This is the moment a farmer confronted self-styled hunt saboteurs who were trespassing on his land whilst ‘trying to disrupt a hunt.’<\/p>\n
Footage shows the farmer clash with activists who ‘don’t know anything about the country’ as he tried to kick them off his land in Kent last Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The video, shared by the West Kent Hunt Sabs, shows two men with their faces covered on a mini tractor, with another in a waxed jacket walking alongside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the waxed jacket-clad man tells the trespassers to ‘get off my property’ and that they do not understand how the countryside works.<\/p>\n
The Kent Hounds is a pack of hounds formed by the The East Kent, Ashford Valley, West Street and Tickham hunts which have existed for more than 200 years.<\/p>\n
The group is based in the village of Elham, south of the cathedral city of Canterbury. They follow the pack to ensure no foxes are worried or harmed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The man can be heard shouting: ‘Go on, off my property. Off my property now’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the three men shepherd the saboteur off the land, an altercation then occurs<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The man then appears to lift his arms at her and her phone falls to the floor<\/p>\n

As the three men\u00a0shepherd the activists off the land, an altercation then occurs.<\/p>\n
The female saboteur can he heard telling them she is walking to a gate to exit the field and the farmer then says she is going the wrong way.<\/p>\n
‘I’m walking, I’m walking,’ she says before the man then appears to lift his arms at her and her phone falls to the floor.<\/p>\n
The sab, who did not want to be identified, claims that she was filming from some distance and had not intended to provoke an aggressive response from her trespassing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
