Hunter filmed stabbing and torturing fox with pitchfork
A hunter was caught stabbing and torturing a fox with a pitchfork in a horrific incident filmed by a secret camera.
Paul O’Shea, 49, has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty after he was exposed by anti-hunt campaigners.
The disturbing video, filmed on 4 December 2021, shows O’Shea dangling the fox by its tail and using a pitchfork to stab its neck.
He also pins it against a tree in a woodland near Coggeshall, Essex.
Last week, O’Shea admitted to hunting a wild mammal with dogs and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
