THREE men are due to appear in court accused of illegal fox hunting.
Mark Anthony Pearson, 63, Thomas Michael Lyle, 33, and Marcus Boundy, 21, and all from Blandford, have been issued with a postal requisition to appear before Weymouth Magistrates’ Court in June for an offence of hunting a wild mammal with dogs.
It follows an investigation by Dorset Police’s Rural Crime Team into an alleged incident involving the Portman Hunt on Thursday, September 15 of last year.
Police Constable Sebastian Haggett, of the Rural Crime Team, said: “We take all reports of this nature very seriously. This matter has been the subject of a detailed investigation by officers, and we have sought advice from the Crown Prosecution Service.
“As this case is now the subject of court proceedings, it would not be appropriate for us to comment any further at this time. It is imperative that justice is allowed to run its course and I would also urge members of the public not to publish anything online or on social media that could risk prejudicing these proceedings.”

I hope all three are sent to prison for breaking the law. It is time that these vile evil bastards were shown they cannot get away with their cruelty to wild life and breaking the law so come on judges do your job lock the filthy scum up.
