BREAKING NEWS: Activists from East London Chicken Save (ELCS) and Animal Rebellion have ‘locked on’ outside London’s last remaining slaughterhouse, Kedassia in Hackney Wick, stopping it from operating.

Famed scientist Jane Goodall and Animal Save Movement are among those to amplify calls to end farm animal gifting to people in developing countries via charities such as Oxfam, World Vision and Christian Aid. But farmer critics have accused activists of playing ‘grinch’ this Christmas.
