There's been a story in the news recently about a young Yorkshire pig farmer who heard intruders in his pig shed at 5am and decided to tackle them. His actions have resulted in him being arrested for assault.
Sorry this a link to the Daly Mail but they have a video of the incident
I'd be interested to hear what members thoughts are on what they would do in similar circumstances?
What should we do when people intentionally trespass on our farms, to either interfere with our livelihoods and/or steal and damage things?
Should we stand back and do nothing?
Should we take action of some kind to eject them from our property?
There's a petition on the government website lobbying for trespass to become a criminal offence:
"Make trespass on British farms a criminal offence. Protect British farmers!"

This shocking video shows the moment a pig farmer 'kung fu kicks' an animal rights activist who staged a protest at his farm before threatening to 'shoot you all'.
