“‘I decided to get out of there and go home but suddenly they all ran towards me waving bats and blocks of wood, shouting, “Get her'” ‘I was jostled and they smashed my fishing rod.’ As she broke away from the melee, Miss Belson saw another woman being punched in the face and several cars being vandalised.” Nigel Bunyon of the UK Telegraph reports on an incident in which activists assaulted several fly fishers at England’s Bank House fishery.
Another Telegraph columnist accurately points out that these thugs are not animal-lovers, but people-haters.
