I\u2019m against animal cruelty and stuff like fox hunts are just awful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Big up to all the women in animal rights campaigning and activism<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/InternationalWomensDay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#InternationalWomensDay<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hbm70sTG7m\">pic.twitter.com\/hbm70sTG7m<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Sheffield Hunt Saboteurs (@SheffHuntSabs) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SheffHuntSabs\/status\/1633563564265930752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 8, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> \n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple decided to organise this event after ITV published videos they described as \u2018vile\u2019 with foxes being shown torn apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rose went on to say; \u201cWe both have a passion for rock music and a love for the protection of all animals. The government is involved in all that goes on with the hunting and they know they can get away with it. It has now become out of control.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2004 legislation was passed &#8211; Hunting Act &#8211; by the government which banned the hunting of most wild mammals notably foxes, deer, hares and mink with dogs in England and Wales.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One pest control contractor, who did not want to be named, provides private services to farmers said on the matter: \u201cThe need for predator control (shooting foxes) is a necessary measure needed for the protection of endangered ground-nesting birds, in fact the government are introducing new subsidies for its benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFoxes kill their prey the same way the dogs will kill the fox. You don\u2019t hear animal rights activists complaining about a Fox savaging an English Partridge that is in its nest!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple wanted to make it clear that it isn&#8217;t just foxes, but the badger cull explosion since 2010 has also exploded in shocking numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Robinson also said; \u201cThe use of drones is making it harder for the saboteurs to prevent the hunts from happening. A lot of people don\u2019t know that this still goes on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is hoped the event will bring to light the pressing issue facing UK wildlife and the donations given will go to organisations preventing these hunts from happening more in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheffieldhuntsabs.com\/\">HOME | Sheffield Hunt Sabs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Sheffield couple are planning to host a charity rock festival to raise awareness for fox hunting in the region.
