GM Protests Wales
200+ people gathered outside Castle Cenlas farm in Mathry, Pembrokeshire on April 28th to protest plans to plant GM crops. Two fields on the farm owned by former Tory MP Tony Marlow are due to be used soon. Organic farmers and residents were among furious protesters whose livelihoods will be threatened by contamination. Yellow biodegradable helium-filled balloons were released to support their claim that winds will carry pollen from the farm into the surrounding countryside.
Swansea
During the week of action against Cargill Swansea Against Genetic Engineering (SAGE) visited their local Safeway and Sainsbury’s stores to draw attention to GM animal feed in their meat and dairy produce. ‘GM inside’ cards appeared mysteriously throughout the store and shoppers were asked to sign a petition.
