic or sexist and in favour of any form of oppression we suggest you’ll be more at home among the hunt.

Foot Sab
The core of the Devon County team. Foot sabs are at the heart of the action.
You should be:
- Happy to get up early and arrive home late, often on weekends
- Reasonably fit – Stamina over a long day is more important than anything
- Able to think and act quickly & calmly in difficult & hostile situations
- Comfortable navigating or a willingness to learn map-reading skills – We use phone-based maps for reliability, but old-school paper map reading skills are still useful
- Able to use a handheld video camera effectively – We provide all the necessary kit and training but prior experience is always useful
Driver & Navigator
Vehicles enable us to find & keep up with the hunt.
Drivers are essential members of the team.
Navigators assist the driver in reaching destinations, filming & operating radios, among other tasks.
To drive you should:
- Hold a clean driving license held for 5 or more years
- Be comfortable driving larger off-road type vehicles
- Have experience driving and maneuvering on rural roads, or be willing to learn quickly
To navigate you should:
- Possess strong navigation skills

Intelligence
Keeping an eye on the hunts and their followers provides vital intelligence, allowing us to target our resources efficiently & effectively.

Fund Raiser
Sabbing hunts costs money. Vehicles need repairing, equipment needs replacing and fuel is expensive. Central to this is our ability to fund raise. Even if you are not physically able to pursue a hunt you can still make a vital contribution to the team.
You should be:
- Comfortable talking to strangers
- Able to reason with potentially hostile (pro-hunt) members of the public
- Able to lift & carry
