The clues that our team were on a footpath, while twice being accused of trespassing, are there if you look carefully...

The hunt and their rather pathetic field of about 15 riders (who had been wandering around aimlessly, trying to find the hounds) packed up, looking dejected, before 11am.

Shropshire Wildlife Monitors @shropswildmons.bsky.social · 23d

At least one fox was helped to safety by our volunteers, and officers from West Mercia Police attended in response to calls from locals angry about and distressed by the hunt.

Paul Davis took the time to accuse some of our teams of trespassing on public footpaths and bridleways, which is an interesting take on the law... 🤔

We found them there shortly before 8am, and kept on top of them through the morning as they put their hounds into coverts and coppices with no pretence of following a trail, and hunted over land between Ford Heath and Onslow.

Multiple teams of monitors in several vehicles, on foot and piloting drones kept the Shropshire Hunt on their toes today, after concerned local residents tipped us off about them meeting up at Far Broadway Farm near Shoot Hill, west of Shrewsbury.

***HUNT ALERT***

Shropshire Hunt at Far Broadway Farm, Ford Heath near Yockleton now. SJ 40594 11643

Please call 999 if you see any illegal activity. Video of safe to do so.

Historically they used to advertise that it was the hunt hosting these fun rides but nowadays they keep this fact quiet as they know the general population do not like them and do not wish to support them.

Shropshire Wildlife Monitors @shropswildmons.bsky.social · 24d

Are you unwittingly supporting criminal activities?

Most hunts don't have the financial punch they once did. In order to keep themselves afloat they need different fundraising ideas and a fun ride is one of these.
