Fear and Favour - Warwickshire Police and the Warwickshire Hunt

After receiving multiple reports of anti-social behaviour by the Warwickshire Hunt, not to mention over 52 reports of very dangerous behaviour on the roads, the Warwickshire Rural Crime Team issued a Community Protection Notice (CPN) to the Warwickshire Hunt. The CPN was intended to force the Hunt to behave safely on the roads, respect landowners who did not want them on their land, and obey the law (like everyone else).  Did it work? No, it didn't.  In a private meeting between the Hunt and an unnamed senior police officer, the CPN was dropped at the 11th hour and replaced by a secret "protocol" or a "gentleman's agreement" between the Hunt and Warwickshire Police.The community it was meant to protect was outraged. Anti hunt organisations were outraged. Why was it dropped, we asked? Why is it secret, we asked? AAF Midlands teamed up with West Midlands Hunt Sabs to campaign against this astonishing decision. Blodwyn Lea, Dr Denise Taylor and Dave from the West Midlands Hunt Sabs talk to Holly Piper about what happened, and what we are going to do about it.If you'd like to get involved, click here and contact us https://www.actionagainstfoxhunting.org/aaf-midlands/For more details about how to report hunt  road chaos anywhere in the country, click herehttps://www.actionagainstfoxhunting.org/hunt-road-chaoswww.actionagainstfoxhunting.orginfo@actionagainstfoxhunting.orgwww.facebook.com/ACTIONAGAINSTFOXHUNTINGIf you'd like to join AAF, please fill in our Volunteer Enquiry form on our website.Action Against Foxhunting - ENDING FOXHUNTING FOREVER
