SHAC ATTACK | 14.12.2007 08:15 | Animal Liberation

Nutcase

Nutcase Suzanne Jaggers, the Skipton woman convicted of blackmail last month is to be sentenced on Monday at Leeds Crown Court.
You may recall that during her time in the dock she admitted to having offered help to the Police whilst actively attending demos and meetings and she also darkened the name of SHAC by attempting to convince a jury that certain of it's members had threatened to brand her and beat her up if she didn't carry out certain actions, mainly telephone calls.
Wonder what they will do with her ?

New smear

14.12.2007 10:16

So SHAC attempts the latest smear against one of its former supporters.

It would be better if SHAC spent the time trying to weed out those bullies who think it OK to threaten a women who will not do what they want.

SHAC has done so much harm to the animal rights movement in Europe, probably set the cause back ten years.

...supply a photograph of this woman if you have one. It is always useful to circulate the photo of grasses as they quite often go from one organisation/campaign to the next causing problems that could have been avoided if everyone knew who they were. Cheers.

It's now the day after sentencing (according to the above reply) and still no news!?!
Perhaps she's been taken to a police safe-house under a media blackout...
I'm not taking the piss.
But...
I could be wrong in my assumption.

Animal rights fanatic 'has tried to kill herself'

Animal rights fanatic 'has tried to kill herself'
By Steve Wright


Animal rights activist Suzanne Jaggers is suffering from a serious psychiatric disorder and has tried to take her life in custody, a judge was told.

Bank worker Jaggers, 35, who was last month convicted of blackmail which was part of an animal cruelty campaign, was due to be sentenced at Leeds Crown Court yesterday.

But Judge Jennifer Kershaw, QC, adjourned the hearing so that psychiatrists could carry out further assessments.

Miss Chloe Fairley, representing Jaggers, of Upper Sackville Street, Skipton, told the judge she wanted to be sentenced.

But Judge Kershaw said a report by psychologist Bernard Catt said Jaggers posed a serious risk to her own life and was suffering from a serious psychiatric disorder for which she was not receiving treatment.

Dr Adrian Berry, a forensic psychiatrist at Newton Lodge secure unit in Wakefield, where Jaggers is being held, had said she should be remanded back into custody so that he and his clinical team could continue their diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Judge Kershaw said: "She arrived in Newton Lodge having given rise to considerable cause for concern in custody, having regard to the number and level of attempts upon her own life, and symptomology consistent with a major depressive illness."

The probation service had also been unable to complete pre-sentence reports.

The judge said: "I do not know enough about the person who is to be sentenced. Miss Jaggers is primarily an unknown quantity. While I understand her view, it would not be fair or reasonable to sentence her against that imperfectly-understood background."

Jaggers, who is a member of the RSPCA, was remanded back into custody and a new sentencing date will be fixed when Dr Berry has completed his assessments.

Jaggers was convicted by a jury at Bradford Crown Court last month of one offence of blackmail, involving a phone call to the boss of a Cheshire-based company in which she referred to his vehicles being firebombed.

The blackmail attempt was said to be part of a campaign by the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) organisation.

At the end of the trial Judge Kershaw told Jaggers the overwhelming likelihood was that she would receive a custodial sentence.

interesting that the newspaper have referred to an "anti cruelty campaign" (which SHAC is) rather than a terrorist or extremist campaign.

Maybe the reporter has read up on the animal cruelty that takes place at huntingdon life sciences?

If so, and he has made his own assumptions re the campaign - well done and thanks!

She is clearly very disturbed and very ugly too. As a potential state collaborator this woman should be known no mercy by any activist anywhere, no letters, no support at all.

IT IS NICE TO SEE ALL THE COMMENTS WHICH ALL YOU LOVELY ANIMAL ACTIVISTS HAVE PLACED ON THE VARIOUS WEBSITES.

THE SO CALLED ACTIVISTS WHO "KNEW ME" AND ARE PLACING COMMENTS ARE BARKING MAD.

FOR YOUR INFO I HAVE BEEN VEGAN FOR A YEAR AND VEGGIE SINCE TEN AND THE HANDBAG IN THE PHOTO IS NOT LEATHER, YOU IDIOTS, IT IS FAKE.

PLEASE GET A LIFE AND A JOB.

BREAKING THE LAW ONLY LANDS YOU IN JAIL AND DOES NOT HELP THE ANIMALS HOWEVER MUCH YOU IDIOTS LIKE TO JUSTIFY YOURSELF.

I AM GLAD I AM OUT OF THE MOVEMENT AS YOU ARE ALL LOSERS AND QUITE FRANKLY THE ANIMALS DESERVE BETTER.

PS:

I HAVE BEEN SECTIONED UNDER EIGHT DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE MENTAL HEALTH ACT AND BEEN IN FIVE DIFFERENT PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS, SO NOBODY FRIGHTENS ME!
