CONVICTED (2020) | Mathew Howell Jones, born 30/05/1981, of Jones Street, Tonypandy CF40 2BY – for badger baiting and failing to take his injured dog to the vet
Mathew Howell Jones pleaded guilty to one Protection of Badgers Act 1992 offence and one Animal Welfare Act 2006 offence.
The court heard that the father-of-three was caught using dogs to interfere with a badger sett on January 20, 2019.
Jones also admitted failing to get urgent veterinary treatment for his dog, with the black terrier struggling with serious injuries.
The unnamed dog had alopecia and skin lesions, caused by sarcoptic mange – with a wound to the eye consistent with a tear injury to the lower lid. Despite these problems, Jones had not taken him to the vet.
A veterinary professional said such injuries are “commonly seen following fighting” and would be “consistent with a face-to-face encounter with another dog or a fox or a badger”.
The dog – one of four initially seized as part of the investigation – was signed into the RSPCA’s care and ultimately put up for rehoming.
Police found blood-stained overalls in Jones’ van, though he denied ownership of the clothing. Testing of the blood confirmed it had come from a badger. RSPCA officers later found evidence of one large, freshly dug and back-filled hole at an active badger sett.
Chief inspector of the RSPCA’s special operations unit Ian Briggs said: “Interfering with a badger sett in this way is a very serious wildlife crime, and clearly had serious possible impacts both for the dogs involved and wildlife.
“One poor dog in this case was struggling with injuries that clearly needed urgent veterinary care. It’s very worrying that the injuries sustained by the dog are – according to veterinary opinion – consistent with fighting, and a face-to-face encounter with wildlife, such as a fox or a badger.
“This case is yet another example of the RSPCA’s efforts to tackle crimes against Wales’ wildlife.”
Sentencing: five-month prison sentence, suspended for 24 months; ordered to pay a total of £1,520. Disqualified from keeping all animals for four years.
Jones was also deprived by the court of all possessions related to the interference with a badger sett – including locating devices and netting.
Evil Scum, got off to lightly, your Not Safe Around That Child, Social Services Will Be Informed.
I am the assailant Mathew Jones and you know nothing about me and the person I am, only what your reading on here, I’m not a bad person or a cruel person as they are trying to make out I am, i had to strike a deal to avoid prison so I could go home to my family, I was not badger digging and never have I wasn’t even on a badger set, and as far as the dogs eye it was caused by another dog attacking her and looks worse than what it was, this pic was taken days later when I handed the dog in, if I’d of had the dog back in my care she would never of looked this way, don’t judge a book by its cover.
Why did you have netting and a locator device? How do you explain the badger blood on overalls found in your vehicle? Why were you there that day? You’ve had your day in court and were convicted as charged. I’m sorry, but your defence is simply not plausible. You did this and now you have to live with the consequences.
The Reality Is: You Also (Pleaded Guilty) To The Charges.
If you weren’t interfering with a badger set, how do you explain the clothing soaked with badger blood found in your van? And the locating devices and netting confiscated by the court? Not your average kit you take out with you for an innocent dog-walk???
Them overalls and netting were given to me by a man who was deceased back in December I do use nets for fox hunting and I use a gun for humanely dispatching I hunt foxes in places where their a pest to farmers, I would like to state that them overalls had been in that van for over a year and it’s been stated by a witness that them overalls weren’t even worn by me, I’ve never worn them. And I do not hunt no longer and never will again as I handed all my dogs into the RSPCA for rehoming. I took that charge of admittance because I was advised to do so so I would not be imprisoned for something I did not do. When I was caught near the set their was already 2 men there with hounds who I didn’t know but when sirens were heard them people ran and I approached the officers to plead my innocence, I didn’t run!!
How very unfortunate!! I must make sure that I never allow any friends to leave any crowbars, balaclavas, wire cutters, etc in my car and drive around with them in my car for a year just in case one day I happen to stumble across 2 men breaking into a factory farm or research lab when I just happen to be there, because then when they run off when they hear sirens and i randomly feel the need to run up to the police and say “it wasn’t me” they might search my car, find incriminating evidence and not believe me, and I’ll also end up the poor innocent victim of such a terrible miscarriage of justice as you’ve suffered!!!
