This is not tradition; this is a wildlife crime caught on camera. On January 31st, 2026, drone footage captured shocking scenes in Somerset: members of a local hunt were filmed illegally digging into an active badger sett.
They were tearing up the earth to force out a terrified fox hiding inside. Under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992, interfering with a badger sett is a serious criminal offence, yet the police have not yet made arrests despite the video evidence.
We cannot let them get away with it. Rich or poor, the law applies to everyone. If a teenager did this, they would be arrested. When a hunt does it, it is often ignored. We demand justice.
We call on the Avon and Somerset Police to immediately charge the Huntsman and the terrier men identified in the footage. Enforce the ban. Protect our wildlife.
