Terrier men and woman of the Surrey Union Foxhunt try to hide their shame at being caught red-handed digging out a frightened fox

General chaos but safety for the fox as hunt sabs occupy the holes of the fox earth

Mark Sprake, Jt Master and (very) amateur huntsman orders surrey police to throw the sabs off and let him bravely dig out the savage fox

"Not today Mr Sprake, you will be accompanying me at her majesty's pleasure - ie. You're nicked my son!"

And the brave huntsman is led away to a nice cosy cell!
