Anti-hunting campaigner gets bravery award
4:30pm Wednesday 11th July 2007 in News
SUPER gran Judy Gilbert has been rewarded in the House of Commons for her bravery during hunting rallies.
The 60 year-old was presented with the Gwen Barter Award for Bravery on June 29 by the League Against Cruel Sports president, One Foot in the Grave star, Annette Crosbie.
In just one month of the 2006 hunting season, she was knocked violently to the ground and had to jump clear of a 4X4 driven by a supporter.
Judy, who lives with husband Barry in Beacons Bottom, said: "Hunting with dogs is banned but we need to ensure that the law is obeyed and the ban enforced."
