Political Animal

Eric attended his very first demonstration yesterday at Leigh Animal Sanctuary after the expose by the Times. As I am a technomuppet I'm afraid I can't copy the photos everyone else took (shame as there are horrendous ones of me on there). So I have added a link. OH is on the left of the first photo in the sweatshirt unfortunately Erics head got chopped off (in a photographic sense) and I am the one carrying the flowers in the 2nd photo as well as in looking very ugly waving a banner in the "Dogs trust" photo later on.

The protest was totally peaceful and the police were sympathetic, to the cause.

By the way Eric's eye is fine now and he enjoyed some theraupeutic sausages. It was a warm day and whilst we packed loads of water and treats for Eric we forgot to provide our own refreshments.

It was a worthwhile day as we have saved two whippets and two cats on the day and now Leigh Animal Slaughterhouse Ltd ahem I mean "Sanctuary" have said they will not take in any more greyhounds. That doesn't stop all the other lumpy and bumpy dogs who are too ugly to be profitable to be saved though.

Well at least its a start and we have public support on our side. It also was good for Joe Public to realise that the overwhelming majority of us who are committed to Animal Welfare aren't a bunch of Terrorist nutcases.
