Neighbours who persuaded the police to issue the first Asbo warning in Britain against a fox hunt, have taken their campaign to the silver screen.

Jeanne Berry and Denise Ward, who live in the Slad Valley, near Stroud, have produced a 90-minute film to be premiered at the Houses of Parliament.

The film does not focus on the rights and wrongs of hunting – but on cases of hounds killing pets and hunts trespassing on private land.

Three years ago, the friends were outraged when a local hunt entered woodland owned by Ms Berry and the hounds killed a deer there.

When the same hunt strayed on to their land – with hounds 'rampaging' over their gardens, the pair lobbied Gloucestershire police, and the nation's first Asbo letter against the hunt was issued, warning them they would be taken to court if trespass occurred again.

After that, the pair began making a film about their experience and similar cases across the country.

"Before this happened, neither of us were particularly pro or anti-hunt," said Mrs Berry. "It just struck us as outrageous hunts could seemingly go anywhere they liked with dogs out of control.

"After the story about the Asbo warning, people from all over the place got in touch to say the same thing had happened to them.

"The film is about the way hunts are out of control," she added.

Jeanne's friend Denise collected incidents and followed them up.

"I have recorded many occasions of hounds killed by cars and seen extraordinary footage of hunts causing havoc on busy main roads since the ban," she said.

"We are no longer a feudal society. The chasing and killing of animals with dogs, disruption, trespass and violent acts on private property, and dangerous intrusion on to the public highway, which are directly caused by a minority pleasure activity, cannot be justified ," she added.

A Countryside Alliance spokeswoman said: "While we are sorry Ms Berry and Ms Ward have had a negative experience with their local hunt, they will never have a positive perception on the numerous benefits hunts bring to local communities countrywide."

The film, called A Minority Pastime is being premiered next week at a special screening organised by three MPs, including Stroud MP David Drew.
