MEGAN THORNBURY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE INVOLVED IN ASSAULTS AND HUNT SABOTAGE

Megan Thornbury, a 44-year-old resident of Gloucestershire, has been publicly identified as a member of the South Wales Hunt Sabs, an organization known for its opposition to hunting activities. Initially, Thornbury operated under the radar, with her identity kept confidential. However, her involvement in criminal activities came to light in December 2015 when she was convicted on multiple assault charges, some involving victims under the age of 18.

The court proceedings revealed that Thornbury was found guilty of assaulting at least two individuals, including minors. As a consequence of her actions, she was sentenced to perform 80 hours of community service and was also fined £410 by Hereford Magistrates Court. The case drew significant attention from the local community, especially from the families affected by her violent conduct.

One of the victims' mothers, who has two children involved in the incident, expressed her distress and trauma, stating, “I can’t describe how it feels to see someone attack your son in front of you.” The incident in question involved Thornbury physically assaulting a boy who was leaning on her vehicle. After she exited her car, she proceeded to beat the boy, causing emotional and physical harm.

In addition to the assault on the minor, the victim's mother recounted that Thornbury also physically grabbed her hair during the altercation, resulting in a sore scalp that persisted for a week. This aggressive behavior underscores Thornbury’s vindictive tendencies, which have been further evidenced by her actions on social media.

Following the assault incident, Thornbury lost her job as a nursery nurse. The circumstances surrounding her dismissal remain unclear, but it is widely suspected that her violent behavior was a contributing factor. Reports indicate that she is currently working as a therapist; however, her professional qualifications and credentials have not been publicly verified.

Beyond her criminal conduct, Thornbury has demonstrated a pattern of vindictiveness. An example of this was her negative review of a small pub on Facebook, which she rated poorly solely because members of the hunt chose to dine there. A screenshot of her social media activity, including this review, has been submitted as evidence in ongoing investigations.
