"He just went mental. First he was throwing a bucket full of liquid at us and then he started attacking us. He even drove after us to smash the back window of the car" Hunt saboteur.
Four women protesting against the Crawley and Horsham Hunt in West Sussex were seriously injured last weekend (8th Jan) after a hunt supporter attacked them with a wooden pole. The attack is the latest of numerous violent assaults against hunt saboteurs.
On new year's day a 9 week pregnant saboteur was taken to hospital after she was whipped by a rider and ridden over. Two days later another saboteur was awoken by an explosion to find his diesel van engulfed in flames.
In december last year in Essex a saboteur was ridden over by a hunt supporter, sustaining an injury to her back, whilst two sabs were arrested, reports suggest, for aggravated trespass.

A week earlier a hunt saboteur was taken to hospital after his wrist was broken in two places in an attack carried out by a terrierman with the same hunt. On this occasion the attacker was arrested.
The violence against saboteurs follows a pattern that has been evident since the outset of the current hunt season.
