It was alleged that Mr. Knight, a cruelty caseworker, had attempted to remove these rabbits which ended up in a stand-off between Mr. Knight and the breeders’ son. It was also alleged that Mr. Knight had told the breeder that he had the legal authority to remove animals from the property based on what he had seen.
Valerie Peña, press officer for the Animal Defence Society, said: “The Animal Defence Society is a peaceful and lawful organisation. We have not attempted to illegally remove any animals from a premises in Sompting, West Sussex. I also wish to make it clear that we would never try to mislead anyone.
“We would only act without the owners permission only if an animal is suffering in a dire emergency. We remain committed to holding individuals and businesses accountable for breaches of animal welfare legislation.”
All press enquiries should be directed to: Valerie Peña – 07414 008719
