Let the Spin Doctoring Commence

 

As Boxing Day approaches the Countryside Alliance' media machine will be gearing up to full speed for the annual pro-hunt PR event. Hunts across the country will be on their best behaviour as the media focuses on them. They will ride around for a couple of hours and everyone will talk about record numbers and repeal of the hunting act.

We are not interested in Boxing Day. We are interested in the hundreds of other hunting days each season where hunts across Britain illegally chase and kill wildlife . These are the days when the hunt saboteurs will be out in the field intervening directly to save those that the law has failed to protect.

 

Lee Moon, spokesperson for the Hunt saboteurs association, stated: “ We ask the media and the public not to be duped by the Countryside alliance and their annual PR stunt. This is not the true face of hunting. Join one of our local groups and you will see the true face of the hunting community. They routinely flout the law in their lust for blood and are violent and abusive to any who try and stop them.”

Countryside Alliance supporter assaulted a hunt saboteur

HSA news release 25th August 2006

Countryside Alliance supporter assaulted a hunt saboteur

A Countryside Alliance supporter has been convicted of attacking a hunt saboteur in clashes on the last day before hunting with dogs was banned on February last year. Farm worker, Wayne Spencer, 39, of Oakhurst Lane, Billingshurst, West Sussex, was found guilty of assaulting Simon Clear but cleared of actual bodily harm. The incident happened after the final meet of Chiddingfold, Leconfield and Cowdray Hunt at Petworth Park, West Sussex.

A judge fined Spencer £400 with £700 costs at Lewes Crown Court on Friday 25th Aug. 06. He was cleared of unlawfully wounding another protester, Carol Tibbets. The anti hunt victims of the assault believe the very poor presentation of evidence (including sub-standard copying of video material by police) was behind Spencer's acquittal on the more serious charges.
