TWO men are due to appear in court accused of animal hunting offences in the New Forest.
Police made arrests after responding to reports dogs were being used to hunt a wild animal on private land at a farm in the Ringwood area shortly before 7pm on Sunday 13th September last year.
Subsequently Stephan Cooper and Shane Manyweathers each face two charges of hunting a wild mammal with a dog contrary to Schedule 1 of the Hunting Act.
Cooper (29), of Rockley Road, Poole, and 28-year-old Manyweathers, of Frobisher Avenue, also in Poole, are both due to appear at Southampton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 6th April.
