Farmers in the UK say they are facing intimidation and damage connected to gangs hunting hares. According to reports, perpetrators target farm entrances and fields, smashing gates and destroying crops. Some farmers respond by barricading access to their land, including using concrete blocks and fallen trees, in an effort to prevent further entry and prevent harm to their property. The reporting describes a pattern of threats and vandalism associated with hare-hunting activity, with farmers left dealing with both physical damage and disruption to agricultural work. The accounts emphasize the measures farmers take to protect their fields when they believe gangs may return. While the reports focus on the actions taken at affected farms, they do not provide detailed information on arrests or formal charges. The issue is presented as a local and ongoing problem affecting rural landowners and farm workers, prompting heightened security steps and calls for action.