Yet The Reality Is: You (Pleaded Guilty) To The Charges.
Instead of: You should have Shopped Those Other Guys or Given Descriptions and Pointed Them Out, at Photo Shoots At The Police Station, you don’t mean to say, You Took The Wrap For Them Two Other Guys, and Let Them Off Scot Free.
Don’t explain yourself mate fuck them all I know and everyone who knows you knows you ain’t a bad person
To: Ian Williams
The Reality Is: He Pleaded Guilty To The Charges.
Fuckwitt,
I actually Own A Small Farm, No Wild Life are a nuisance to myself or the animals, All You Need Is The Right Set Up, ie. Foxes Cannot Get At My Chickens or harm them in any way.
I Would Never Have To Let Men and Terriers or Guns Shooting Here. Full Stop.
What a croc. A humane terrier “man”. You are a dinosaur. The sooner you and your ilk are extinct the better.
You wouldn’t have had to strike a deal with the prosecution if you wasn’t guilty?!
If the dogs eye was injured, priority should have been taking it to a vet, not waiting to hand it in. Scum mate. Pure and simple
Shut up little boy your were abusing animals and killing them that’s why your guilty lying scumbag let’s hope you get treated the same
(HE IS NOT SAFE AROUND THIS CHILD)
Social Services. You Need To Investigate. Full Stop.
He is MENTALLY DISTURBED.
How is this anything to do with his children or him being a dad you idiot, most of the time papers make things sound worse than it is!!! I never believe anything I read in the papers or Facebook because they get over dramatic idiots like yourself with half the facts writing the articles.
So you Do Not think he is Mentally Disturbed, and the Fact that he has Pleaded Guilty To The Charges. It is obvious he has Mental Issues with this kind of Behaviour. Do you yourself think this is Normal Behaviour of Normal People. This is Barbaric Cruelty Pure and Simple. By the way: it is obvious who the Idiots are here, you are clearly just as bad, are you One Of His Associates, or One Of The Guys He States Ran Away.
Why are you bringing children into this and mentioning social services?? Really??!!
Are you mentally disturbed to even say that?!
Stupid stupid comment I gotta be honest
And You Are BACKWARD.
My Reply To Bev’s Comment:
More than A humane terrier “man” – (As You Put It).
(The State Of That Dog / Says It All).
Who are you to say he is not safe around a child! Listening to tabloids which make stories worse than they are which is called click bait! The damage you could do by making accusations that he’s not safe around a child when you know nothing other than a 1 sided story. Get your facts straight before you make your opinion public! shame on you!
No: Shame On You.
We Speak Up For The Voiceless, and We Are Against Barbaric Cruelty. Regardless Of All His Followers.
He: Was The One Who (Pleaded Guilty).
Yet again another piece of sick bloodthirsty scum escapes prison, yet anti bloodsports protesters are routinely jailed for criminal damage when they attack the property of pro bloodsports scum even though they don’t sink to the scum’s level and resort to physical violence. What chance do animals ever have with our fucked up justice system and a government that repeatedly attempts to overturn the foxhunting ban? (which is never enforced anyway, police always target the protesters, not the law breaking sickos blatantly still hunting foxes right in front of their noses) Too many bloodthirsty pro hunting scum within the government is a large part of the problem of the pathetically inadequate animal welfare laws.
To the “assailant” as you call yourself .. even if by some very large mistake you weren’t involved in “digging” .. how do you explain this ? .. ” dog had alopecia and skin lesions, caused by sarcoptic mange – with a wound to the eye consistent with a tear injury to the lower lid. Despite these problems, Jones did not ensure appropriate veterinary care for the dog”
Like I said you don’t know the full story, 2 vets inspected the dog and ruled out anything wrong with the dog but it was over ruled by the rspaca considering the dog had been seen by 2 vets previous and was said to be in good health
It is obvious. The Dogs Photo of its Face, it was Not In Good Health.
Then Photo The Vet Receipts and Post Them On Here.
You have no right to comment on me being a father on social media, keyboard warrior that’s all you are, I’m not a cruel or bad person at all, all your seeing is the bad stuff not the truth, if you continue to involve my children on here or any other site then I will take it to the police.
You Are Obviously Not Thinking Of Your Children, They Will Be Bullied In School and On The Street, Because Of Your Horrific Cruelty.
