SchNEWS in Brief

Animal activists from Brighton have been aiming to liberate eight thousand Chickens this week during their legal liberation event. After 3 days they had rescued over 3000 - sent on to friendly sanctuaries and gardens around the country – and will easily top last year’s 3500 total.

The annual legal liberation has been taking place on a organic free range chicken farm for the past few years. The owner has given permission for the group to spend a week catching and re-homing the chickens at the end of their profitable laying cycle of 18 months. After this time the chickens are sold for as little as 15p and taken off to slaughter. Cock-a-doodle-well-done see www.brightonanimalaction.org

EDO call out: Noise Demo’s are still going on outside the Brighton bomb builders EDO MBM on home farm road every Wednesday from 4 to 6pm. Head down there and show some support - Sussex police have been resorting to making complaints about the noiSse themselves when EDO MD Paul Hills fails to - so desperate they are to trot out the infamous noise by-law to halt the noise-making.
