BNP activists who were en route last weekend (7th) to Paris to take part in the Front National’s annual family festival, BBR, joined in a street protest to express their disgust and anger with the decision by Dover Harbour Board to allow the passage of 12,000 live sheep to France.
The BNP is seriously concerned that the export of animals has resumed after a nine month cessation of live shipments. To make matters worse, these sheep were destined to meet a rising demand throughout October for sheep meat amongst French Muslims, during the run up to the Islamic Festival of Eid.
So the sheep suffer on their long voyage and meet their fate at the hands of those who conduct ritual slaughter.

Live Exports from Dover - Gateway to Hell!
Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 06, 2005 - 05:44 PM
In the early hours of Wed 5th October; 22 Trucks laden with British lamb sailed from Dover Harbour to Dunkerque in France. Out of the 22 trucks entering the harbour, only 2 were British; one being Valley Transport from the Scottish borders, the remainder being various Dutch
vehicles.
It appears that there were NO veterinary inspections (ie. visual inspections) undertaken on any of the trucks whilst in the harbour. According to sources at DEFRA, only checks of the Paperwork (Route/Journey Plans etc) were done. Dover harbour no longer has the inspection gantry for livestock inspections within it, and now the only means of checking an upper
tier on a livestock trailer is for an LVI or other inspector to climb up a stepladder and peer in !

ironically, it might seem, a bed rock of their support is within the farming community of north/mid wales and cheshire, from whence much of the lamb and mutton to be found slaughtered in such places, begin their merry lifes.
i cant' help feeling that an oppurtunity was missed with the mass culling of cattle during the bse outbreak. instead of restocking an alternative could have been sought.
maybe when we get round to the fash we won't make the same mistake..................
