Wow. That’s sure taught him a lesson. I’m sure he’ll never do it again after having to cough up a whopping £656.
​
And this is why the fox hunting ban is an absolute farce. The fines are pocket change to the small-willied toffs who enjoy doing it.

Bang the prick in jail for 10 years.
for ensuring illegal fox hunting is covered by main stream news.
As much as I despise fox hunting. I don’t feel particularly comfortable with the fact the police were able to seize his phone and read all his messages. Especially for something that (based on the fine he received) is presumably not seen as a serious crime.
We can debate whether such cruelty to wild animals should be a more serious crime, but for now… What if that’s extended to other allegations of minor crimes?
***”The huntsman was fined £656.”***
This is literally NOTHING if they can afford to hunt foxes. It’s a drop in the ocean for these rich sociopaths. This clearly should’ve been a harsher sentence.
Ah yes. Fine him less than the cost of the booze they drank before going fox hunting. That’ll learn em.
So… He got a knighthood and a pat on the back I guess?
A pretty tokenistic conviction when it comes to fox-hunting. You can bet there will still be a hunt this weekend where no one will get even a fine, despite sabs collecting plenty of evidence to aid in prosecutions.
They’re all bloody doing it.
We need zero-tolerance laws that take away dogs from hunters and stop them getting more.
Every hunt is the country is still hunting with dogs.
