Pigeon fancier gets £60,000 after dog attack
A pigeon fancier is to be awarded more than £60,000 in damages for having his stock killed by hounds from a local hunt club, a High Court judge ruled on Tuesday.
Madam Justice McBride backed Maurice Weir’s account that the dogs destroyed 59 of his racing birds and injured others after breaking into his premises in Loughgall seven years ago.
She rejected defence arguments that it was a fraudulent and fabricated claim.
