How trail hunting was suspended – Under the noses of real rural groups that work, tend and make a living from the land, animal rights groups set up their traditional command pyramid structure under the auspices of a charity called the Wildlife and Countryside Link, from now on known as the link charity. That Dominic Dyer, formerly of the Badger Trust and now of the Born Free Foundation (BFF), with links to Carrie Symonds, Zac Goldsmith and Boris Johnson is a trustee and yet went under the radar for most countryside groups is a cause for concern.

Command – The purpose of the command is to bring left wing organisations and NGOs together as one, but appear to the public and parliamentarians as separate entities. They can now be directed at a campaign and appear as many, this is a trait of the left, they are always seeking ways to show a majority in their favour. The League Against Cruel Sports have around 4,000 members but claim support from 50 million people, the attempts to show a majority in their favour can get absurd but when it’s the only argument they have left, it will always do.
Equally important is the need to show a majority of charities/NGOs in your favour as another attack – Animal welfare friendly credentials are important for a parliamentarian to hold and need to be on public display. They will be lobbied by several organisations for example – ADI, RSPCA and Born Free Foundation mounted a combined attack against the circus industry. The circus industry were alone and their conflicting peer reviewed scientific evidence from world renowned experts that smashed the emotive non-science based tosh from the animal rights groups was drowned out and ignored. The parliamentarian will naturally move to the majority and often claim they have majority support from the NGOs and charities.
This also had the added benefit in campaigning through news article, they have a good chance they will be quoted at least by 2:1 and using emotive language will dominate articles read by the public.
In the case of suspending trail hunting on land owned by big corporations and charities the same rule applies. Arrange for many to agree the suspension while not making public the fact they are all connected via a link charity.
Active members – In the case of the link charity they have 57 members who collectively employ over 11,000 full-time staff and have the help of 174,000 volunteers and the support of over 8 million people in the UK. Members include
- The National Trust
- League Against Cruel Sports
- Badger Trust
- Wild Justice
- RSPCA
- RSPB
- Wild Justice
- Born Free Foundation
Underneath the members come the active supporters and celebrities, people like Chris Packham with huge social media followings. He is a key member of Wild Justice and avid supporter of the League Against Cruel Sports. Both these groups are part of the link charity. We reveal later how Packham knew which landowners to approach when calling for the suspension of hunting after the webinars.
Surprisingly, the National Trust are members of the link charity and address Chris Packham personally on social media.
The public are in the dark, they are given the impression the National Trust are separate and being good guys by giving way to celebrity conservationist Packham’s demands. In reality they are all under the same banner of the link charity and it was likely this has all been meticulously planned.
The same then goes for Dominic Dyer, at the time he was still at the Badger Trust, and receives a personal notification from the National Trust once again giving the public following him on social media the impression he is acting solely for the Badger Trust, and the National Trust are kindly meeting his demands. No surprise to find the Badger Trust are also members of the link charity, and remember Dominic is a trustee.
The National Trust were not the only landowners to allow trail hunting on their land and then very publicly for press purposes suspend the activity without the outcome of the investigation or any court action being known. Guilty until proven innocent!
Chris Packham once again knew exactly who to ask publicly on social media to suspend trail hunting, and as each landowner capitulated this gave way to yet another news story either locally and nationally piling on additional pressure to the hunting authorities.
By no strange coincidence all those suspending hunting are all linked to members of the link charity.
The following went onto suspend hunting on their land
- Forestry England
- New Forest Crown National Park
- Lake District National Park
- Natural Resources Wales
- United Utilities
It appears to have been meticulously planned for maximum press coverage and damage, and all those suspending hunting are linked to members of the link charity.
The Campaign for National Parks. They campaign on behalf of all of the National parks that includes New Forest Crown and Lake District National Park. These two national parks suspended hunting.
Next up is Forestry England they suspended hunting, they also conveniently carry the FSC registered mark of the Forestry Stewardship Council, and they’re listed as members.
And last but not least our final member of the link charity is Waterwise, they describe themselves as a UK NGO focused on reducing water consumption. They too have members and affiliates and no prizes for guessing who?
This is a slightly older image and Waterwise, and the League Against Cruel Sports are not listed, however you can find them here on the latest listing:

Passive supporters – If you are a member of any of these organisations you’re classified as a passive supporter. You will be kept in the dark and fed bullshit to keep the readies flowing in. You will not have the faintest idea about what has just been written.
