Hunt supporter convicted

Andrew Leaver was convicted of the Use of Threatening words or behaviour to cause harassment or distress. He received a 12 months conditional discharge and had to pay costs of £85.

 

He is a foot supporter on the Crawley & Horsham FH and on the 5th of February, while the Croydon Hunt Sabs Land Rover was blocked in by Hunt vehicles, he was filmed trying to punch through the side passenger window of their Land Rover, apparently trying to reach the driver. This was filmed by other Hunt Saboteurs who he then proceeded to threaten. Initially denying the charges he pleaded guilty after being shown the video evidence.

 

The government has launched a public consultation on Trail Hunting – this is our chance to stop cruel hunting for good. You can read the HSA’s guidance and take part in the consultation here. The deadline is 18th June 2026 – make sure your voice is heard.
