The forgotten Foxhounds Animation

why we made the animation
Following our eye-opening undercover investigation alongside the Hunt Investigation Team, which revealed the Duke of Beaufort Hunt's appalling act of shooting their hounds dead, we've been contemplating ways to raise awareness about this distressing practice.
Initially, we encountered significant hurdles battling against social media algorithms. The graphic nature of the footage led Facebook and Twitter to severely restrict the reach of the original content showcasing the hound shootings.
This is where our animation, titled 'The Forgotten Foxhounds'. steps in. Now, we have a significant opportunity to present these scenes to a much larger audience and shed light on how hunts mistreat their hounds when they believe they're unobserved.
Our poignant 90-second animation sheds light on the tragic fate of a foxhound named 'Scamp,' revealing the distressing reality of hound abuse by hunts across the UK.
The animation, based on the true story of 'Scamp' witnessed by undercover investigators, illustrates the heart-wrenching incident where Scamp was fatally shot by the Beaufort Hunt.
His only crime? Merely displaying an eagerness to play and no longer being deemed useful by the hunt.
Our aim with 'The Forgotten Foxhounds' is to expose the disturbingly common practice of hound abuse and killing by hunts throughout the UK. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a pervasive issue that demands public attention.
