Or as Monty Python's Yellowbeard once said, "I'll kill anyone who gets in the way of me killing anyone.."
And for those of you who don't know the story, the plan is basically to cull up to 5000 badgers in Gloucester and Somerset under the orders of Environment Secretary Owen Paterson. But don't worry though, Paterson kept badgers as a kid, so he knows what he's doing.
An anti-badger cull spokesman has been arrested in Gloucestershire after he was found by police at a site owned by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
According to the Three Counties Hunt Saboteurs campaign group, the man arrested was Jay Tiernan, a representative of the 'Coalition of Badger Action Groups' and 'Stop the Cull' protest groups. He was arrested at DEFRA's Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratory in Ashdown, Stroud, on Monday on suspicion of aggravated trespass.
The arrest follows the granting of a High Court injunction to protect farmers from "harassment and threats” made by badger cull protesters.
The National Farmers' Union (NFU) applied for the injunction, claiming some farmers need protection from protesters’ “sustained campaign of intimidation.”
As a result of the ruling, protests are not allowed to take place within 100m of the homes, and within 25m of businesses, of anyone involved in the cull. The injunction also prevents protesters from entering private land without consent – and anyone found to be in breach of it risks facing contempt of court proceedings.
