This included a city-wide (and beyond) Day of Action on Saturday, with Fur Free Nottingham, foie gras campaigns, KFC, Greyhound Action, the 'great' British Circus, a vegan free food giveaway & McDonalds demo and a mass hunt sab.

ARC meetings are a great opportunity to meet up with other activists from all over the country, to catch up on the latest news about the current campaigns, and to swap ideas, tactics, skills and information.

- Animism and Activism: spiritual methods to empower activism
- Legal
- Media & PR
- Animal First Aid

The Animal Rights Coalition is an informal network which exists to promote cooperation and to spread information between the various groups and individuals working throughout the UK to stop animal abuse.


The city-wide (and beyond) Day of Action, included Fur Free Nottm, foie gras campaign, KFC, Greyhound Action, the 'great' British Circus and a vegan free food giveaway McDonalds demo.

Stop Press: Following today's campaigning French Living have pledged to discontinue the sale of Foie Gras.

... and thanks the the presence of Nottingham Hunt Saboteurs and many friends, NO FOXES WERE KILLED at 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. (Their next stop is Skegness:  http://www.veggies.org.uk/event.php?ref=1536)

... also the planning meeting to held by Nocton Dairy Farms Ltd at Nocton Village Hall, LN4 2BH was canceled ... co-incidence?. This is in relation to a proposed dairy farm which would be the largest in the UK and would imprison 8,100 cows in sheds over 22 acres.
