Cows In Court

On Sept 28th, 11 people were found not guilty at Hemel Hempstead magistrates court of aggravated trespass at the Sainsburys distribution centre in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. They were arrested during protests in February (see AU 74).

The prosecution failed to prove that distributing animal produce fed on genetically modified feed is legal. The group revealed in court that despite massive public opposition and issuing a statement agreeing to phase out GM-fed animal products, Sainsburys were still selling the stuff and products weren’t even labelled. More cases due.
