Overstretched Police? 19 Police Cars Sent to Protect Baronet Sir Philip Naylor-Leyland From Fox Hunting Protesters

After picking up the hunt at their meet and greet in Castor village green, over forty sabs and five vehicles moved to surround the Fitzwilliam with their large field of riders (bolstered by pony club attendees for Christmas) as they hacked north into open farmland alongside the A47, west of Peterborough.

Sabs stayed with the hounds constantly from the off, and using classic voice distraction call and on occasion, the gizmo, the pack were not allowed to hunt at any time and only spoke briefly once.

With the hunt clearly rattled after having their showpiece Christmas meet ruined, the field of around 50 – 60 moved around searching for woods near Marholm to hold up (the Fitzwilliam don’t seem to realise that they aren’t supposed to be cubbing any more), but found sabs in front of them at every turn.

One fox was seen to safety by Norfolk/Suffolk, which hid behind haybales before making his escape quickly.

Hounds rolling on their back, horses bucking from boredom, and the master (Sir Philip Naylor Leyland, worth £175m but clearly hasn’t spent much of that on riding lessons) almost thrown from his horse at one point, this was clearly one of the Fitzwilliam’s least exciting hunting trips, and after they made a call to police to deal with the antis, they retreated and hid in nearby Milton Park.

The drama then picked up, with 19 police vehicles dashing at dangerously high speed to attend. Police were officious and antagonising to sabs and did not want to hear of any complaints of known violent supporters in attendance.

So many police cars attended in fact, that two had a collision outside the entrance to Milton Park… what a thoroughly efficient use of public resources.

Sabs covertly entered the Milton Estate and confirmed that the field were leaving the meet just before 3pm…

No wildlife harmed today, although some police officers pride may have been!

If you support the work of your local sabs, you can buy them a coffee to say thanks!
