Activists Demo Council Over Ilkley Grouse Shoot Plans

West Yorkshire Hunt Sabs | 31.08.2008 14:53 | Animal Liberation | Ecology

On Friday, 15 activists held a visual and noisey demo outside Bradford Council’s Head Office, Jacob’s Well, because of their plans to allow grouse shooting to return to Ilkley Moor.



On Friday, 15 activists held a visual and noisey demo outside Bradford Council’s Head Office, Jacob’s Well, because of their plans to allow grouse shooting to return to Ilkley Moor.

Banners were tied up and held and information given to all the members of staff and visitors going in through the site’s main enterance. Members of public wrre very supportive and many made comments about the council not caring about the people of their town, never mind the animals to be killed if bloodsports return to the moor. The constant noise from the megaphone and chanting made sure that nobody could be unaware of why we were there.

The demo then moved onto the town’s City Hal where campaigners went inside the office and put the West Yorkshire Sabs website on every computer screen. Outside the main enterance, activists climbed up the gates and tied a banner across, much to the annoyance of the security guards who begun shaking the gate whilst someone whas still up it!

Other campaigners dropped baqnners of a nearby flyover to inform everybody coming into Bradford about the council’s involvement in animal cruelty and bloodsports.

Overall the day was very successful with lots of support from the staff and public.

The demo was also covered in the local press >>>  http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/local/localbrad/3632933.Shooting_protesters_make_a_stand/

The PC pictured here with the big..........long angled lens was not wearing his collar number (tut, tut, why was this)! and refused to give his name. He did not seem to like giving out his details nor did he like us filming him filming us. Well I call it a taste of your own medicine mate!
