BERKELEY HUNT BOXING DAY MEET 2024

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Good video Richard, It's nice to see everyone having a good time.

[@jonwright7394]

Fantastic to see this Richard, we can't see this in our local town anymore as the Tree-Huggers mnaged to get it banned. Yet another part of our heritage gone. I mean look at it - its as much a social event for non-riders to see each other after Christmas as anything else.

[@2626stephen]

Cracking one again Richard. Love the intro... we'll those people just need to jog on. Cracking turnout and a good show of support

[@pigtastic-wv9is]

I think you fail to realise that it is illegal: Hunting is completely Illegal under the 2004 Hunting act. "A person commits an offence if he hunts a wild mammal with a dog, unless his hunting is exempt." These people are not Exempt. Therefore the legality of the situation is Illegal Due to the fact that the dogs are encouraged to hunt and find the foxes/mammals protected under this act. "A person guilty of an offence under this Act shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale." Quotes from the official Act Document. The hounds are lead via fox urine around specifically laid trails that are often deliberately place near fox dens. People go out beforehand to block fox dens so the animals can't escape back inside. Sounds the dogs are trained on are used by the Huntsmen to call the hounds to search for or chase the foxes. The Hounds and horses are often kept in bad conditions that usually violate the Animal welfare act of 2006. If a hound can't hunt, or gets old/ injured then hunts men have been filmed and recorded shooting their 'useless' Hounds. hopefully now you can be accepted into yr1

@funkyfarmer - can you block this PigTastic person as I didn't any of what they were talking about in your video.

[@robert22801]

If sir Nigel gets back in power with money from Musk!!!! I hope he backs the farmers in the uk and keeps loyal to the countryside..

[@Murphycats]

I'm so glad you share this each year. It's a beautiful mix of tradition, handsome livery, beautiful horses but no cruelty! I hope that after circling the town that they go ahead and have a good ride over the countryside. Lovely to see the town all come out and enjoy this tradition.

[@pigtastic-wv9is]

no cruelty? here's an interesting fact, >1% of hunts actually lay trails. wonder what that points to?

[@KeithTwyford]

Brilliant video Richard proper community spirit long may it continue.

I love horses.

[@trevorsidley7697]

!00% with you Richard. My family kept chickens so I know a bit about how Foxes behave. We had to do an English assignment at Primary School and present it to the class - I chose mine supporting Hunting - It got the best support of all (by the whole class). I'm sure you know that a contraction of "Berkley Hunt" is "Berk" - "Berkley Hunt" is also Cockney Rhyming Slang for C**t. A very apt description for our communist leader who wants to ban any form of Countryside Community activity including Meets like this.

It’s the people who live in towns and cities that don’t like what happens out in the countryside Richard, but like yourself I was brought up in the countryside and the Curre hunt pack do the same thing yet they were basically banned from going anywhere over small holdings ground over here in Monmouthshire.

[@paulf2529]

I live and work in the countryside and shoot, in my teens I worked on a farm. I personally don't support hunting and I resent being branded a vegan, I'm certainly a carnivore!

[@joannaquarton2366]

Oh, richard, that was amazing to watch. What a wonderful event and the support from all those people 👏 thank you for showing us this amazing show it gave me goose pimples 👍👏👏

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Nice show, Richard. I was wondering what the mustard coloured jackets were in aid of, but you got the explanation for that. Whatever anyone else thinks, people who have had their chickens or geese killed by a fox, would not be against hunting. It's part of the English tradition and there is nothing more picturesque than a hunt in full flow, galloping across the fields. It must be remembered that a fox kills for pleasure. Not because it's hungry. Farmers suffer from TB because we're not allowed to cull badgers. I'll probably get a hundred comments condemning me, but some things have to be said.

​@victoriaskuse118 A number of hunts have been proven to not follow a drag scent and repeatedly do so. This is evidenced by prosecutions. The hunt really don't do themselves any favours and nor do vegan comments etc. Personally I live and work in the countryside and shoot so am no vegan incomer.
