Female Sab riden over by hunt supporter and 2 sabs arrested during a dig-out at the Essex Union.

North and East London Sabs attended a meet of the Essex Union Foxhounds at Moor End Farm, Broxted (Pony Club Meet). Not all the details are available at the moment as the sabs are still using direct action to stop/disrupt the hunt.
During the afternoon sabs were rode at by huntsman and hunt supporters resulting in a female sab being ridden over, sustaining an injury to her back. This is the same hunt that last week broke a sabs wrist in two places.

A while later a fox went to ground, the terrier man was called (Jamie Purser) and a dig-out comenced, during this, sabs were trying to film and moniter the actions of the hunt. The Police who had been been illegally using the Criminal Justice Act to prevent sabs from using footpaths earlier in the day, decided to move all the sabs away. This action resulted in 2 Female sabs being arrested. (probably aggrevated trespass)
At the time of writing, the Police are refusing to inform sabs where the arrested two have been taken, giving the address's of 4 different Police Stations scatterred around the county.
