Cathy is being used as a scapegoat, when she was the one traumatised and horrified by the cruel slaughter she was forced to watch

this woman has donr what so many sane, law-abiding peopke wanted to do but didn't. she has my upmost respect and support. she does not deserve to go through the juducial system for caring about life.

Disgusting treatment of a compassionate , caring human , something we could do with a lot more of ! People should not be expected to stand by and do nothing while hired thugs rampage through the countryside taking pot shots at innocent creatures ! My heart breaks for this poor lady :'(

Shame on the Government, the police, DEFRA and the NFU! It's all of them that should be in court.

RIDICULOUS! This woman was not only speaking up for the innocent animals but for most of the UK population who were also against the badger cull!

And they wonder why we are all losing faith in this countries judicial system. This so called prosecution case should be stopped now. It is utterly ridiculous !

She is one of the heroes not one of the villains. She should be praised not punished!

A farce and waste of public money, to say nothing of uneccessary stress to Cathy

There should have been no shooting with public present. This was a deliberately provocative action by cull operatives to cause distress to protesters. Then when the lady in question became distressed and reacted accordingly she was arrested. Very bad behaviour by so called professionals and extremely poor judgement by police prosecuting.

This lady is a token scapegoat, just like the Badgers she valiantly tried to protect....Badgers are a protected species and there is no proof that the ones she was protecting were diseased.
