sash 2 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Police Help Hunt Dig Badger Sett Terriermen of the Surrey Union Hunt dug out and killed a fox which had sought refuge in active badger sett with the help of the police. Police officers from as far afield as Staines, Addlestone and Camberley ringed the badger sett whilst the terriermen dug down to the terrified fox. Police even arrested six anti hunt protesters who had been protecting the badger sett and stop the hunt from illegally digging the fox out of the sett Solicitors for the defence then engaged the services of one of the UK's leading badger experts, Professor Stephen Harris of Bristol University, who confirmed that the site dug by the hunt was an active badger sett. Digging a badger sett to get to a fox was made illegal in 1992 with the introduction of the Badgers' Act. Consequently the law on Aggravated Trespass should not have been used because any intended interference would have applied to an unlawful act. i found this on diggingout.org (this is an anti hunt site) its not my words i think its one nil to us, dont you?

spade 224 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Good off the boys in blue to lend a hand, however I think 1-0 is a bit of an underestimate. Nearer 100-0 i think. KEEP HUNTING!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
