WE JOIN GIANT BEAGLE FOR A GATHERING OUTSIDE B&K UNIVERSAL, SUNDAY 16TH AUGUST AT 2PM
3rd August 2015:
It's two weeks since B&K Universal got the go-ahead to expand their animal breeding farm, and Emma Hart's petition is fast approaching half a million signatures from supporters, including celebrities.
After 4 years of dedicated campaigning to stop B&K, hundreds of thousands of animal lovers and scientists are now adding their voices of opposition.
A timely gathering is now scheduled for Sunday 16th August outside B&K Universal, to include Grimston residents, a giant 12 ft beagle ( just back from his inaugural fundraising tour in aid of human-based research), a host of beagles with their human companions and Emma Hart will also be there.
At the gathering we will give an outline of our proposed strategy to overturn this decision. Speakers include Alex Irving, Director of Speaking of Human-Based Research.
Please join us for this gathering, the address is B&K Universal, Grimston, near Hull, East Yorkshire, HU11 4QE. For this event's page please visit https://www.facebook.com/events/778242125621733/
