A pub has pulled out of hosting a Boxing Day hunt after it became the focus of a storm on social media.
The Boxing Day meet of the South Shropshire Hunt is an annual tradition going back many yearsThe pub initially announced it was hosting the event, with a spokesman saying:"We are delighted to share with you that this Boxing Day, South Shropshire Hunt will be holding their meet here at The Raven Inn. We shall be opening our doors at 10.30am. We would love it if you could join us."
The South Shropshire Hunt said it was disappointed with the decision, which it blamed on protesters who were not local to Shropshire. Last month, South Shropshire's huntmaster Daniel Cherriman was fined £607 at Telford Magistrates Court after failing to call off dogs when they disturbed a fox while on a trail hunt. The hunt took place on National Trust land in the Long Mynd area of Church Stretton on November 29 last year.
