Hillgrove Cats Demo

Hillgrove Farm has been breeding cats and kittens for the vivisection industry for the last thirty years. Charging £400 per kitten, this is big business.

Six national demonstrations have taken place since Save the Hillgrove Cats was formed in August 1997 and numbers at the demos have soared from a few hundred to over 3,000 at the most recent event on 18th April. These people are not merely hardcore activists as some of the press would have us believe but are many ordinary people from around the Oxford area.

The cost of policing Hillgrove Farm in the last 8 months is around L 1 million: local taxpayers are apparently angry that this huge sum of money is being spent to protect a concentration camp for cats with the police being used as a private security force.

The 1000 cats and kittens at Hillgrove Farm are kept in windowless sheds and all of the cats sold end up in vivisection laboratories all over the world. The breeding queens are bred from continuously until they are exhausted - then they are destroyed.

Save the Hillgrove Cats next national demonstration takes place on Sunday May 31st 1998 - meet 12 noon. Contact0121 632 6460.
