Sickening footage of South Durham Huntsman Richard Smith hitting a poor horse on the head as the hunt master Rob Wilkinson seemingly finds it all rather amusing.

Today we joined our friends @humaneworlduk.bsky.social in Parliament at their powerful exhibition of photographs that demonstrate the depths of cruelty inflicted upon defenceless animals by callous trophy hunters. The message to Government was loud and clear: Together, let’s #GetTheBanDone.

Brilliant to join our friends Humane World for Animals, formerly HSI International UK, to celebrate their exciting new name that puts animals at the heart of everything they do ❤️ Congratulations @humaneworlduk.bsky.social 👏🏼 @fourpawsuk.bsky.social @arthurthomas1.bsky.social
