Activists in West Yorkshire today protested outside local targets involved in animal abuse.
First of all was Thomson Ecology (Tel: 0113 247 3780) in Leeds City Centre, we are heavily involved in the Welsh Badger Cull. Upon arrival, we named and shamed them and chanted over megaphones. TE were not expecting us this time, so all their workers were there.
Next of all was the Head Office of NG Bailey (Tel: 01943 601933) at Denton Hall near Ilkley. The local gamekeepers attempted to stop us going on the public right of way straight through the land, however we went on anyway and had a protest right outside the building, much to their anger. NG Bailey are responsible for constructing the new animal testing lab for rodents and beagles at the University of Leicester. At the end, they attempted to stop us leaving the site however crafty activists just walked out of the other exit!
Last stop was Ramus (Tel: 01943 600 388) in Ilkley, who continue to sell foie gras despite their lies claiming the contrary. Outside the shop, a banner was unfurled and chants on the megaphone let everybody around know about the unethical business in the town. Leaflets were also given to customers, some of whom turned away, whilst members of the public were generally supportive.
We will be holding more protests at the companies above in the coming weeks.
