[Mister Rog]

I do not approve of fox hunting with dogs, but if I had been the horse rider I would have whipped him as well

I suspect a PR job here. Only at the very end did he attempt to get away

WHIPPED

[Lizzie Zoom]

Yep, from what I saw the horse rider was defending herself, so it was "in self defence m'lord"

[Sir Tigger KC]

No issues with that at all.  The dickhead deserved it for trying to grab the horses bridle, which could have spooked the horse and thrown the rider.

In many ways its just a pity the horse didn't kick him to death.

Either of my mother's heavy hunters would have, and probably done so gleefully.

Not something you hear every day.

Talk about the landed gentry.

If only! I come from one long line of farmers and another long line of miners, or the peasantry as you would know them

Nothing wrong with being a  member of the proletariat Jimmy.

Not quite the same but has an animal in it.

I hope they get the blokes and push them over a cliff with a stick.

Bloody right,shame the rider didn't have a bigger whip

I’m not reading it. I see no point in upsetting myself by being reminded of how evil some people are. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

[scimmy_man]

This was local to me saturday, the locals are getting angry, they were blocking the roads to stop the sabs getting past, then this,

Poking animals with sharp implements and then subjecting them to a violent death. I'm surprised anyone in Spain is bothered, this sort of thing is in their culture surely? Other than, in this incident no one sold popcorn or tickets.

While I agree that this chap deserved a good thrashing, I’m not against hunt saboteurs per se. Hunting with dogs has no place in today’s society. Most people are appalled at hare coursing and I see no difference.

It is in the culture, Spain after all has bull fighting. In the last ten years we have seen a big change but it tends to be led by urban areas. Old countryside habits die hard. I struggle to deal with the stuff i encounter on a regular basis.

Quite right and hunting with dogs is illegal, drag hunting though is legal and these saboteurs are harassing folk carrying out a legal pastime. 

I've always thought it's more about bashing the 'toffs' than animal rights, which is wrong as well, because people from all walks of life belong to their local hunt.    I suspect that most of these 'sabs' are fully paid up members of Momentum.

Quite right, it was when Blair fought so hard for it, and it still is today.  I know a number of people who "hunt" to this day, none of them are toffs, or what most would describe as wealthy. Ultimately, regardless of status or class, people should be allowed to engage in a legal pastime (largely on private land) without being harassed by masked yobs.
