  1. It is the most vile thing. How anyone can find pleasure in badger and fox baiting is beyond my comprehension.

    Their sentences:

    >District Judge Adrian Lower….banned all four men from keeping or owning dogs for five years, banned them from coming to North Yorkshire for 12 months and disqualified them from driving, also for 12 months.

    >All four were made subject to a community order for 12 months.  Crosby, of Laburnum Grove, Middlesbrough, Tyres, of Sidlow Road, Billingham, and Parkinson, of Victoria Terrace, Port Clarence, were ordered to do 150 hours’ unpaid work.

    >Smithson, who was 17 at the time of the badger baiting and who lives in a hostel in Stockton-on-Tees was fined £200.  Each of them must pay a £114 statutory surcharge and £85 prosecution costs.

  3. If someone asked me when the last prosecution for badger baiting was, i’d probably have guessed about 1903.
