HUNT SAB Meaning and
Definition
-
Hunt sab, short for "hunt saboteur," refers to an individual or a group of people involved in the practice of "sabbing" or sabotaging activities related to traditional country fox hunting, hare coursing, or other forms of organized hunting.
Hunt sabs are typically animal rights activists who oppose the perceived cruelty and blood sport associated with these hunting practices. They engage in direct action and intervention techniques aimed at disrupting the hunt and preventing the killing or capturing of animals.
Their methods include using horns or whistles to simulate the sound of a hunting horn, yelling and shouting to disturb the pack of hunting dogs, laying false trails to confuse the hounds, running across the path of the chase to create obstacles, and forming human chains to physically obstruct the progress of hunters on horseback or on foot.
Hunt sabs often wear distinctive clothing or accessories such as armbands, caps, or badges to identify themselves to fellow activists, supporters, or law enforcement authorities. They may also employ video or photographic documentation to record potential illegal activities or acts of cruelty committed during hunts.
Although the term "hunt saboteur" can have negative connotations for those in favor of hunting, hunt sabs consider their actions as standing up against the perceived brutality and exploitation of animals, working towards the abolition or reform of hunting practices.

Etymology of HUNT SAB
The term "hunt sab" is derived from the combination of "hunt" and "sab". "Hunt" refers to the activity of pursuing game animals, especially with the use of hounds, such as in fox hunting. On the other hand, "sab" is an abbreviation of "saboteur".
The word "saboteur" has its origins in the French word "saboter", which means to "kick with wooden shoes" or "to work badly". During the Industrial Revolution in France, workers who were protesting against poor working conditions would often throw their wooden shoes, known as sabots, into the machines to damage them and disrupt production.
In the context of hunting, "hunt sabs" refer to individuals who engage in direct action or tactics to disrupt or sabotage hunts.
