Hunt Scum and Murder

Shaol|n | 17.09.2004 22:09 | Animal Liberation

Violent Hunt Scum have got away with Murder! not only the murder of wildlife, but of people like me and you ...

Tom Worby

April 3rd 1993 fifteen-year-old schoolboy Tom Worby was killed by Cambridgeshire FH huntsman Tony Ball as he drove his horse box over the youngster who had been protesting against the hunt. Tom's jacket snagged on the wing mirror of Ball's vehicle as he forced the group with Tom to scatter to the side of the road.

Tom managed to get a foothold on the vehicle's running board & banged on the window for the driver to stop, he didn't. Tom lost his grip & fell to the ground & under the truck, his head was crushed under the rear wheels. He died shortly afterwards. No action was taken against the 53-year-old driver.

Mike Hill

Hunt Saboteur, Mike Hill, was killed on the 9th of February 1991 at a meet of the Cheshire Beagles.

Towards the end of the day's hunting, with no kill under his belt, the huntsman boxed up his hounds in a small blue trailer being towed by an open-top pick-up truck. The kennel huntsman, Alan Summersgill, with another man, jumped into the pick-up and, on impulse, three sabs who were nearby, jumped onto the back of it to prevent them driving the pack to another location to continue hunting.

Summersgill drove off at high speeds down winding country roads for 5 miles with the terrified sabs clinging onto the back. It is thought that Mike, jumped from the pick-up as it slowed to take a bend. He failed to clear the truck properly, and was caught between the truck and the trailer, which crushed him. Mike died where he lay on the road.

Despite the thud, and the screams of the other sabs, Summersgill continued driving for a further mile. The truck only came to a halt when one of the sabs smashed the rear window of the cab.

The sab was hit with a whip as he tried to stop the truck. Once it had stopped one sab ran back to Mike's prone body while the other ran to a nearby house to call for an ambulance. Summersgill drove off.

He later handed himself in at a police station. No charges were brought against him and in a travesty of justice, a verdict of 'Accidental Death' was brought at the inquest.

Summersgill is still hunting hares.
