This poor cat 😰

A hunt master has been convicted after a pack ofWestern Hunt master John Sampson was ordered to pay more than £1,600 having been found guilty of being in charge of at least one dog dangerously out of control.

The footage shows Sampson’s son Edward hurling the cat’s lifeless body over a fence into a neighbour’s back garden in Trafalgar Fields, Madron, Penzance. Neighbour Charlie Knight filmed the incident on his mobile phone, while another neighbour, Peter Nicholls, spoke to Edward Sampson, a whipper-in. Mr Nicholls said he grabbed his walking stick and went outside and saw Edward Sampson, adding: ‘He had a whip in his hand, and I saw the cat fall from the nose of the dog, and he was running and he scooped the body of the cat up off the road and flicked it straight over the hedge into my garden.Asked what happened next, Mr Nicholls said: ‘He whipped the two hounds away and coming past me I said I’d seen what he had done, and he said, “I’m sorry, I’ll be back in a minute”.

He said: ‘A man appeared who picked up the cat, looked around, which I perceived to be him looking for witnesses, then threw the black cat over the wooden fence into the back garden.
