Another two weeks, and more, of animal rights campaigning in Nottingham, Newark, Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire

Events From 9th March 2012
-----------------

With the Government dragging its feet over the widely accepted proposal to ban the use of wild animal in Circuses the worst of the lot, the 'great' British Circus, is in out area, currently in Newark and probably soon in Leicester and Nottingham. They have stopped publishing dates and venues in advance so we need to look out for posters announcing where they will be.

Meanwhile the all-human circus American Circus opens on The Forest next Wednesday 14th til Sunday 18th. To enjoy circus skills & thrills without the cruelty, you could watch that instead.

Saturday 17th Match - Flannels day of action. Anyone up for this?

'Boycott Flannels' is a national campaign to end the sale of real fur at Flannels by urging them to sign an official statement and use a fur-free policy. The fur industry is responsible for horrific cruelty to countless animals for so-called fashion. Join us in the campaign for a fur-free Flannels! http://www.boycottflannels.net/
