Well the news is beginning to come in thick and fast. Of course one bit of news (old news) is the postponement of the badger cull. A wonderful chance to show the government that they cannot fly in the face of overwhelming support and scientific evidence for the badger cause.
However, some of the 'same old' news is coming from the hunting field....below is a cut and paste from the hunt saboteurs association http://hsa.enviroweb.org/ :
Hunt supporter Arrested after assault on Hunt Saboteurs
The Southdown and Eridge fox hunt held its opening meet of the season at Firle, near Lewes east Sussex, today. It was clear from the start that they intend to carry on their practice of flaunting the hunting ban and launching organised attacks against any who oppose them.
Slightly east of the meet the huntsman put up a fox and was encouraging the hounds onto the scent. Before sabs were able to intervene they were subject to an unprovoked attacked by around 10 hunt supporters, the very same men who had been the perpetrators of similar attacks in the past two seasons. The attack left three hunt saboteurs with head wounds and severe bruising which resulted in hospitalisation and stitches. Their attackers also stole a video camera and glasses. Following these attacks the sabs were ridden at by members of the hunt, driven at by a car follower and then assaulted by the ‘hunt stewards’ while attempting to seek medical treatment. The police were called but said they could not take any action until statements had been taken.
The remaining sabs soon located the hunt on the South Downs, a national park, with the huntsman off his horse clearly hunting. Before video evidence could be gathered they were surrounded by four quad bikes carrying the same men who had carried out the earlier assault, and attacked again. The police were once again called and eventually arrested one hunt supporter.
Lee Moon, spokesperson for the Hunt Saboteurs Association, stated: “We are pleased that the police eventually arrested one hunt supporter however they should have acted decisively much earlier in the day. The South Down and Eridge should have realised by now that violence doesn't deter our members and in fact only makes them more determined to thwart their illegal activities.”
Just the usual! Here we are, 8 seasons after the ban was first voted in and STILL the evil scum bags are hunting without a care in the world. The Southdown and Eridge foxhunt were NOT following any kind of trail, RAN from monitors/sabs, have hunt STEWARDS in attendance, put up a FOX and ACTIVELY HUNTED it and the huntsman was seen later on OFF HIS HORSE ACTIVELY HUNTING.
The sabs and monitors were attacked, had items stolen and then subjected to further attacks as well as continual aggressive behaviour from the hunt filth. The police - oh sorry did I say the police I meant THE JOKES in uniform have once again showed the hunting fraternity that this kind of behaviour is completely acceptable with them.
The cuntryside alliance have once again dived for cover in releasing a press release that the 'men' involved with the attacks had nothing to do with the hunt - even though they have been attacking sabs and monitors at the same hunt for the past two seasons!
That statement shows a couple of things really, the cuntryside wankers are quick to drop their followers completely in the shit no matter what (we all remember the covert meetings the CA had with government selling out hare and mink hunting to save fox hunting) and once AGAIN the CA are having to state the line "the attackers had nothing to do with ..... hunt" - they have had to make that statement a number of times before and I dare say they will need to trot that bullshit out a few more times before the season is overwith. Shouldn't the fuckers from the CA be asking "why is it that anti-hunting people are being attacked regularly when attending hunts?", they should be but we all know that they are not! They will most probably be rejoicing at the thought of antis getting a good thumping for stopping their beloved paedophilic sport and then only diving for cover when on the VERY FEW occasions, the police act within the law and help the very people who are trying the help UPHOLD THE LAW.
So the new start to the fox hunting season....let's hope that the pathetic bastard police get off their sorry asses and DO THEIR JOB and also lets hope that the hunt sabs and monitors get many convictions through the courts and stay safe in doing it.
For the hunted animal and the LAW (ban)
