Fantastic article! 👏 Name and shame them all. Hope to see their names appear on Instagram and other social media too, where they can be seen by more people.

It is shocking how few convictions are successful, but still a victory that despite the odds some of these members of hunts are facing consequences for their actions. If this kind of violence happened in a pub, they would be arrested and jailed, yet these thugs aren’t even under the influence of alcohol; they viciously attack in broad daylight. Those sabs are incredibly brave facing such intimidation and abuse when they are trying to save lives. I commend them all.

At last, some justice is being seen to be done.

All those convictions are good to see. I just wish that: 1. They were convicted successfully for EVERY time they chased and/or sadistically murdered a poor animal and/or attacked the brave sabs/monitors, instead of getting completely away with it and: 2. That the poor animal and/or the brave hunt sabs/monitors hadn't have gotten attacked (verbally or physically) by "them" in the process. But these convictions are still good news for showing why ALL hunts need to properly and completely banned right now!!

I would also just like to let everyone here know about a 2nd "Geronimo like" case currently ongoing in France here: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/05/i-demand-she-is-spared-brigitte-bardot-joins-campaign-to-save-wild-boar

and I know that Labour "promised" to "Ban trail hunting", however, what about "drag hunting" and "clean boot hunting" that I recently found out about through this link here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgnv50r9mvo ?

Even in "clean boot hunting", even IF they aren't hunting an innocent animal, what about what happens to the dogs deemed "too slow"?

I totally agree, Cara. That poor wild boar looks so beautiful too. It must be heartbreaking for the woman who found her as a baby boar and reared her responsibly.

I completely agree Helen! I have signed the petition it showed on the website (it is on change.org in French here if you would like to sign it too: https://www.change.org/p/sauvez-notre-laie-sanglier-de-chaouce-mascotte-en-danger) and I sincerely hope that that sweet boar will be safe and either manages to stay with that kind lady or is able to be looked after in a sanctuary 🤞. It is so similar to poor Geronimo's case all over again. I just sincerely hope that it ends differently this time for that adorable boar and her kind owner/guardian than it did for poor, sweet Geronimo 😿💔🤬🤬🤬!! I am utterly disgusted by both the so called "authorities" and the so called "organisations" the lady called who despicably said to give the poor boar the bullet 😿💔🤬🤬🤬!!!!

Yes, it's good to get "COWARDLY HUNTERS" and their "SKIVIES" to pay the price of "JUSTICE",but that, the "Right orrible slimey starmer" is not interested in our wildlife, "WELL" he cancelled the "RWANDA" scheme before he had time to put on his "VERY EXPENSIVE" specticle's, why did the liar not deal with "OUR" wildlife, "ALL" (most) MPs are more interested in their "JOBS" than serving their constituency, I cannot vote for "ANY" political party, they are all "COWARDS", they have not got the "GUTS" to ban all "KILLING/MURDER" of our wildlife, all "MPS" don't want to upset their "UPPER CLASS MASTERS". "GIVE US STRENGTH"
