Hunt saboteurs' car 'rammed' by 4x4
Not a Land Rover but hardly paints 4x4 owners in a good light

I've seen sabs in action at hunting and shooting events. Clad in balaclavas, shouting foul mouthed abuse in the face of people (usually the ladies). This is not from a distance - they push their faces to within inches of their victim. They are usually videoing the confrontation, hoping to provoke a reaction. Looks like they got their reaction in this instance although I wouldn't put it past them to stage it.

I am not in favour of fox hunting but the action of sabs I have seen could turn me into a supporter of legal hunting.

maybe the sabs should visit the halal meet outlets where they don't bother to stun the cattle first?

and before someone asks where that came from / where the connection is.....

to my mind both are cruel.

only one has been going on here for hundreds of years and the other is a new idea here which I personally disapprove of.
the sabs should direct their actions in a more useful direction.

a bit like murderers. rather than going round killing innocent people perhaps they should target only those that don't benefit society Very Happy

About 4 years ago I was targeted by a gang of saboteurs in four vehicles. I had been out in a remote part of North Yorkshire in a 90 taking photo's of a heritage railway and driving out of a valley when I was blocked in by four vehicles containing both male and females some of whom were armed with pick axe handles. After taking photo's of the vehicles and occupants I used the bull bar on the front to threaten them and the vehicles which made them scatter. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Ramming hippy students off the road. The hunt lackeys are so brave.

Their masters must be very proud of them.

We've even had sabs turn up at our local bloodhound meeting. There is absolutely no cruelty involved with hunting with bloodhounds, the worst thing is when the hounds catch their quarry they tend to lick it to death.

The sabs are more interested in turning it into a class war than a fight against animal cruelty. As Caterham says why don't they concentrate on supermarkets who sell halal meat, far more cruelty there than the odd fox that gets caught up accidentally with foxhounds.

The sabs must be kicking themselves after getting their hunting bill through parliament with the help of Tony Blair (wasn't he the guy who lied about weapons of mass destruction and then conned the parliament into going to war?), as there are more people hunting today than ever before. Defender 90XS SW

Fox hunting is in my eyes totally cruel and unnecessary, as well as being illegal, but hunt sabs to seem to be a special branch of nutters more along the lines of PETA, rather than any genuine organisation trying to help animal welfare.

Spot on again Caterham.

The little Lefties attack an old British cultural tradition whilst "forgetting" an equally cruel immigrant cultural tradition.

And it's strange how Mr Blair left the keeping of thousands of racing pigeons in cages completely alone, whilst having a go at the "nobs".

The keeping of reptiles and Primates as "pets" was not banned.

The ban was nothing to do with "cruelty".


As for the precious "conscience" of the hunt sabs.

They leave their comfy city homes, walk past the heroin addicts, crack whores, shop doorway alcoholics and drug dealing gangs, to get in their cars, come down to the countryside and tell us what we are doing wrong! Shocked

I would have thought that they have more pressing concerns on their own doorstep.

Hunt sabs are not heroes. They are just another set of bigots in balaclavas.


I don't hunt. Never have. Never will. I don't even think it is the most elevating of human past-times.

However, compared to almost everything else that humans do, it is possibly the least environmentally damaging and most sustainable activity (for both predator and prey species) that we do.


It is part of my English rural culture, right or wrong.

Stand on my side of the hedge, and see what I see......

I don't agree with hunting at all its far to cruel and there is a lot better ways to get rid of foxes and badgers I understand tb is a big issue for farmers and the badger has a lot of the blame . I don't accept a animal ripped apart is acceptable . but no way would I agree with saboteurs

Caterham / Slidey = why do you pick on halal slaughter when kosher slaughter involves the same process?

Dog fighting, badger baiting, cock fighting, hare coursing, fox hunting...sadly there will always be odious types who partake in these illegal activities and those who support or excuse their behaviour.

However life is too short to worry about their sort. I’m more concerned with making my TDCI produce more power without destroying the new engine.

Oh and a year without a breakdown would be nice too.

because I've never heard of it. Very Happy

but as slidey has stated why the Fock don't they go do something useful. why not go looking for fockers that are evading the tax system for example which in turns focks the country over.
we appear to be having to spend more money on stuff then we ever had to. I could give you numerous examples but this one I find an incredible waste of money. cul-de-sac near me have within a very short distance of the entrance has a house either side of the road, each with a drop curb to the driveways. the cul-de-sac only has about 6 houses so very little traffic. the cul-de-sac has been there circa 30 years and all appears to have been fine. the other week it took numerous days to install new drop curbs with tactile surfaces for the blind! never seen any blind people walking the streets round here so I'm a little dumb struck at the f'ing waste of money associated with this little number.

so the way I see it outgings are increasing and there appears to be an increase in those avoiding paying tax. I'm not just referring to those who seem to monopolise cash rich jobs but also those that seem to think setting up a business knowing they're going to close it with a loss and then do the same again!! Evil or Very Mad
plus why do jails need to be so cosy?

back to the sabs - so far as I'm concerned the 4x4 geeza should rammed them a lot harder for getting in the way Very Happy
