An activist from People Against Cruelty to Animals was assaulted today [28-07-04] whilst taking part in a stop live exports demonstration at the national sheep exhibition 2004 at the Three counties showground, Malvern, Worcestershire.

During the peaceful demo which was comprised of eight activists using megaphones and holding placards, a six foot thug rushed out of the exhibition gates with fist raised and chased an activist across the busy road that runs alongside the Three counties. After catching up with the activist, slammed him to the floor causing massive abrasions to the activists hands and then grabbed the activists megaphone and smashed it to smitherines next to him. The thug then proceeded to scarper into a nearby field full of around 1,000 4x4 'poor farmers' vehicles and disappeared like lightning. Activists pursued this person but he was running so fast it was impossible to keep up, this thug was running for his life.

The activist in question, now with hands bandaged, is pressing charges for assault and hopefully by the fingerprints that this low life will have left on the megaphone he grabbed and smashed, may be apprehended, but we hold no hopes up ...

The animal abuse industry is rampant with violent thugs that defend that despicable industry, that industry is after all built upon violence, terrorism and murder. How many people do we assault that are from the enemy's side at demonstrations?

Activists tried to contact the sheep exhibition 2004 event organiser Ms Julie Sedgwick TEL: 01388 609322 to tell her of the incident, she laughed and then put the phone down.
