Animal activists spark fury after carrying lambs off King’s Sandringham estate in latest stunt
Tory MP Peter Bone said: “When a very, very tiny minority is ruining the lives of other people, action needs to be taken. If this were to continue and the current laws are not strong enough, the Government will have to introduce new laws.
The three women said they rescued the lambs dubbed Sammy, Sunny and Sooty, to save them from slaughter. Nicola Noble of the National Sheep Association said: “The mothers have likely spent the last 24 hours scouring the field for their lambs, bleating endlessly with no hope of finding them. “Being bundled into the back of a dark van would have been highly distressing for the sheep involved – not to mention the risk of potential disease contamination. The lambs, I imagine, will be endlessly bleating, hopelessly calling out in search for their mothers.”The group said on its website that the incident "marks the first" of its "high-profile 'open rescues' this summer".
