Tremendous support for live exports demoA cold and windy day at Dover docks last Saturday did nothing to deter hundreds of protestors travelling from all over the country to voice their anger at the resumption of Live Exports. The demo took place just one day after the first shipment of calves had been exported to Europe. Representatives from Viva!, Animal Aid, Compassion in World Farming, the Vegan Society and the Green Party all spoke passionately about the ways in which everyone can help bring an end to live exports. |

The 700-strong procession marched through Dover and down to the docks, with banners and placards and plenty of noise. Despite the sorrowful prospect of live exports resuming from the port, all in all it was a tremendously uplifting day. Just to see how many people are willing to attend demonstrations and become active in the fight against animal cruelty gives real hope for the future. |
