Jail for animal rights extremists who stole body of elderly woman from her grave

Three animal rights extremists involved in the theft of the body of an elderly woman from her grave were yesterday jailed for 12 years each in what is seen by police and prosecutors as a groundbreaking case.

The militants, including a vicar's son and a psychiatric nurse, led what they called a "holocaust" against a farm which bred guinea pigs for medical research. Jon Ablewhite, John Smith and Kerry Whitburn pursued a six-year hate campaign against Darley Oaks farm in Newchurch, Staffordshire. Whitburn's girlfriend, Josephine Mayo, was sentenced to four years for a lesser part in the campaign.

Almost 100 people connected to the farm were targeted. Explosive devices were sent to some, mail threatening to kill and maim to others. There were attacks on homes, cars and businesses. The relentless campaign culminated in the theft of the body of Gladys Hammond, a close relative of the Hall family who ran the farm, from her grave in October 2004.

Just remember these people the next time you hear the Left waffle on about how "compassionate" they are.

It's a lie.

That sort of thing wouldn't have gone on so long in a more freedom and individual responsibility sort of society.

The western world has become so PC that these vermin couldn't be dealt with until something as drastic as grave robbery had to occur.

Here in my neck of the woods in the Blue Ridge Mountains, that sh*t wouldn't fly.

The farmers would find 'em and fix 'em.
