In accordance with the Hunting Act of 2005, hunting with dogs has been banned in England and Wales. However, there are still hunting groups who bend and break the law, using hounds to kill wild animals as sport. This is where the Hunt Monitors come in. Their mission is to bring the persecutors of wildlife to justice, and see that the Hunting Act is upheld.
In the harrowing video below, two members of the Hunt Monitors arrive to the scene as huntsman send a pack of hounds into the woods; a young fox is hiding from her death. Just as the dogs are seconds from mauling the innocent fox, the Hunt Monitor does the unthinkable.
By the time the woman reaches the inevitable carnage, the fox is helpless on her back with her stomach exposed. Without any regard for her own personal safety, our brave Hunt Monitor dives into the dog pack and reaches in to grab the fox. Screaming, she rushes away with the traumatized animal cradled in her arms. Her colleague films everything and calls for help. You can see one of the vicious hunters following the rescue group before the daring duo drives off.
Thanks to the Hunt Monitors, the fox has no serious injuries. She's been transferred to a rehabilitation area where she'll be safe from the hunt.
