Last year 55-year old Donald Forbes beat a fox nearly to death with a golf club for doing nothing more than stealing a biscuit from his belongings at the Peterculter Golf Club in Scotland. According to the Press and Journal, an animal-cruelty officer described it as a “brutal and sickening” attack.
Forbes was charged with animal cruelty, paid a fine of $1,210 (£750) and was suspended from the club for nine months.
Unfortunately, the club has decided to reinstate Forbes’ membership, which animal lovers and activists disagree with. Legendary Queen guitarist and animal rights activist Brian May has also added his voice to protest Forbes’ membership, along with the group Fox Watch.
Please sign the petition, via the link below, asking the Peterculter Golf Club to hold animal abusers accountable and take a stand against violence by banning Forbes for life.

This murdering scum should be behind bars, if he had done this to a child he would be, its a disgrace that this club is having this murdering bastard back, shame on them what sort of people are these???
What a horrible man. How could you do this to an innocent animal who wasn’t doing you a bit of harm? You are scum. You make me sick.
…….To Peterculter Golf Club..We the undersigned call on Peterculter Golf Club to completely ban member Donald Forbes from their golf club and enforce strict regulations banning anyone who commits an act of animal cruelty on their course. Donald Forbes was convicted of animal cruelty in 2011 for beating a fox to death on the golf course after it took a chocolate biscuit from his bag. We believe this is an extremely poor excuse for the murder of a defenceless animal and anything less than an outright ban is unacceptable.
What a wanker- kill the bastard- the excuse for a man I mean!!! No balls just a coward.
you wont be singing same song when that poor innocent little fox sneaks in your window and rags your baby’s arm off thinking its a biscuit!!i just hope you all have the same passion about child abuse and murderers because maybe you should all focus your opinions and air your anger on that instead?!would actually go to more use and people may listen to you then, instead of venting on here about something that has been going on since time began!!because i’m assuming that everything you own has never been tested on animals or is made from animal hide??
