Hunt protester finds all his car tyres flat

A Dorchester father, who actively campaigns against blood sports, says his family is living in fear after being targeted by drunken pro-hunters.

Carpenter Neil Buckoke, aged 38, woke for work on Monday morning to find the four brand-new tyres on his car were flat.

Mr Buckoke blames rogue supporters of the South Dorset Hunt, one of whom he says approached him at its meet on 19 February and said: “How’re your tyres? I am surprised you got here.”

Mr Buckoke, who was last monitoring hunters at the Cattistock Hunt’s meet on Saturday 19 February, said he has previously had his car windows smashed and the brakes tampered with, as well as countless verbal attacks
