A defiant hunt saboteur refuses to let bone-breaking beatings stop him saving animals.<\/p>\n

Fitz, 25, grew up on team hunt, but that swiftly changed when he saw up close the brutality of wildlife being terrorised for fun.<\/p>\n

Fox hunting has been outlawed in the UK since 2004 but the countryside is still crawling with the posh tradition, which sees hounds savagely pull their prey apart.<\/p>\n

As a result animal-loving saboteurs up and down the country take it upon themselves to gate crash hunts, in the hope they can be the difference between life and death for vulnerable wildlife.<\/p>\n

Northants Sabs say their efforts on the front line are strictly non-violent but Fitz claims the same cannot be guaranteed of all hunters.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old who spends the rest of his week working as a tree surgeon, told the Daily Star: "I've personally been chucked up against trees, I've been hit in the ribs. <\/p>\n

"I've been punched in the head. They're constantly trying to trip you over, mainly it's school play ground tactics really, like the whole pushing and shoving without being caught on camera."<\/p>\n

According to Fitz, his injuries have been mild compared to others.<\/p>\n

He alleged: "A mate of mine who I sab with got six broken ribs, a broken collar bone when he was trampled by a horse.<\/p>\n
