Scorched earth, charred gorse and dead trees: some of the impacts of recent moorland burning (‘swaling’) on Dartmoor. This is on Spitchwick Commons near Poundsgate. It’s legal but ecologically crackers: the gorse is a nursery for trees that eventually shade out the scrub, but now the trees are dead.

‘A new phase’: why climate activists are turning to sabotage instead of protest Tougher laws said to be inspiring clandestine attacks on the ‘property and machinery’ of the fossil fuel economy

Extreme prison sentences for peaceful protest do not work as a deterrent.

Damien Gayle (Guardian) explores the reasons for rising unaccountable acts of sabotage against deadly industries - and is told by those activists that unjust laws are a driving factor.

Petition: Ban all forms of hunting and introduce harsher penalties We think we need a total ban on all forms of hunting. We also think we need harsher penalties for those who are found guilty of illegal hunting.

Hunting still happens, and penalties aren’t enough. Demand a total ban and harsher consequences for illegal hunts.

This is what’s really going on. All the time. We’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg

In March 2023 Sabs made a shocking discovery – a fox buried alive underground in a sack . It’s the focus of day 6 of my (b)advent counting down the top 20 worst fox hunting crimes with @huntsabs.bsky.social . . .

#RealBanNow

An appalling crime. Hunt terriermen buried a fox alive to be dug out later and hunted. The vile barbarity of it. Police should be routinely searching the quad bikes of all terriermen at hunts

There are amber weather warnings for tomorrow (Saturday), with some parts of Devon even falling within the red warning area. Nevertheless, we know from previous storms that hunts will still be going out to satisfy their bloodlust, putting their animals at risk.

Despite the atrocious weather, no doubt some hunts will still force their horses and hounds to go out in pursuit of wildlife tomorrow.

Hunt Saboteurs will be there to make sure they don't have an easy time of it.

Good luck to all groups battling the storm to protect wildlife.

Fiery coat amongst fiery foliage . A tricky one today . Thank you

A couple of dedicated Sabs have spoken to the BBC about how the Hunting Act is not for for purpose, and how we need @uklabour.bsky.social to follow through with their promise to ban trail hunting.