You Are Mentally Disturbed.
(Social Services Have been Informed).
Really!! Informing the social services, wasting their time, when some poor child could really need their help. Your entitled to your opinion but please this is going too far, by the way my children are older and have and will always be cared for and loved
I don’t support what he has done. In fact I’ve shared the post stating that there are no excuses because there aren’t. I will always call a spade a spade but what I will also say is that he is a very loving good father to his kids. So stop the crap about reporting him to social services. Social workers have enough work to do dealing with children who are genuinely at risk.
I understand what you are saying, and the Fact He States his children are now grown up. But like it or lump it. He Has Brought (Shame To His Family), and Yes if the children were going to school or playing out the street, they would be Bullied by others, because of their Fathers Actions, especially Due To The Fact: He Has Pleaded Guilty To His Charges. Also yes im sorry, but I personally believe, people of this Nature Are Mentally Disturbed, and – I am sure I am not alone.
You stupid woman it’s nothing to do with the kids people like you cause the trouble to the kids by putting shit up like this your one sad lonelywoman , your the sick one ain’t you got anything better to do than try to break a good family up ,why don’t you go and find something else to get your kick
Hit A Nerve Have I.
I’m sorry but you have over stepped the mark here… Accusing someone of not being safe around their child and reporting them to social services because you have an issue with him hunting is not just pathetic but is actually quite crazy of you. Don’t you think if this had any relation to his parenting then maybe the police or the court would have already alerted social services. It seems to me you’re just looking for a way of handing out your own punishment and getting social services involved clearly gives you some sense of power when in reality you’re wasting their time, his time and tax payers money just to feed your own need to be important!! Get a life, you don’t get to decide who is able to look after their own kids.
You’re entitled to your views on hunting but your views on him being a parent are disgusting!! I can’t wait for social services to tell you to go away. I have no idea how old you are but you come across very immature
I am 54 Years Old. I personally, would Not be proud of my Dad, if he brought Shame such as this to his own Family, I am sure I am not the only one, who thinks these kind of people are Mentally Disturbed. Behaviour such as this is Not Normal, or to set this kind of Example to your Children. What the hell do you expect, as for wasting tax payers money, a bit of work he needs he wouldn’t have the energy to go digging as they call it, I don,t need my own power or to feel important. As for me getting a Life as you state: I am actually from Cynon Taff, grew up on a rough Council Estate, on Benefits, by a One Parent Family, I worked my guts out all my life, bought myself property, now own a Small Farm Personally, with a Small Animal Rescue, and I Can Prove Everything I Have Stated. So that’s how immature I am.
Maria, you don’t have to prove anything to these defenders of wildlife murdering scum, please do not give them too much information about yourself, this kind of scum and their associates might come and attack your rescue animals to get at you.
I’m not sure whether animal abusers are mentally disturbed or just pure evil, but please either way do not give them enough information to put your rescue animals at risk from the kind of scum we all regularly see exposed on here
I doubt they’ll be to concerned, after what you have been up to.
Thanks Dave for the Advice about Not giving out to much personal Info. Its seems he has lots of followers, some more professional comments than others, some backward scum. At least the Majority of us are Good People, and spend time fighting animal cruelty.
He is obviously Not Thinking Of His Children. Because of your Horrific Act of Cruelty, Your Children Will Be Bullied In School, And Also Bullied Out The Street. You have even clearly (Pleaded Guilty To Your Actions). You have Brought Shame to your Family.
The children in question are grown up and not young, I’m certainly not disturbed in the head and I can assure you that, Wasting social services time, when children out there really need their help, your entitled to your opinion but you have it all wrong believe me. How dare you imply that my children are not cared for
If they are grown up fair enough, I have Not Stated they are not cared for. What the hell do you expect.
You have Brought Shame to your family.
You also Stated: 2 vets inspected the dog and ruled out anything wrong with the dog.
Then Photo the Receipts and Post them on here.
Yes no problem I will get that information off my solicitor, and prove to you that 2 vets stated the dog was seen to be in good health and the loss of hair was down to diet (allergies)
I’ve just seen the RSPCA report .. You are a liar Jones.
Hmm, gone quiet. I think all of you have him bang to rights and he knows it.
