This morning The Cottesmore Hunt started their Cub hunting season. Monitored by Northants Hunt Saboteurs, Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs. Cub hunting is illegal. Cub hunting often started before the hunting season started and was used to test and young hounds and give them a taste of blood by letting them hunt and kill fox cubs. Those hounds that did not perform to a standard were shot and killed. Over the years the Cottesmore Hunt has been prosecuted for various law breaking activities. They say they don't kill the foxes of cubs, if that is the case I wonder why they let the hounds as they did this morning enter a small wooded area next to the sewage works where foxes can be seen. The hounds were making a lot of noise in the wooded area for some time. Speaking to dog owners who also walk early in the morning many were scared for the safety of their dogs as a number of fat scruffy hounds run loose far away from the main pack.
