HSBC Pays for Otis Ferry Legal costs

Hunt Investigations | 08.12.2008 00:38 | Animal Liberation

Otis Ferry legal costs are actually being paid by insurance his hunt took out with HSBC.

Last year it emerged that many hunts were so concerned about prosecution that they took insurance out with HSBC, without this insurance many huntsman would be less likely to pursue wildlife.

It has now emerged that Otis Ferry's legal costs are being paid for by the HSBC bank.

HSBC is insuring these eco-terrorists, allowing them to get away with murder.

One bit of good news is that Otis will remain in Jail until at least March, that means one less rich boy chasing our wildlife this hunting season.

Background

insurers take note

Otis is currently banged up for attempted witness nobbleing. I would imagine that his insurers contemplated covering people accused of hunting offences, not perverting the course of justice. I believe that it is not in the public interest for this insurance "contract" to be allowed to stand. A few years ago people could buy insurance that covered them against looseing their driving licences through drink/drive offences. This was stopped.

Will the same insurers cover me if i get acused of a direct action type offence? Up to what level? What sort of offences are included? What sort of premium can i expect to pay?

I suppose HSBC might be able to help. Someone ought to ask them to quote.
