A Hunt terrier-man given an £80 fixed penalty by Sussex police for abusive behaviour.
Jeremy Charman, a hunt terrier-man of the notorious Crawley and Horsham hunt based in Sussex was handed the fine by police after throwing a dead rabbit at hunt monitors in November 2007.
Hunt monitors attending the hunt near Shipley, West Sussex were followed by "hunt stewards" to a veteranary practice when they found a rabbit suffering from myxamatosis. In an attempt to mock this humanitarian assistance for a sick animal, Charman shouted, "Try to revive this fucker" before being filmed throwing a dead rabbit at monitors,
In November 2006 Charman was videoed digging into a badger sett at the Heaselands estate, West Sussex after the Crawley and Horsham hunt had chased a fox to ground. As a result, Sussex police have issued new guidelines to police and are determined not to allow hunts to dig out badger setts in future. See new badger sett guidelines.
