This is the moment a hunter was caught stabbing a fox with a pitchfork in a horrific incident filmed by a secret camera. Paul O’Shea, 49, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty after he was exposed by anti-hunt campaigners on December 4 last year.
A disturbing video shows O'Shea dangling the fox by its tail and using a pitchfork to stab its neck. The fox desperately tries to defend itself as O'Shea pins it against a tree in a woodland near Coggeshall, Essex.
On June 22 O'Shea admitted to hunting a wild mammal with dogs and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. In a video shared by North London Hunt Saboteurs the fox is seen fighting with a small black dog after getting caught in netting.
