Death March

On the 25th July 40 people marched through Bude in North Cornwall to protest against Britains largest mink farm. Woodview Farm is 10 miles down the road from Bude town centre. The event went well with protesters wearing black with death masks and carrying banners and a black cardboard coffin with furs covered in fake blood hanging over the sides. The march lasted approximately 2 hours covering almost 3 miles of roads in the heart of Bude, stopping people in their tracks (window shopping) with the sound of the bell that was being carried to signal the approach. The police were good natured at the event until the coffin entered the local Conservative Club at which point they stepped in and ordered us to leave the establishment standing guard at the doors until we had passed. The event ended with a demo at the farm in Youlstone.
