Animal Exports Vigil

To mark the 6-month anniversary of the CIWF vigil against live animal exports 100 activists staged a protest outside the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food at the end of February. On the steps of MAFF the Grim Reaper, swathed in black robes, mowed down several masked 'sheep' with his scythe. The highlight of the morning was an appearance by Douglas Hogg who was not impressed with the activists' antics, waving his hat at those concerned. The vigil will be continuing until all live exports from the UK come to an end. To take part in the vigil contact Liza on 01 1 43 6803.
