ARRESTS AT DOVER ANIMAL DEMO

A rally over live animal exports which coincided wth the death in Coventry 11 years ago, of protestor Jill Phipps saw police arrest three people for obstruction.

A large number of police officers watched as more than 100 people  gathered o­n the seafront in Dover before making their way to the entrance of the Eastern Docks where Kent Against Live Exports  hold their monthly demonstration.

Among the speakers at the rally was Robert Mouland from Folkestone who gave an impassioned speech against the baby seal cull  which is due to begin shortly in Russia.

Every year since Jill Phipps died while protesting against the export of live baby calves to the Netherlands from Coventry Airport, a national event has been held in her memory.
