SHAC - who's left now ?

SHACWATCH | 18.11.2008 12:03 | SHAC

Who’s left?
SHAC is being pulled appart at Winchester - SPEAK decapitated. Wannabes like Pottymouth and pretty boy Steel are starting on their self determined journey of ever longer prison terms.

The fool locked up with his mum and ASBO’ed!

So SHACWATCHERS - who is still out there?

I’ll start - Lynn, Keith , Debbie - who else, lets compile a list and celebrate here when they get caged!


AN EAST Peckham man has appeared in court accused of causing more than £70,000 worth of damage at a Lincolnshire rabbit farm, which was targeted by animal rights protestors.

Lewis Pogson, of Bush Road, faces charges of blackmail, burglary and criminal damage at Highgate Farm in Normanby by Spital in January this year.

The 22-year-old also faces a further charge of interfering with a contractual relationship so as to harm an animal research establishment, as well as four conspiracy charges.

Some 129 rabbits were stolen and a large amount of damage was caused during a raid at Highgate Farm on the night of January 6 this year.

Vehicles were smashed up and Animal Liberation Front graffiti daubed on walls during the raid.

Highgate Farm was targeted by animal rights groups after it supplied rabbits used in testing by the research company Huntingdon Life Sciences.

At a brief hearing at Lincoln Crown Court on Tuesday, no pleas were taken from Pogson and he was remanded in custody until January 9, after being refused bail.

So a man from the Friend Animal sanctury - where SHAC have their post delivered has been charged with an ALF attack ! SHAC = ALF

Are you getting the message SHAC?

Hang on a moment!
The authorities originally raided Mr Pogson because he was keeping the stolen rabbits inhumanely. Why has he evaded a charge of causing unnecessary suffering? Could it be that the police left that to the RSPCA and they are biased in his favour, even though nearly all of these “rescues” rebound to the distress of animals? Particularly so in the case of mink liberations.

Last time I saw a liberated mink round here, it was dragging a particularly thoroughly deceased rabbit along the towpath. When I declined to move out of its way, which the little bugger clearly expected, it chucked the rabbit in the river, dived in after it and proceeded to tow it downstream by an ear, rather like a tug-boat.

When the gardens of Wrest Park were crowded with visitors, I saw a headless rabbit-corpse being methodically dragged through the crowd, from ankle to ankle, little minky having decided that A; he didn’t need the head, so had chewed it off and left it behind, and B; the shortest distance from rabbit burrow to mink burrow was through the middle of the Sunday afternoon visitors.

The biggest cause of rabbit-suffering in the UK are the endearingly evil mink which the ALF liberated.