It’s sure looking that way!! Or maybe now he’s now banned from keeping dogs he stuck his own head down a badger sett, spouted yet more bullshit and got his karma from an angry badger!!!
The reality is, we all have to take the consequences for our actions. Sooner or later Karma catches up with people. It also makes you think, what has he been up to previously before he got caught on this episode.
Evil bastard , is your father proud of you ? Why do you still trade when u are not registered with Companies House ?, you can’t talk your way out of this, you are absolutely despicable
I was talking to a man today he told me that he could remember your father bragging in the pub we’re he most of his time how is dogs killed a vixen and he cubs one lovely summers morning when you was a young child your father loved working the mountain with is dogs seeing what he could kill with them So don’t throw stones
Is that the best you could think of.
Is that the best you can come up with, are you one of the ones that Ran Away as He States, and left him to take the wrap.
I’m sorry don’t normally comment on things but when it comes to animals we got to speak up as they don’t have a voice. I think it’s disgusting how this guy and other people who have hurt or killed animals have escaped prison! Animals feel things just as humans do so why don’t get people get charged with mulurder, attempted murder, manslaughter or ABH etc for this animal cruelty. Hope this man gets treated the way he has treated those poor animals! Scum!
Looks like the “stick up for badger baiting scum” fan club have put in an appearance tonight telling us what a model citizen he is!!! So ok, he has a family, no evidence to suggest he’s a bad father but the fact remains HE WAS CONVICTED OF BADGER BAITING AND ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!!
So if “everybody who knows him” shares Ian Williams’ opinion that there’s nothing wrong with illegally digging up badger setts, setting dogs on the badgers and then failing to seek vet treatment for injured dogs, then maybe by his and his pro-hunting scum friends’ standards he “ain’t a bad person”!!!
But to quote Ian Williams’ “educated and intelligent” comment, fuck them all, we all know badger baiters and bloodsports enthusiasts are inadequate sick scum, and we will continue to fight all scum that take part in or support this barbaric practice until it is confined to the history books
(Bit Of Work They Want) they wouldn’t have the energy to go lamping or digging as they so call it.
I accept that being a wildlife murderer does not necessarily mean that you also mistreat your children, but what a shit example to set them!!!
Hopefully the children will grow up to decide for themselves that this kind of barbaric practice has no place in society and is totally unacceptable rather than go on to blindly follow their father’s appalling example
How many more times do I have to tell you lot!! I’m not and will never again do any hunting and have t done for well over a year, stop mentioning my children as they are innocent in all this and like my wife are 100% animal lovers as I am believe it or not I do t really care what any of you think anymore, your all going to continue to persecute me but I am not biting to your pathetic opinions anymore, I’m putting it into the hands of the law
Running to the law???
What happened to “snitches get stitches”???
Nobody has threatened your family, they have merely stated opinions on what kind of example you are setting with your badger baiting, so good luck with that one, last thing I knew there is no law against stating opinions online.
If all this has taught you to leave wildlife alone in future and you are really going to stop hunting then great, one down, thousands to go, but that does not entitle you to now call yourself an animal lover!!
If you are feeling persecuted because you can’t handle a few online comments, spare a thought for all the wildlife you have persecuted over the years and how they felt to have their family members ripped apart for sadistic pleasure and reflect on that.
I sincerely hope that you stick to your word about never hunting again, if that’s true then everybody on here has done a good job and saved some wildlife
I Doubt they’ll be to bothered after what you’ve been up to:
The Law.
He’s suddenly Developed A Fan Club,
Maybe it’s the 2 That He States: Ran Away when the police turned up, the ones he took the wrap for, the ones he Did Not Shop or give their Descriptions to the Police or Pointed them out on Photo’s, down the police station.
Snitches get stitches simple as that
Snitches get stitches how mature of you lol….
