Natasha Avery was moved yesturday to HMP Send, Ripley Road, Woking, Surrey GU23 7LJ. Natasha is a commited vegan activist, who has dedicated her life to saving animals from abuse.

In the past she's been involved in the closure of Consort Kennels, Hillgrove Cat Farm, and over the last few years she has dedicated herself to SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty)  http://www.shac.net. A campaign with the aim to close down the notorious animal testing facility, Huntingdon Life Sciences.

However on May 1st 2007, Natasha was arrested and remanded into custody after 32 separate police raids, involving 700 police officers in the UK, The Netherlands and Belgium. On 30th July 2008 Natasha entered a plea of guilty which will give her a third off her original sentence. On 21st January 2009 she was given a sentence of 9 years imprisonment, which is the maximum sentence she could have been given with the third off.

Please write Natasha letters of support and get out there and demonstrate for SHAC! See her support page for what you can send to Natasha.
