Forced to keep faces hidden

The East Kent Hunt Saboteurs Association say their members face abuse and intimidation from hunt members and have been on the receiving end of violence so are forced to conceal their identities.

They claimed that there was no evidence of trail laying on the day and that hounds are still killing foxes “by accident” so they are there to ensure the foxes remain protected and will only ever use non-violent means to achieve their aims.

The law banning fox hunting was enforced from February 2005.

A police spokesman said no arrests were made.