This man and his wife jade should be ashamed of themselves, obviously she knows what hes been doing….I hope that his kids are not bullied for their stupid fathers barbaric actions
All hunters and murderers of wildlife are sick in the head, if you can watch a poor defenceless animal get torn apart alive then there is definitely with no question that there is something wrong with you in the head, people know where you both live so I hope that your poor kids aren’t the ones to get the brunt of your evil behaviour, I feel sorry for them but you and your wife deserve the backlash and comments against you
You are evil through and through for what you have done and your poor dog must have suffered hugely by doing something it didnt want to do but has been made to do by you…you should have got bitten not the poor dog
How do you know my wife’s name I’m sorry but my wife or children are innocent in all this, I’ve had enough of this towards myself and my family I am going to the police tomorrow with all of this as it’s getting out of hand, how dare you bring my children and wife into this bullshit, you can all comment all you want from now on Im not going to respond anymore, I’m putting it in the hands of the law as your continuing to threaten my family
(There Is No Threats From Us – Though Are There).
We are merely pointing out that,
(YOU HAVE BROUGHT SHAME TO YOUR FAMILY)
If it was my Father who did this, I would personally be very Hurt, and Ashamed of my Dad. What the hell do you expect, You have previously Stated: that your Kids are Grown Up, so they will not be Bullied In School or while out Playing in the street ect.
YOU: Should have thought about the Consequences it would have on Your Own Family.
YOU: Have Brought This On Yourself, Nobody Else YOU.
As for the Law, I Doubt they’ll be to bothered, after what you’ve been up to.
Its obvious people are going to know who You and the Family are.
Your Stating your Children Here,
Yet Previously You Have Stated: They Are GROWN UP.
There Are No Threats Though Is There.
Like It Or Lump It –
(YOU HAVE BROUGHT SHAME ON THEM)
One of the Reasons I have spent so much time Commenting on this is because, I Myself and My Family are actually from the Valleys. I grew up, on a rough Council Estate, went to a rough School, On Benefits, by a One Parent Family.
Let this be a Clear Message To Your Followers On Here, with their Non Professional Comments. There are also very Good People down Cynon Taff, and will Not Tolerate this kind of behaviour, towards Animals.
My wife has nothing to do with this I am a grown man and make my own bad decisions how can you involve my wife in this when she knew nothing as I never spoke with her about it so please do not involve my wife and family they have done nothing
That was my Comments exactly, about Him Not Thinking About His Kids Being Bullied.
Then He Has Stated On Here:
(That His Kids Are Grown Up).
So now the “fan club” are on here bleating that it’s not fair to bring his family into it and accusing one lady of posting comments “for kicks” and telling her she should “get a life”
Since when have hunting scum ever given a fuck about the families of THEIR victims??? They’re quite happy to take a life and watch a mother badger or fox get ripped apart JUST FOR KICKS!!! and don’t give a fuck if it leaves her orphaned cubs to slowly starve to death, that’s if they don’t get to the cubs first and feed them to the hounds while they watch and laugh and feel like such big men killing a creature a fraction of their size.
So don’t you scum fucking dare to play the “think about the family” card and preach about how unfair it is to bring the family into it!!!
The day you stop taking part in or supporting such sick vile shit and GET A LIFE instead of keep taking lives and get YOUR kicks somewhere else without murdering innocent creatures is the day we will take the pressure off you
Well said.
For your information I will never take part in any hunting again in my life and haven’t done so in over a year
Give yourself a tap on the back then you fukin sadist spineless wanker!!!
I Applaud You: Well Said.
This is what I Have Received In My Email From (Mjoinir)
They Have Printed My Reply To It. But Not Printed This, What I Received From Him. Take A Look Below:
To the cunt that runs this site, because of the hunting ban more foxes and badgers and other animals have been murdered by gutless cowards with high powered rifles than any hunts have EVER killed fact. Reading the comments it looks like Dave wants to stick his cock up Maria’s arse. Or maybe up Misanthropics,lol. It would probably enjoy it. Most of you scum commenting about kids and stuff are bang out of order. SJW”s, nothing better to do, you probably believe everything the MSM tells you.
You cunts don’t like the truth, how long will this comment stay up?
Yeah I saw that post from Mjoinir in my emails too.
There we have it people, the mentality of a bloodsports supporter!!!
He also tried to post a demented racist and paranoid rant yesterday that we should all be more concerned about “p*k*s and MPs raping little white kids on an industrial level” and “the uk’s drug dealing police” and “whitey doesn’t matter”!!
Clearly fucked up in the head like all bloodsports supporters!
