A vehicle belonging to South Coast Hunt Saboteurs was lifted up in the air on the spikes of a JCB, risking the life of the occupants, whilst sabs were intervening at a wildfowl shoot that was taking place despite the national Covid lockdown

Members of the shooting party were attempting to kill ducks, geese and marsh harriers (who are included in the Amber list of UK species of conservation concern and are legally protected), shooting the birds as they were flying home to roost as dusk fell on the afternoon of Friday the 20th November.

They became angry and frustrated on finding that they had sabs at their killing spree and turned their natural aggression on the sabs, pushing one into a ditch, attempting to run others over with a quad bike and breaking phones and cameras. When these attempts were unsuccessful they blocked the sab vehicle in on a narrow lane before attacking it with a spiked JCB.
