ATHERSTONE HUNT DIRECTOR ATTACKS FEMALE SABOTEURPlease Share.Atherstone Hunt – Saturday 11th Feb 2017 – Shackerstone Yesterday in a completely unprovoked attack a female saboteur was hit over the head with a riding crop by a member of the Atherstone Hunt. Body camera footage from another saboteur shows the female saboteur leaning over a wall with her head in her hands whilst a rider next to her quickly lifts his riding crop up and moves away. The rider in question is Pete Taroni who is on the board of directors of the Atherstone hunt. After trying to back his horse into the saboteurs he then attacked when they were walking away from him. The whole incident was also filmed by Joint Master of the hunt Sarah Evans, in fact she can be heard on the footage confirming several times that she is filming “That camera would have filmed that” “Yes absolutely” “your turning it off” “its on, its on”The female saboteur was immediately taken to hospital to get her injuries treated, at the hospital she had to have the split in her head glued back together. The incident was witnessed by an independent member of the public who was out walking at the time.Later that day when confronted about what he had done Taroni then starts spitting at another saboteur and uses homophobic language. Leicestershire Police seized several riding crops and a man was arrested and taken into custody in relation to the incident. The body camera footage from Sarah Evans was not taken, we hope she will cooperate fully with the police in handing it over. This is yet another attack by the Atherstone Hunt on a female and comes only weeks after one of their supporters was given a conditional caution for his sexist language. Sexism and misogyny seem to be a deeply rooted problem at the Atherstone Hunt and the wider hunting community in general. From the followers and supporters all the way up to the hunts directors there seems to be a real bigotry and hatred towards women.
