Message from Protect the Wild
26th August 2025
We’ve just released a brand-new stop-motion animation, powerfully narrated by Chris Packham. The film lifts the lid on the grim practice of cubbing – also known as autumn hunting – where hunts encircle woodlands and set hounds on fox cubs, tearing them apart in order to train the dogs to kill.
Cubbing is perhaps the darkest, most secretive part of hunting – something the hunts would rather the public never knew about. That’s exactly why we’ve made this film: to show that this cruelty is happening right now, across the UK.
You can watch the animation via the link below, and it’s also live on all of Protect the Wild’s social channels – please share it with your friends and family to help shine a light on what the hunting industry tries so hard to hide.
