Warning: This video and article contain images readers may find distressingFootage secretly filmed shows a man in Essex attacking a fox with a garden fork. The film, shared exclusively with ITV News, sees the wild animal appearing from underground.
Essex Police told ITV news it has “arrested a 48-year-old man from the Bures area after receiving reports of animal cruelty. He was arrested on suspicion of offences under the Hunting Act 2004, the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and the Wild Mammal Protection Act 1996. He remains in custody at this time.”Lee Moon, spokesperson for the Hunt Saboteurs Association said: “This is some of the worst abuse we have ever witnessed the wanton cruelty is hard to fathom.
"While most people who watch the video will be horrified, the calm and methodical manner in which [he goes] about catching and torturing this poor fox show how commonplace the actions are."The undercover filming was captured by North London Hunt Saboteurs who’ve been monitoring the site since 2020.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn So Twitter is the home of cancel culture . Make cancel culture constructive . Arrest , charge , publicly shame , dismiss from their jobs , imprison and destroy these pathetic peoples lives . Show them the respect they showed these animals . Peace .
rupertevelyn I think you need to name and shame him and the hunt he's attached to. He wouldn't be doing this hideous thing if he wasn't working for the hunt!
rupertevelyn What sort of person gets actual enjoyment out of doing this? Not right in the head...
rupertevelyn I hope someone doesn’t find out where they live and attacked them with a garden fork.
rupertevelyn Waiting for a statement from EssexPoliceUK
rupertevelyn A complete monster of a family... Totally unacceptable.... All fox hunters should be ashamed of what you do and how it's really done...
rupertevelyn Why blur out the animal abusers faces ?
rupertevelyn Thanks Rupert great piece 👍
rupertevelyn When is this going to be stopped. Such cruelty. Talk about the public being so angry about this! 😡. Thank you Rupert and ITV News for reporting this.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn I hope this evil man is suitably punished This is nothing less than torture and murder akin to sadistic mafia/gangland style revenge killing. But for sport.
rupertevelyn Hopefully this has serious consequences for *all* people involved. This has to stop. Obviously they are all well versed in torture live animals. Imagine what happens behind closed doors ...
Peter52151528 rupertevelyn In what world is this okay? Maybe the 'good law project' could take it up?
rupertevelyn Will this be covered on the news on TV. We need to open the eyes of the public to this barbaric cruelty. There is so much evidence now that people escalate from animal cruelty to humans as they need a bigger and bigger 'fix'
AlanAlan5240751 rupertevelyn 💔😢🖤
McWill99 rupertevelyn Someone should it that bastard with a garden fork
rupertevelyn Artificial Earths are used by Hunts to manage a supply of foxes to hunt illegally for sport. The argument that foxes are ‘vermin’ that must be ‘managed’ by ‘those who understand the countryside’ is a sham and a fiction.
rupertevelyn I can’t watch the video but can imagine what happens. What can we do to stop these vile people? We can’t stay silent and ignore suffering.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn Plenty of these ‘Artificial Earths’ dotted around woodland in Northants and Leicestershire. Used regularly by the local hunts staff to release foxes to be hunted illegally. Isn’t that right LeicsRuralCrime NorthantsPolice If you go down to the woods today….
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn This is just heart-breaking
rupertevelyn He is not a random man he is connected with a hunt. This is what they do. Can you follow up on this. FoxHunting Illegal TerrierMen SoftUnderbelly
rupertevelyn I read this on the news page, can’t watch the video… him utterly abhorrent, her, viile: both never go on a safari as karma is a deserving bitch..!
SpaceAgeMark rupertevelyn Evil 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn Terrible
rupertevelyn I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison. Not somebody who should be walking around among us. 💔
rupertevelyn Thank you for showing this story on TV tonight. Hunting in the UK is a big problem and is pure animal torture. More animal centred stories need more attention on the news.
rupertevelyn bring back public hanging.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn I don’t understand why they are doing it. Very cruel.
rupertevelyn I can’t watch the footage I just hope the man gets caught and put in prison.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn Thanks for extremely harrowing report, strong correlation between perpetrators of animal cruelty & domestic violence .
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn why haven’t you named him?
