Police in Cumbria, Great Britain warned in March that they will not tolerate vigilante activities by anti-hunt protests. Right, just like Great Britain has shown it will not tolerate harassment and violence for anti-animal research activists.
Police Superintendent Steve Turnbull told The Whitehaven News,
We would also discourage anyone from disrupting legal activities.
If anybody has any information [on illegal hunts] they should hand it over to the police. We will listen to them.
Wow — police are actually going to discourage people from interfering with legal activities. What a bold policy. Turnbull’s really going out on a limb here.
