About this listen

Did you know that there are people who still think it's ok to set a pack of dogs on a wild animal, chase it for hours and then gleefully watch it being torn apart? That they do it for FUN?

Did you know that illegal foxhunting is prolific? Did you know that there are around 200 fox hunts in this country, all masquerading as noble, worthy organisations?

Action Against Foxhunting's job is to expose the brutal cruelty of hunts and their efforts to evade the law. We also want to help others become active the the fight to end this outdated activity.

Starting with "Hello from Action Against Foxhunting", listen to our podcasts and find out what it's like to become an activist, what happens on a fox hunt, and how to object to a hunt Boxing Day meet in your town. We also show you how much we care for our members and what we do to support them in this difficult and upsetting mission.

Our podcasts are short (about 20 mins).

Anyone can join AAF - and it's free - all you need is a passion to protect animals from harm, some guts and a considerable amount of determination.

  • "The Hunt Meet is Not Welcome in Tiverton on Boxing Day, or Any Other Day"
    Nov 19 2025

    Councillor Chris Berry of Local Independents for Tiverton joins Pip to talk about the Town Council’s landmark decision to tell the hunt they are not welcome in Tiverton — on Boxing Day or any other day. They also dive into “salmonella-gate” and the hunt’s bizarre attempt to sue Berry for collecting a sample of their salmonella-ridden hound poo at last year's Boxing Day Meet.

    Excitingly, Chris Packham provided a statement to back up the motion:

    "Do you want the disgraceful spectacle of ethically and morally bankrupt sociopathic savages from a bygone age besmirching the reputation of your town at a time when we are all trying to celebrate life? Fox hunting is a redundant, illegal and vile anathema which has no place in a world in the grip of the catastrophic loss of wildlife. Please put an end to this horrific spectacle, which seeks to normalise and legitimise cruelty and suffering. And if it does go ahead, please do let me know when you next organise a witch burning in the town square."

    Mr Packham sounds angry in his statement - and we all are angry. Why is this still happening in 2025? Want to kick out a hunt from your town? Contact AAF, and we can help.

  • Emma Slawinski, CEO of the League Against Cruel Sports, talks to AAF.
    Aug 20 2025

    The Hunting Act is on the verge of being strengthened — and this time, we want the ban to be a real one. Together, AAF, the HSA, Protect the Wild, and of course, the League Against Cruel Sports, must unite to get this over the line.

    Holly Piper talks to Emma Slawinski, the new CEO of the League Against Cruel Sports. Emma is the right person in the right role. She is already working hard to push new hunting legislation forward. At the same time, the League continues to tackle shooting, greyhound racing, and dog fighting, while also confronting emerging forms of animal abuse — some of which (horrifically) take place online.

    Ways of getting involved:

    Pip also discusses stag hunting and how banning trail hunting won't help the stags. For more information on this, check out Action Against Staghunting:

  • INTRODUCTION TO ACTION AGAINST FOXHUNTING
    Jan 8 2025

    Action Against Foxhunting is a national campaign group dedicated to ending fox hunting forever. We've been around for six years, and things have changed so much in that time. Six years ago, you couldn't mention fox hunting in the streets in case you caused a rumpus. These days, it's a common topic of conversation.

    We are seeing the end of hunting. But it isn't over yet. We have work to do, and we need as many people as possible to do it.

    Have a listen to this podcast and find out what you can do to help us reach the finish line. Pip Donovan explains how easy it all is.

    Be part of it. Join Action Against Foxhunting and get active.
