Edward Alexander Hemingway (29 April 1902 – 2 May 1963) was a British journalist, animal welfare activist and opponent of hunting.

[7] In total, he stated that the League had purchased around 200 acres of land on Exmoor near Dunster to stop hunting.

[8] In 1959, it was reported that Hemingway and the League were using a "secret system" which was sent to him by a Scottish estate worker to confuse stag hunters from finding deer where they were expected.

[11] In August 1957, the Committee employed a retired undercover detective inspector to follow various deer hunts in the west of England.

[12][13] Hemingway commented that "the records of his investigation portray scenes more reminiscent of a lynching than the end of a well-conducted sport".

[15] In 1927, it was alleged that Ernest C. Rawle a farmer from Bossington assaulted Hemingway in a refreshment tent at Stoke Pero Races by holding his throat and pushing him to the ground.

[18] The defendants admitted to throwing Hemingway into the sea but the charge of assault was dismissed as there was lack of evidence for maliciously causing grievous bodily harm or "intent to disable".

The defendants thanked Hemingway for asking the court to withdraw the case, apologized for their poor conduct and offered to pay his costs and expenses.
