Wurzles, 2 demos and at the end of a long day…cider
Animal rights or animal cruelty…whose cider you on?!
On October 16th we visited Noah’s ark zoo farm for another demo. Five activists enjoyed the usual numerous hoots of support. We happily turned away several cars whose inhabitants vowed never to return! One nutter tried to drive half heartedly at the activist leafleting and missed…what a twat! ! Imagine if we drove at zoo staff !
We returned in the evening for a second demo at the farm/zoo/ark/mad house as the Wurzles were playing there to celebrate Anthony Bush’s ( zoo owner ) 500th year of farming…well maybe 50th ! Not many people turned up for the concert and the ten activists were joined by six zoo staff…they didn’t explain why they were there and we didn’t feel like talking to them so we presume the music was that bad that they thought they’d try and hangout with us…yuk! One young lad from the zoo asked us if he could pray for us to which we replyed…”um no ta, you’re ok mate!” or words to that effect. One of the most surreal moments of the campaign came when an activist dressed as a wurzle, complete with wellies, straw hat and farmer’s jacket, had an argument with one of the staff…it was nothing serious but it left you wondering how many times you’re likely to see a scarecrow argue with a creationist! Then we went home and drank cider and laughed!
If you would like to join us for the demo next saturday please get in touch via barc (at) hotmail.co.uk
