Hunt Sabs Get Sabbed

[altjaeger]

Here’s a brief run-down of the following article: A member of a hunt had a lame horse or something and so was following behind the hunt on a bicycle. At one point he road down the center of a country lane, slowly, thus preventing all the sabs from keeping up with the hunt. At this point, a 23 yo female sab caught up with him and assaulted him, as the photos show. She then posted all about it on her Face Book page.

I hope this “Foxy Lady” is charged for her crime: :mad:

Daily Mail article

My favorite reader comment:

You got to laugh. Sad mares like her waste their lives following the drag hunts in case they go after a fox. where as I am paid to shoot foxes averaging 60 a week. My biggest customer, the county council, second biggest, the MOD (Ministry of Defense). Your tax money in action. The hunts did it for free, I charge a minimum of £27.50 per fox.

So odd all the way around.

I hope Jilly Cooper is keeping tabs on that. Totally sounds like something she’d write.

I dunno if that would be a good topic for a novel. It just has no legs to stand on as far as a plot or dramatic happenings go. You have two completely opposing sides with no middle-ground and no potential for compromise. It’s like turning Pong into a feature film.

Movie Hero’s

<<She is one of the Guildford Hunt Saboteurs ‘Whippet Squad’ – two girls who, because of their speed, run with the hunt, monitor it with video cameras and ‘do what we can to protect foxes’.>>

Nah, any pair that can, “because of their speed, run with the hunt, monitor it with video cameras and ‘do what we can to protect foxes’” shall surely be cast as super heros in a movie.

Devo’s “Whip It” shall be the recurring theme song thru out. The lyrics & whip snap shall be used & punned ad nauseum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8K4vj1Eijc

Seriously, run with the hunt? Okay, I’m impressed with their sheer speed. :yes:

Wonder if they would like to try their hand at keeping up with the local greyhound packs ranchers send out after coyotes? Hope they are good at long open stretches & vaulting barbed wire fences. She can just cartwheel right on over! If they fail, will it mean they get hung from the fences like the dead coyotes?

No matter what their opposing viewpoints what she did was assault plain and simple and I hope she gets arrested for it. These activists who think it’s ok to assault people and destroy property should be prosecuted to full extent of the law.

This could be the start of a new trend. Each hunt could have some non-riding members obstruct the sabs, generally getting in their faces, and preventing the sabs from keeping up with the hunts.
