The article discusses the evolving landscape of foxhunting in the UK, highlighting how both hunters and saboteurs are using drone technology in their efforts. Since the legal ban on foxhunting in 2005, tensions have escalated, leading to violence. Drones are becoming critical tools for wildlife protectors, allowing them to monitor hunts and their treatment of animals from a distance. The situation took a turn when allegations arose that hunters were using drones to sabotage recordings made by saboteurs, marking a new phase in this ongoing conflict over animal rights and hunting legality.
The battle to uphold the legal ban on foxhunting has repeatedly led to violence since the activity was outlawed in 2005, making drone surveillance increasingly necessary.
Using their own drone, Wiltshire saboteurs captured video of a hunters' drone with vertical weighted wire attached, designed to disable another drone during foxhunting.
