Animal rights gathering in Notts

Notts IMC | 19.03.2010 15:37 | Animal Liberation

On the weekend of 12-14 March, Nottingham Animal Rights and Veggies hosted the national animal rights spring gathering at Nottingham's Sumac Centre. This was a weekend of networking, workshops, discussions, actions and social activities and well attended by activists from across the county.

This included a city-wide (and beyond) Day of Action on Saturday 13 March, with campaigns against shops selling fur, foie gras and KFC, Greyhound Action, a demo against the 'great' British Circus, a vegan free food giveaway & McDonalds demo and a mass hunt sab. Following the day's campaigning, French Living have pledged to discontinue the sale of foie gras and thanks to the presence of Nottingham Hunt Saboteurs and many friends, no foxes were killed by the Grove and Rufford Hunt, on the last day of their season. Meanwhile residents at Waddington, near Lincoln, have pledged that the Great British Circus will never return.

On Sunday, Notts Stop the BNP got news that Nick Griffin was to speak at the Nag's Head, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Due to the short notice only a few campaigners were able to make the hastily organised protest. Fortunately, three minibuses of animal rights activists from the gathering arrived to show their opposition to the BNP.

Upcoming event; Animal Rights Summer Gathering, 27-30 August, near Northampton.

Rights for our wildlife

27.03.2013 01:07

Alian white farm Geese on several local park lakes are causing death and disruption to our natural waterfowl and destroying the Eco systems on these lakes ie over population, pollution and erosion of lakes, trees falling down denuding the islands on the lakes, its cruel to leave these animals to fend for themselves they should be on a farm were they can be looked after properly, the local council are responsable for this, but are afraid to do any thing about it, it's also a Heath hazard to our children, we have all these wildlife program's but you can never get to talk to a wildlife expert its all a money making sham.
