A quick report from Glouces­ter­shire and Cotswold hunt sabs from the fields on the last Sat­ur­day before the end of the Pheas­ant shoot­ing sea­son.

On our last walk­ing expe­di­tion through the beau­ti­ful Cotswold two weeks ago our small group of four came into some trou­ble with some of the secu­ri­ty from the Brimps­field park estate our small group of four were pushed around and shoved until we left the pub­lic foot­path which was clear­ly marked on the map. Appar­ent­ly it is fine to assault those who use a pub­lic right of way in the coun­try­side if shoot­ers are hav­ing a fun day’s mas­sacre. The atti­tude of those who pro­vide secu­ri­ty for the Brimps­field Park shoot­ing is far from legal, they open­ly admit on cam­era they know where we live and will be pay­ing us a vis­it, the shoot­ers have ON cam­era refused to break gun, leav­ing activists with tem­po­rary deaf­ness as cham­bers are emp­tied with­in inch­es of the heads of the sabs.

Sat­ur­day 31st Jan saw two land rovers packed with sabs stop five shoot­ers dur­ing a rough shoot in the Cotswolds, after decid­ing to move onto a dri­ven shoot in the area our land rovers were stopped by around 10 police vehi­cles and the while the dri­vers were being ques­tioned by police all sabs went for a nice walk along the foot­paths for a stroll. Unfor­tu­nate­ly although the dri­vers and vehi­cles were released by police they were fol­lowed by the yokels who pulled in front of the vehi­cles and called the police where two activists were arrest­ed for an appar­ent Aggra­vat­ed tres­pass and Sec­tion 5 Pub­lic order for caus­ing some­one to be harassed alarmed and dis­tressed.

One of the beat­ers made a state­ment say­ing that the two (one male, one female) had already been told to leave the land for three months by the police back in Novem­ber, and that they had caused him to feel alarmed, harassed or dis­tressed. They prob­a­bly can’t decide which of those three things they are as they are still look­ing in the “word meanins book” (dic­tio­nary) so they can check the def­i­n­i­tions.

Need­less to say, we will be back for the new sea­son and will con­tin­ue to fight these ani­mal abusers in our area until every last gun is silenced. Whilst prepar­ing for the new sea­son we will be out with our oth­er local fox hunts help­ing to pro­tect our wildlife.
