- No Land, No Hunt
No Land, No Hunt explores the crucial role that landowners and farmers play in enabling hunting. Pip and Dr Lynne Graham discuss land access, the different attitudes towards hunting in rural communities, and how building positive relationships with landowners could help challenge hunting and reduce the land available to hunts.

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER26 min - "The Hunt Meet is Not Welcome in Tiverton on Boxing Day, or Any Other Day"
Councillor Chris Berry of Local Independents for Tiverton joins Pip to talk about the Town Council’s landmark decision to tell the hunt they are not welcome in Tiverton — on Boxing Day or any other day. They also dive into “salmonella-gate” and the hunt’s bizarre attempt to sue Berry for collecting a sample of their salmonella-ridden hound poo at last year's Boxing Day Meet.
Excitingly, Chris Packham provided a statement to back up the motion:
"Do you want the disgraceful spectacle of ethically and morally bankrupt sociopathic savages from a bygone age besmirching the reputation of your town at a time when we are all trying to celebrate life? Fox hunting is a redundant, illegal and vile anathema which has no place in a world in the grip of the catastrophic loss of wildlife. Please put an end to this horrific spectacle, which seeks to normalise and legitimise cruelty and suffering. And if it does go ahead, please do let me know when you next organise a witch burning in the town square."
Mr Packham sounds angry in his statement - and we all are angry. Why is this still happening in 2025? Want to kick out a hunt from your town? Contact AAF, and we can help.

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER20 min - Emma Slawinski, CEO of the League Against Cruel Sports, talks to AAF.
The Hunting Act is on the verge of being strengthened — and this time, we want the ban to be a real one. Together, AAF, the HSA, Protect the Wild, and of course, the League Against Cruel Sports, must unite to get this over the line.
Holly Piper talks to Emma Slawinski, the new CEO of the League Against Cruel Sports. Emma is the right person in the right role. She is already working hard to push new hunting legislation forward. At the same time, the League continues to tackle shooting, greyhound racing, and dog fighting, while also confronting emerging forms of animal abuse — some of which (horrifically) take place online.
Ways of getting involved:

Pip also discusses stag hunting and how banning trail hunting won't help the stags. For more information on this, check out Action Against Staghunting:

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER30 min - INTRODUCTION TO ACTION AGAINST FOXHUNTING
Action Against Foxhunting is a national campaign group dedicated to ending fox hunting forever. We've been around for six years, and things have changed so much in that time. Six years ago, you couldn't mention fox hunting in the streets in case you caused a rumpus. These days, it's a common topic of conversation.
We are seeing the end of hunting. But it isn't over yet. We have work to do, and we need as many people as possible to do it.
Have a listen to this podcast and find out what you can do to help us reach the finish line. Pip Donovan explains how easy it all is.

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER24 min - Why it's so important to be polite
I am always polite. Forthright, insistent, yes. But never rude.
Several times now, I have been forced to explain why other anti-hunt individuals have sent abuse and threats to people we have very good reason to believe support the hunt.
This has to stop.
This AAF Podcast is the shortest ever - only a few seconds. Please have a listen, and if you have sent abuse or threats to anyone, have a re-think. Don't do it.
Quite apart from anything else, it turns the hunters into victims.
And we don't want that.

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER2 min - Simon Russell, chair of the Hunt Saboteurs Association
What is hunt sabotage all about? Why are hunts still being sabbed, when fox hunting is illegal? How did Simon get involved in the first place?
Sixty years ago, the HSA began, and even then, fox hunting was a minority pastime, heavily criticised for its obvious cruelty. For more than forty of those years, Simon was personally involved, and now, as the chair of the HSA, he speaks candidly to AAF about his journey, where the HSA is now and where it is going.

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER35 min - Human(e) Hunting - Hunting the Clean Boot
"We don't train hounds what to hunt. We only train them what NOT to hunt."
Involving horses, hounds, riders and a HUMAN quarry, Clean Boot Hunting is the way forward. Jeremy Whaley, Master of the South Downs Bloodhounds, takes us on a journey through a day's Clean Boot Hunting, explaining how his bloodhounds are trained to chase human quarries, and nothing else. Jeremy's enthusiasm for the sport is so infectious, that interviewer Holly Piper offers to become a quarry herself.
But are the bloodhounds happy? What do they get out of it? We learn that too.

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER42 min - Rob Pownall from Protect the Wild talks about how it all started
While the rest of us were just making angry comments on Social Media expressing our revulsion for hunting with dogs, Rob Pownall was taking action. Sometimes it just takes one person to get things going.
Protect the Wild is a dynamic, ever changing organisation, with the same aim as Action Against Foxhunting - to end hunting for ever. Rob was 16 when he founded Keep the Ban (now Protect the Wild - PTW), and just starting out. PTW and AAF (founded by the newly-retired Pip - other end of the scale!) have worked together on several projects and hope to work together on many more.
How did it all happen? Listen to Rob chatting to Holly Piper and Pip Donovan.

Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER30 min - Interested in AAF Outreach? Find out more...
The last thing the hunts want, is to see AAF Activists talking to passers-by in the streets about fox hunting. They prefer it if we all just avoid the subject and not mention the cruel pursuit and grisly deaths of our wildlife, at the hands of the 300 or so fox hunts (pretending to be "trail hunts") in England and Wales.
Outreach isn't difficult. Outreach is fun and one of the most satisfying things anyone can do with their time.
But HOW?? HOW can YOU do outreach? We have all the resources, advice and support you need.
Aly Rogers and Pip Donovan talk to Holly Piper about AAF Outreach.Find out more here:
