Redgum Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Forgive me if this is being covered somewhere else on this forum but just have to vent my anger on the badger brigade antis and that grey haired old fool who play's the guitar who's revving them up. I read in my local paper this evening ( I'm in the middle of a designated cull area ) that info had been leaked from defra or Natural England to the antis of cull organisers address and phone numbers. Poor farmers, just trying to follow a legalised cull operation and now they are being hounded by every idiot that has access to a computer and likes badgers. NFU have offered the victims support in media handling and IT security. Anti groups have threatened to patrol farmland and carry out ' citizen arrests ' on anyone attempting to shoot badgers, the hysteria is growing. Anybody who lamps rabbits or fox's in Gloucestershire better take a few mates with em when this all starts off. As FAC holders we have to turn the other cheek and be polite and curtious to anyone who crosses us in the field and this bunch of idiots are enciting riots and bullying the countryside folk. What can we do, we cannot respond with the same aggression and violence otherwise good bye FAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I trust the police will investigate the leak with the utmost vigour and prosecute the individual responsible with the full force of the law............However, I'm not holding my breath. Unfortunately this was bound to happen, no doubt a ministry employee doing his bit for the badgers !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 By stating they are going to apply' citizen arrests' to people carrying out a legal operation with centrefires is surely an act of enciting violence in itself. Will be inviting a few Millwall supporters down for a bit of free rabbit lamping later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Unfortunately leaks of information of farms where badger culls were to take place and details of the shooters involved in the culls was always a big risk as these tree huggers live and work in all walks of life. Surely if these idiots are planning on going on private land and farms where they have no legal right to be then it amounts to trespassing and as Redgum has said attempting a "Citizens Arrest" with people going about their lawful business is harrassment and could be seen as "Enticing Voilence"! Whoever "leaked" this information to LACS or whatever "organisation" is threatening this action should face the full force of the law, but I somehow doubt that they will ever be traced or prosecuted!

happypig Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 A complaint to information commissioner about the leak perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
