This powerful footage shows animal rights protesters at Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Brewery after he allowed a hunt whose members have been fined for animal cruelty offences onto his land.

Campaigners descended on the site in Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucs., with banners reading “Jezza, hands of me badgers” and “Stop those dirty hunts”. Three Counties Hunt Saboteurs and Gloucestershire Badger Office said they organised the protest after Clarkson allowed The Heythrop Hunt onto his estate. They said the group had been accused on 'numerous' occasions of breaching the 2004 Hunting Act - which bans the use of dogs to capture and kill wild animals.

And this had three demands of Clarkson: that he not allow fox hunting on his lands, not allow anyone to disturb badger setts and to not take part in a ‘badger cull’. Despite chanting slogans directed at the ex-Top Gear presenter, whose show Clarkson’s Farm has millions of fans, they also hoped to start a dialogue with him. Clarkson is not suspected of breaking the law in any way.
