Channel 4 News - Hunters chase stag on quad bikes despite ban (www.youtube.com)

Hunting stags with packs of dogs has supposedly been illegal for almost 20 years – although there are some exemptions. However – despite the ban – hunts are continuing with impunity. We’ve been sent footage of stags being chased on National Trust land involving people on quad bikes as well as horses. While on another hunt – it’s one of the hounds which appears to be at risk. There is some distressing footage in this story.

The ban isn't for them; it is for us.

We should be hunting them. After all it's all about the thrill of the chase isn't it?