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn His name's Paul O'Shea and he works for the Essex Hunt.
rupertevelyn Sick sick sick. The punishment had better fit the crime!!!
rupertevelyn police should visit his accomplice as well. She played her part in the torturing of that animal.
PressHsa rupertevelyn And his accomplice. Let's not lose sight of her complicity
rupertevelyn Should be entitled 'A Short Film About Hunt Terriermen' - caught in the act. Why does a hunt that allegedly follows a trail need Terriermen and their dogs?
rupertevelyn What is the mans name?
rupertevelyn Thank you for showing this on the bulletin tonight. Exposing what hunts do and knowing they can get away with it. Its appalling and the public need to know that it goes on. Let's hope the law is enforced and this creep is prosecuted.
rupertevelyn thankyou again ITV News for exposing these disgusting people and their cruelty
rupertevelyn Absolutely shocking, long time jail sentence for him if it was up to me. Shame in him 😢
rupertevelyn He should be locked up for 10 years. It’s time the government bought in a total ban on all kinds of hunting animals, it’s outdated & barbaric, it is not a sport. Imagine what they could do to a human if they could get away with it. Paul O’Shea is his name
rupertevelyn If love to prong him with a fork and see how he likes it. Animals are all defenceless against human cruelty practiced by sadists such as this.
rupertevelyn No words. Despicable...
rupertevelyn F**king grim.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn OMG I’m so bloody angry at this. I have no words to describe my feelings right now 😢
WYP_CNewsome rupertevelyn Hopefully the psychopathy inherent in foxhunting and terrierman behaviour is more broadly known by the public at large thanks to the ITV report. Foxhunting is illegal, it is time for the police to remember this and prosecute the bastards.
rupertevelyn Rtd n shared 💔💔💔💔🤬
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn Im getting sick of these freaks.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn this breaks my heart
rupertevelyn 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn Hopefully, the courts will get this scum sorted out.
rupertevelyn Thats no human thats an evil monster
rupertevelyn Print his address!
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn Let's find him. I've never actually rammed a garden fork up someone's arse, but hey, we all have to learn new skills.
rupertevelyn Why do you cover this man's face he looks clearly over 18 and it's very clear what he's doing.
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn 😡🤬😡🤬😡
ChrisGPackham rupertevelyn This is what sick individuals relish, if they can’t do it on horse back it’s done on foot, lowest of the low that enjoy killing & shooting for their own sick pleasure, worse again when they try defending criticsm with “what Rubbish” even gloat about it in the public domain! scum
rupertevelyn who do you think you're talking to ?- i know it's doris but YOU WERE NOT ELECTED AND LOOK AT THE DAMAGE YOUR 'ADVICE' HAS DONE YOU 'EXPERTS' NEED REINING IN SHAME YOU HAVEN'T THE HONOUR OF RESIGNING
rupertevelyn Lock him up and throw away the key
rupertevelyn Allegedly Paul O'Shea, terrier man of the East Essex Hunt. Perhaps you could do an interview with him ?
rupertevelyn Perhaps Mr Fox got stuck up mrs periwinkles backwards facing Alley and this gentleman is simply trying to help with a fork? Or perhaps its only bloodlust ?
rupertevelyn I fixed it for you: “Secretly filmed footage shows East Essex hunt terrier man, Paul O’Shea, ‘attacking a fox with garden fork’.” We all know what’s going on here & it’s horrific.
rupertevelyn Paul O'shae is employed by East Essex Hunt as a terrier man! His wife is joint Master! They still illegal hunt fox. Here he is with other scum.
rupertevelyn Thank you for printing this and thank you rupertevelyn for your integrity to cover it.
rupertevelyn What the fuck was he doing with a fork in the woods
rupertevelyn Why isn't the name of this man being released?😡😡
rupertevelyn Judging by your other recent articles I am surprised you didn't write the headline as 'White Man stabs fox of colour to death'
rupertevelyn What a gross inhumane 🤬 I hope he is identified and arrested ASAP. RSPCA_official
rupertevelyn Just wait until you find out what fHarmers & slaughter house workers do to cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, geese and yes horses (I’m less than 10 mile from a horse abattoir) Try Veganuary2022 for a happier meal
