Charlie Ford, huntsman of the Devon & Somerset Bassets, was found guilty of a Hunting Act offence at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 18 June 2026.

This is the first time a basset pack has been convicted under the Hunting Act.

The offence occurred on the 13th of October 2024 at Mullins Farm in Bagber. North Dorset Hunt Sabs received a tip-off that a hunt was in progress and attended with Wildlife Crime Action monitors. The sab filmed the basset pack hunting a hare, with footage being supplied to the police. Ford was fined just £648 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £259 and court costs of £650.

We are very pleased to announce that Lynn Sawyer will be our second speaker at this year's National Animal Rights March. Given her approach to the animal rights cause we just know you're going to love what she has to say.

Lynn became a  vegan animal rights activist in 1994. She had been a  vegetarian for 2 years prior after a misspent youth working on farms and being a hunt supporter. She has done lots of types of activism, from street stalls, to demos, to direct actions. Whilst heavily involved in the SHAC campaign she was seriously injured after being pulled from a tripod on the A1. She is currently a dedicated hunt saboteur sabbing both illegal hunting and  the badger cull.

Hunters are allowed to kill 75 wolves from an endangered population of 460. On one hunt that the Guardian joined, they went home empty-handed