The one tiny part of truth in his rantings is that scum with high power air rifles are gutless cowards, but he obviously thinks it’s much braver somehow to hunt wildlife down with packs of dogs from the safety of a horse saddle!!
Again, the fucked up logic of a hunt supporter!!!
As for the rest of his foul mouthed rant and his disturbing obsession with arses (clearly some personal issues going on there!!) treat it with the contempt it deserves, I personally agree with blocking such irrelevant “ooh ain’t i shocking” type comments, but I will not be giving him the attention he so clearly craves by replying to any of his rabid rants unless he can show he had the brain cells to take part in a reasoned debate!!
This guy also breeds horses, owns a small holding with ponies, goats, chickens, etc. Breeds dogs, well his wife does. Just bought a King Charles a bitch obviously to breed, same as last year had 2 cockers which they breed & pugs. Then gets rid of the bitch once they’ve made there money. They don’t give a fuck for animals, only care about the ££££££
Trades his scrap unit in tonypandy illegally, not even registered, just one dodgy bastard. Goes lamping regularly, locks the dogs up in a shed. Nice life they got & glad they been taken off him, just the small holding they need to no about & all the other horses. Can’t run away from this, let this teach you a lesson cause you will loose everything cause of this & you deserve it.
Oooooh nice info, that’s very interesting seeing as he’s banned from keeping ALL animals for 4 years!
He reckons he’s going running to the police today to report all us nasty people for persecuting him lol!!
I’m sure he will love explaining to them why he still has a King Charles and horses, he can explain his dodgy unregistered scrapyard while he’s at it, after all he’ll have to show them this site when he makes his complaint!!!
He reckons he’s never going to hunt again, although he did state that he uses a gun “to humanely dispatch foxes when they’re a pest to farmers” so it’s unclear whether he feels that doesn’t count as hunting and plans to continue doing so??
Please keep us all informed if he continues hunting of any kind, as he has repeatedly stated he will never hunt again and even claimed he is an animal lover!!!!
I am wondering is this Shotgun Licensed, its a wonder they have Not Confiscated His Licence and His Gun. Another thing the Law needs to look into while hes down there.
Omg are you serious!!! Where the hell are you getting this false information from???
Shotgun…gone
Licence…gone
Put as much information on here as you like most of it is right but allot of it is wrong, I’m giving you the fuel to fire by commenting so I will never look on this site again or comment, I’m not getting g anywhere by telling you the truth so move on to the next victim
Sorry But This Site Stays Up INDEFINITELY.
Are You One Of The Ones He States: Ran Away, and Left Him To Take The Wrap.
Not very Professional are you.
Is that the best you can Think of in your vocabulary. Is that the best you can come up with. Don’t forget I grew up in the Valleys, on a Rough Council Estate. So you don’t shock me.
HE: Should Have Thought About His Family, and The Fact It Will Reflect On Them. (HE HAS BROUGHT SHAME TO HIS OWN FAMILY). I know how I would feel if it was My Father Who Did This, I personally would be very hurt and deeply ashamed. I Do Have Better Things To Do, as you question:
I have a Business To Run and A Small Farm, and a Small Animal Rescue. I will always find some Time to Help Animals as much as I can, Practically / Financially as best as I can, as well as on the Website, also Signs all the Petitions, I always do my Best and always Will. I hope this Answers all your Non Professional Comments in your little Brain.
I Replied To Mjolnir Post In Detail: ends in little Brain at the bottom.
(Mjolnir Being One Of Jones Followers)
But The Post He Originally Wrote, (Was So Bad and Foul),
They Have Not Published It On Here.
(I Personally Wished They Had) Its a pity you all could not have read it. Then You Would Have Seen What Scum One Of Jones Followers Are.
They have just Published only my Answer to His Post.
The Disturbing thing is: Jones Himself, he seems to have a lot of Followers, some more Professional than others, and some just pure Scum.
Oh and I do have a licence for my business feel
Free to look me up and come see ???????? Again…false information from idiots that don’t have a clue
You Won’t Have Any Of Our Custom,
but you’ll obviously have your own followers custom.
