Perhaps those antis who have never trespassed on private land, assaulted a person or a horse, damaged another's property or otherwise broken the law, whether convicted or otherwise,

That would be me then. There are ways of protesting and sabotaging without breaking the law. Going for a nice long walk in the country, down legal paths and bridleways, across fields with the landowners' permission, whilst dragging a nice bundle of aniseed soaked rags is not against any law and in fact, since the 'Right to Roam' act, is even easier to do!

I'm all for people enjoying themselves, but not for the sake of cruelty or willful damage.
