Sabs Unmasked

Michele Burton

Location: Kidderminster

Affiliations: Shropshire Hunt Saboteurs

Employment: Burton lives on a pastoral farm. She was briefly the director of a company, Animalkin Ltd, that specialised in ‘animal welfare’ and the raising of horses.

Michele Burton, who believes that ‘our journey begins when we respect and honour all life in our shared world’, was filmed kicking one hound and very nearly running over others on Ludlow Hunt last year.

Animal Self-Medication

Burton is a keen adherent of Caroline Ingraham’s school of Applied Zoopharmacognosy (animal self-medication), a practice that has been described as ‘dangerous’ and ‘delusional’ by the veterinary world.
