FOX RESCUED FROM THE SNAPPING JAWS OF HOUNDS
23 November 2012
DRAMATIC RESCUE CAPTURED ON FILM – A young vixen owes her life to the quick thinking and courage of a hunt monitor who literally dived in and grabbed her from amongst the hounds that were just about to maul her to death …
The young woman was out monitoring the Old Berks Fox Hounds who met at Elmwood House, Black Bourton in Oxfordshire. Not long after the hunt moved off, the Huntsman sent the hound pack into woodland and thick undergrowth.
The hounds found the fox in scrub next to large slurry tanks on the edge of a farm.
Fortunately for the fox, her “guardian angel” was only feet away. With no thought for her own safety, the monitor shouted at the hounds as they closed in on the fox, and running forward, was able to snatch the terrified animal. She then scooped her up, away from amongst the hounds, which would in moments have undoubtedly torn the young animal to pieces. The fox had already been bowled over onto her back, leaving her stomach exposed.
Despite having been bitten by the terrified fox, the monitor hurried the traumatised animal away, cradled in her arms, whilst her colleague, who filmed the whole incident, called for help.
Being followed by a Hunt participant, they reached a fellow monitor’s car and the fox was then driven away to safety. She was checked for injuries, and thanks to the monitor’s lightning reactions, was found to have no serious bites.
The fox has now been rehabilitated into an area where she will be safe from the hunt.

From the Daily Mirror in Britain:
Fox hunters slammed for letting little girl watch hounds savage bloodied corpses of dead cubs
22:53, 6 Nov 2015
By Ben Glaze
The girl, aged around six, was with 14 men who flung the lifeless cubs to a pack of 30 hounds in a hunt training exercise
A small girl looks on as a pack of hunt hounds swarm around the bloodied bodies of two fox cubs.
The shocking footage, captured by anti-hunt campaigners, shows the child – aged around six – waving her arms as the bloodthirsty pack mills about the lifeless young animals.
The fox cubs, whose corpses are hidden from view in the footage, had been thrown to the 30-strong pack moments earlier, already dead.
Wearing pink wellington boots, a white-and-pink top and blue jeans, the little girl can be seen dancing around the dogs, then backing away.
As she does so, 14 grown-ups stand by watching the fired-up hounds, tails wagging with delight, being directed by their handlers.
Animal rights activists tonight condemned the group for letting a youngster view the distressing sight.
Tom Quinn, campaigns director of the League Against Cruel Sports, asked: “What kind of people are so unashamedly happy to parade their cruelty in front of a child?”
He added: “The majority in the UK are strongly against hunting. This is its dark reality.
“We’re sure they’ll be shocked and disgusted to see a little girl being brought along to witness this barbarism.”
Animal welfare campaigners passed the video to the Mirror after seeing the youngster appear alongside the adults for the dawn “training” rite.
In the one minute, 45 second film, recorded in the mid-Devon countryside, the girl can be seen glancing up at the group of gilet-clad adults observing the hounds.
The foxes were thrown to the pack already dead in what is thought to be part of a training process.
In the footage, a middle-aged man perches on a red quad bike, while a silver 4×4 stands parked at an open gate.
The video begins with the girl, her hair tied back in a pony tail, crouching to the ground then popping up, scratching her head, looking to the adults and folding her arms across her chest.
She then turns back to look at the dogs before one fox corpse is picked up from the ground.
The second animal’s lifeless body is also retrieved, and a kennel worker carries both across the freshly harvested field to sling them into a box on the rear of the quad bike.
The horrific scenes unfolded near the village of Nymet Rowland, with dogs from the nearby 217-year-old Eggesford Kennels.
The kennels describe the land as “good hunting country”, extending 19 miles east to west and some 20 miles north to south.
An undercover investigator from the League Against Cruel Sports, who shot the footage from a public right of way, said: “It’s likely the cubs were dug out of their den and shot by the hunt’s terrierman.” …
A botched effort to relax anti-hunt laws forced Prime Minister David Cameron into a climbdown in July.
A commenter on the Daily Mirror site writes:
If a six-year-old had been taken to a dogfight on a working-class housing estate then they would be called straight away and the parents would be fully investigated.
I call upon Child Protection to make sure that this is done.
