What better way to hunt Britain's fastest land mammal than on foot with small hounds? Yet that's what beagle and basset packs do. Fortunately, sabs are also ready to stop them whenever they can. Gizzie spoke with a member of Severn Vale Hunt Saboteurs about hare hunting on foot and what sabbing it looks like today. And there's a brief interlude about so-called 'trap hares'. - A PDF of John Phibbs's Field Sports and Brownian Design can be found here: https://scumremover.files.wordpress.com/2022/06/field-sports-and-brownian-design.pdf - Check out Severn Vale Hunt Saboteurs on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SevernValeSabs/ Closing song is "The Hare's Lament" by Susan McKeown.

Helping a fox, hare or deer cover their scent is one of the most basic methods of sabotaging hunting. But there is some skill in choosing when and where to use it. So Gizzie Rascal spoke with former HSA tactics officer Colin Skilton about how to effectively use citronella, both as a pre- and post-spray. There is also a bit of history on the term 'red herring'. - Tactics section of the HSA website: https://www.huntsabs.org.uk/tactics/hsa-tactics/ - Wordhistories.net article on the term red herring: https://wordhistories.net/2017/07/06/red-herring-origin/ Featured image is by Shropshire Hunt Saboteurs.

Puffer was attacked by badger baiters while trying to defend a sett in April 2021. He was left nearly for dead, but clambered back to life and lived to tell the tale. https://scumremover.wordpress.com/2021/10/31/episode-37-attacked-by-badger-baiters/

Something a little different. A mixtape filled with folk punk, protest folk and a couple of sea shanties for good measures. Stitched together with samples from across the board to brighten up those long rides home after a hard day in the fields.

Lancashire Hunt Sabs tackle some of the most difficult sabbing terrain in this country. However, the hills and fells of the Lake District aren't all negative: they also offer a number of tactical advantages to sabs.

Melbourne sabs were one of the first groups this podcast spoke to, way back in 2018. A lot has happened since then. Gizzie Rascal caught up with the group to learn more about how things have changed, progressed and gone horribly right or wrong. At the time of recording, Australia's hunting season was about to begin; at the time of publishing, the coronavirus pandemic has put a stop to all such activities. The immediatre future of hunting in the country - as in the UK - is uncertain. But this episode should nonetheless be an interesting listen. - Melbourne Hunt Saboteurs Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MelbourneHuntSabs/ Opening song is "Baptism" by Crystal Castles.
