SAB ATTACKED BY BADGER BAITERS

Last night one of our sabs disturbed a group of Badger baiters in the Little Lever area of Bolton.

He was out checking on a badger sett that he visits often and came across a group of 5 people with 2 dogs in the act of digging out the sett.

Despite being alone he bravely confronted the men to prevent them from killing any badgers. These cowardly thugs then proceeded to beat him unconscious and leave him for dead.



Thankfully once he regained consciousness he was able to make it back to the road and call for help.

As you can see from the images, his injuries are very serious. He needed 42 stitches in his head, and will need plastic surgery on his ear.


Badger baiters are notoriously violent, they really are the lowest of the low. We don't know how anyone could derive pleasure from inflicting so much pain and suffering on animals like that.

We would also like to thank the local people that rushed out in the middle of the night to make sure our sab was looked after.



To say we are angry would be an understatement, but we are incredibly proud of the bravery shown by our sab last night. Thanks to him the baiters abandoned their plans and fled the area.

This sett will be watched closely from now on

We are fundraising to help him buy some additional bodycams etc for when he's checking setts and to help cover any loss of earnings whilst he is off work for hospital visits.

This fundraiser was set up by fellow hunt saboteur Alec Holland, from Manchester Hunt Sabs. The funds will be withdrawn to his personal account - and then given to the injured victim.
