WOW! - This is mildly shocking to say the least…

Here Hare Here?

Similar thing happened last month in Romsey but worse...

Very odd. Usualy people who do things like this are wanting to make some kind of point, yet no one appears to have stepped forward and said "it was me and here's why I did it"... unless there's more to the story than is being reported.

I think that the people who kill hares are often people who like Caravans and Dags, maybe there is a bit of beef with someone not allowed to park somewhere and do caravanning or grassed up for hare coursing?

Police looking for a Suzuki Grand Vitara ices the cake.

That was my immediate thought.

The people involved in the violence against the hunt sabs struck me as similar people.

If I were the police I'd be looking into anything related to hunting and animal rights.

A Vitara found burnt out. I assume the VIN plate will lead nowhere, or be registered to a person at a location where the people won't talk.

A quote "Tony Lowry, a local wildlife and conservation warden, believes rival criminal groups who travel from outside the area are to blame. He claims it's driven by gambling: "Money, betting between groups, that's basically what it's about... how many animals they're going to kill in one night, how big an animal?"

The perpetrators could do with being impaled on a door handle.

Seems it has been going on for a while.

There was a Wattsapp group who specialised in showing pictures of animals they'd killed catapults going round recently. I can only think these people are some subhuman cult who've emerged from the dross they've been bought up in.

I bloody hope not, it was held not 3 miles from me, on "t' moss"

On the Flat Land at Great Altcar, as far West in West Lancachire, you can go before you get to Merseyside.

Just off the very busy and very potholed B road from Formby to Ormskirk.

It's bad enough, that they still do pheasant shooting, which means that for weeks afterwards, any escapees, are usually running wild, looking for front spoilers to destroy.

"Former Hull trawlerman given 'wife's ashes' before her cremation"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-68606...

A chap heard about the investigation and phoned the crematorium for details, and found out his wife had (apparently) been cremated several weeks after he received "her" ashes.

Sounds like perhaps cashflow issues, they need to get new customers in to clear the backlog, and are giving random ashes to people expecting them?

Wrong thread. Hopefully, that is - unless we're now looking at the dodgy funeral directors taking even more drastic action to dispose of the recently departed?

Seems like they arrested a guy from Totton this week according to TVP Fb page.