All the shit I have been reading on posts here! Typical keyboard warriors. I personally know Mathew who since a very young age I have had the pleasure of calling him my friend and I’m guessing none of you fuck wits have had the pleasure of knowing him. He had to plead guilty to avoid jail as the British justice service is corrupt, he is a loving doting father and a loving family who loves him.Hes not a cruel man as of what the media has made out he is! I am personally giving all you clowns the pleasure of telling you all to get fucked and crawl in2 your little holes! And mentioning his wife and kids fuck u all
Why instead of giving this man grief on here, and being key board warriors put your name address and contact details so he can personally chat with each and every1 1 of u. Or is that not what you signed up for
None of them would say any of this shit especially bringing his family and children into it if they weren’t hiding behind private profiles the gutless bastards… Go on Facebook and message him directly saying this shit ???????? No easier to hide behind your screen like a bunch of pussies!!!!
As the saying goes
Run your dogs not your mouths ????????????????
I have just Answered This Point In Gareth Boyce’s Post.
Everyone else is obviously entitled to their Opinions, the same as yourself.
The Disturbing Thing Is:
I can see Jones has lots of Followers, some are more Professional than others, some our down right Scum.
(Also if he’s is Innocent / Why Did He Not Appeal).
What: So Us and our Animals can be Targeted Personally, by Badger Baiting Scum and All Of Jones Followers.
That would be very foolish of us, to put ourselves and animals at risk.
They Don,t Allow or Print Personal Details on here anyway, such as Phone, Personal Email or Addresses.
I am going for an appeal I was advised wrongly by the prosecution on the day and it’s unfair
If your’e Innocent: all I can say is – Good Luck with your Appeal.
This man was not convicted of badger baiting,he was convicted of interferring with a active sett,which is very different.no wild animal was found to be injured or harmed.if you want to try and ruin people’s lives more than the courts have,please state the correct information.dont you think this man has suffered enough,he has had all his working dogs taken off him,which he probably loved as much as you love your house pets.why are the veggie brigade never satisfied and always got to keep pushing.
Hi Dave and Maria davies why don’t you leave Mathew a contact number and address so this can be resolved or you also key board warriors
The reason people don’t leave contact numbers or addresses on here is simple….
When certain people can’t win an argument with words, they resort to threats or violence!
Everybody has the right to express an opinion without fear of violence, it’s called a democracy!!
And no, I’m NOT suggesting that is necessarily the case with yourself or Matthew, to be fair he has shown no signs of that, neither has anybody on here made threats against him.
But looking at some of the other comments, that is not necessarily the case with some of the bloodsports supporters.
You and Matthew himself repeatedly claim he is innocent, if this is genuinely the case why does he not appeal the conviction in court and clear his name?
This is going round in circles now, the discussion on this would probably have died down by now, had there not been endless hunt supporters coming on here hurling abuse at people simply exercising their right to comment, it has almost become a debate on hunting itself rather than Matthew’s case.
He has stated he will not be hunting again, so as far as I’m concerned I’m done commenting on it, but if you read some of the other comments from hunt supporters in general and look into hunt supporters track record of thuggery and violence towards protesters peacefully demonstrating, you will understand why nobody on here wishes to share contact details.
Doubtless I will now get a barrage of replies screaming “pussy”, etc just because I do not wish to stoop to their level and have a fist fight about it but I will be ignoring such messages, they will simply go to prove further the thuggish mentality of most bloodsports supporters
This man was not convicted of badger baiting he was convicted of disturbing a badger set which is very different. No badger was found to be injured or harmed, if you want to try and destroy a mans life more than the courts have already done please make sure your comments are all facts and correct.
I don’t know any of you on here but I will say one thing. What this man has been convicted of is awful. Guilty or not the system isn’t always fair and that’s coming from someone who works in the justice system. However if this man is guilty he needs to accept what he’s done is very wrong, his family are ultimately suffering as well, he deserves to be punished however it does not give anyone the right to harass his family members, threaten social services involvement etc. Those of you doing this should be ashamed, there are many children needing the services and the resources are not bountiful. The man has done wrong…. Very wrong… But you’re the ones punishing his innocent family for it. Grow up seriously and hope the justice system never fails you should that be the case
The main concern for me here is that the dog was badly injured and he did nothing about it… He said he would post the vet reports of the vets he saw … where are they? Even if he is not involved in the badger baiting he is still guilty of animal cruelty by failing to get help for the dog
