England fullback’s brother helps murder a beautiful stag

Charles Alston of J Alston & Sons in Silfield (Wymondham) thinks murdering a beautiful stag is something to be proud of. He’s even done it with a suppressor on his rifle so as not to alert the local newbuild estate. And it seems Harry Steward, brother of England fullback Freddie Steward, helped him out.More

Roaming Stag May Be Dangerous!

Another story from the history of the Norwich Staghounds that won’t make the final cut of our longer article. In October 1954, newspapers reported that several people had seen a stag roaming the streets of Earlham, Norwich. This included a police officer who “took hasty evasive action” as the stag appeared before him while cycling.…More

Belated month of fundraising post!

July is our month of fundraising. We want to focus on a single month so that we’re not asking for money throughout the year, and also so that we’re freed up to concentrate on direct action during the sabbing season. This month we have: Thank you so much to everyone that has helped us. With…More

Help us! We’re fundraising!

We need a group vehicle. Rather than endless pleas through the season, though, we’re focusing all our efforts on the month of July. It’s easier for everyone that way.

South Norfolk Hunt Saboteurs

In a move that will interest and excite absolutely no-one, we’ve now changed into our final form – South Norfolk Hunt Saboteurs. It was always intended to be our name, but the Waveney Harriers Hunt Sabs name was a joke that got out of hand. Only the name has changed, however, as we’re still here…More

Dunston Harriers walk free from court

Master Geoffrey Block, former staff huntsman Josh Worthington-Hayes and whipper-in Lewis Ryland walked free from court on 23rd March. Not surprising, but disappointing. More details at Protect the Wild’s court report.More

Dunston Harriers get away with it

Great Yarmouth magistrates today found three people from the Dunston Harriers not guilty of illegally hunting a hare at Fersfield in January last year. Video filmed by Norfolk and Suffolk Against Live Quarry Hunting was the primary evidence, the video of which can be seen on Norfolk/Suffolk Hunt Saboteurs‘ page. Unsurprising result, sadly, but one…More
