Carnival Against Vivisection! - Saturday 6th Sept
09-07-2008 20:38
Make your stand against the vivisection industry and animal abusers with us at the Carnival Against Vivisection at Sequani Labs on Saturday September 6th it starts at 12 noon meeting opposite the Ledbury Train Station on the grass verge. This protest is in solidarity with Sean Kirtley who was imprisoned by the state for supposedly organising protests against Sequani. Even though he has never broken the law himself at Sequani (and the police agree) he was sent to prison under new SOCPA legislation which shatters the right to organise and protest in a free democracy.Ilkley Moor Grouse Shoot - Update & Action Alert

Vienna, Monday 7th July - Outrage at two more months' detention for Austrian animal activistsWelsh Demo for the Badgers, Colwyn Bay, 26th July
07-07-2008 19:14
Demonstration in Colwyn Bay outside the Welsh Assembly Office, 2pm Saturday 26th JulyThe delight with which the news that Hilary Benn had rejected a badger cull soon turned sour with the news that Elin Jones from the Welsh Assembly still proposes to go ahead with a cull in Wales. Hilary Benn's decision was based on the results of a ten year study costing the tax payer £50 million which concluded that a cull of badgers would in the long run make a bad situation worse.
Badgers spared in England, but not Wales
07-07-2008 16:41
The Secretary of State for DEFRA, Hilary Benn, announced today that he has decided against a cull of badgers in England to control TB in cattle. The decision came after protest actions last month with a rally attended by over 300 supporters and the sabotaging of five offices owned by the National Farmers Union (NFU) and the Farmers Union of Wales (FUW). Mr Benn also has resounding public support for sparing badgers. A DEFRA public consultation on the issue received submissions from 47,000 respondents, ninety-five per cent of whom opposed a cull. Despite this, The Welsh Assembly has voted to allow badger culling to go ahead in Wales.
The government-appointed Independent Scientific Group announced in June 2007 - following a decade of research - that killing badgers would not significantly reduce bovine TB and could make matters worse. It also declared that TB probably first spreads from cattle to badgers, where it remains stable, provided the badgers are undisturbed. Research has demonstrated that culling causes massive disturbance and has the effect of increasing the incidence and spread of the disease. Benn has come under unrelenting pressure from the farming industry to give permission for the destruction of around 170,000 badgers - half the population.
