Teacher should NOT have been fired for kicking horse: Supporters of woman filmed hitting animal say she was stopping it from running into the road and shouldn't be sacked over something 'unrelated to her job' A clip captured by anti-hunt activists went viral, sparking outrage nationally and globally. The Hunting Office also criticised the footage and said the perpetrator does not belong to its hunting associations, adding that 'it expects the highest level of animal welfare at all times'. The Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs, who say they use 'non-violent direct action to save wildlife', shared the video on its Twitter page and tagged the RSPCA. In the aftermath of the video going viral, Mrs Moulds received abuse and death threats and moved to a secret location away from her semi-detached £350,000 property for several days.A woman dressed in cream breeches and a navy jacket then grabs the reins of the animal before kicking its body and slapping it repeatedly as it tries to pull away. 'However, I do think that it is an overreaction regarding Sarah Moulds. A witch hunt unrelated to teaching.' Meanwhile, BBC Springwatch presenter and zoologist Megan McCubbin said the footage showed 'disgusting behaviour'. She said: 'Yet another ugly side of an activist some call 'sport'.' The neighbour added: 'I don't know what happened and in what context but what is now happening to Sarah is horrible. She's terrified of being in her own home in case someone targets her or her kids there.' 'However, we are unable to discuss complaints about specific people and what action may have been taken. An RSPCA spokeswoman said: 'We understand there is a lot of interest in this incident and we would like to reassure people we will always look into complaints made about animal welfare.The group said that the incident took place on November 6 after a Cottesmore Hunt, one of the oldest hunts in Britain, and the incident demonstrated 'violence running through their veins'. 'To lose her job on the basis of that? I hope she doesn't read the spiteful comments here. Humans suffer too.' Meanwhile another person said: 'A farmer told me I don't understand country ways and foxes need to be controlled as they kill for fun. Probably. But I don't like the class divide of ritualistic blood sports. The RSPCA confirmed it had seen the footage which it described as 'upsetting', with a business card seen outside Mrs Moulds's home days after the incident.
