UPDATE (29th Oct): Having attended a police station this morning, statements have now been taken by police regarding yesterday’s incident and enquiries will be made as to the identities of the perpetrators. Outpaced are assisting us with following up on the handling of incidents such as this, although a police officer this morning did apologise as an individual for not realising the severity of the situation yesterday evening

———————————–

We attended the North Cotswold Hunt’s newcomers’ meet this morning with hounds running around Ryefield Farm in Wormington once again (which still has an unresolved bTB breakdown) and several foxes chased plus badger sett blocking has begun again.

When the hunt packed up, we went to find the Croome and West Warwickshire Hunt who were holding their opening meet not far away. There was little action for the most part while we were around but the hunt stayed inland as much as possible and we had basically no interaction with hunt staff. At the end of the meet we dropped one of our guys off at his car to head home but as he drove down the road, drunk hunt supporters threw a heavy boulder at his windscreen. He managed to swerve and the boulder broke a back window.

So yet another 999 call went in to police…

Sab: ‘a hunt supporter has just thrown a boulder at my car as I was driving which has smashed through the window’

Call handler: ‘oh, the hunt wouldn’t do something like that… they’re really well mannered’

Many thanks West Mercia police… perhaps your total lack of action is the reason you’re not trusted by the general public?

Full report and videos of this morning’s sabbing at the North Cots to follow.
