The Hunt Monitors (Sabs) have scared and abused children, they are forever reporting various incidents to the police ranging from bad driving by hunt followers to allegations of violence which the police have to spend hours of what is wasted time for false accusations.
The Wildes have got justice

Legitimate country pursuits ? Please explain what these are. I have only ever witnessed foxes being chased till they just can't go on and then being ripped apart by the hounds, why do you people enjoy that so much ?. The hunt season starts 1st November so why are hunts out in September ?

Margaret, shoreham by sea , uk

September is when the hunts go out to train the hounds, this is called ' Cubbing' The fox cubs are around 5mths old and the hounds love to catch one of these. The hunts do not like the public to be aware of 'Cubbing' because it is even more disgusting than the normal fox hunting that goes on.

It is very sad that to be compassionate means being labeled a ' rural terrorist' I make no apologise for the fact that I do not like to see pain or suffering in the world, be it to human or animal. I wonder why people can be so cruel, and lie so much to hide the cruelty they are involved in.

It's quite scary to think there are people like this in our countryside. The fact they are so desperate to hide the truth speaks volumes. I'll think twice before I venture in to the countryside alone, but I suppose that's what they want us to do?

Lena, Glos,

To: Anna - you say: "Simon and Jaine Wilde, small people ... motivated by dislike for cruelty...". I agree that they are 'small people' however, since the hunt is operating within the law (and therefore no cruelty is involved), the Wildes would appear to have some other motivation.

It's about time somebody called these people what they truly are.
They are not 'animal rights activist' they are thugs who use any means possible to stop anyone who doesn't happen to agree with their belief.
In short, the definition of terrorists.

Hopefully the injungtion will not be granted so more action can be taken to stop this sick and twisted people that think mutillating animals is fun.

Tom, Twickenham,

Anna is clearly wrong in saying that the intention is for the police to restrict private individuals on public roads. The article very clearly states that the intention is to stop them trespassing on private land.

Peter, Halifax, UK

If it succeeds, hunts will continue to break the law without any scrutiny.

If the hunt has nothing to hide, why taking out an injunction?.
Many hunt followers are violent and jaine has suffered a broken nose after being thumped by a huntsman, who has violent tendencies.

So out come all the bleeding hearts in support of the poor old fox and those with nothing better to do than harass those going about their business in a legal way.

If those hunting were to harass the hunt saboteurs in the same way they have been harassed then there would have been uproar!

Robert Baggs, Calne , Wiltshire

These large landowners and their "double-barrelled" solicitors have a really hard time don't they.

Ian, Berwick, UK

Thanks for that Jane. Labelling people you disagree with as terrorists will really help.

Tim, Hunt, England

I find it staggering the lengths, financial and otherwise, that small sections of our society will go to in order to distress, harrass and hunt down a particular animal, one that most normal people are delighted to have in their midst. Find hobby please that doesn't involve terrorising animals.

D Birkby, Alton, Hants

Simon and Jaine Wilde, small people with few resources motivated by dislike for cruelty, are being pursued under anti-stalking laws which were actually intended to protect vulnerable individuals. The law seems to have been turned on its head when large organisations with vast resources can require the police to restrict private individuals on public roads.

Although their solicitor claims “It is important in this case that the claimants are not trying to stop anything that is lawful" ... it must be noted that Mr Lawson-Cruttenden's action is designed to render the Wilde's normal lawful actions "unlawful", just so that he may pursue them.

This really is a flagrant abuse of power, influence and the law.

Anna, London, UK

I sincerely hope the injunction is granted. It's about time these 'activists' - who are nothing more than rural terrorists - are put in their place and legitimate country pursuits are allowed to continue unhindered.
