Live animal export protesters at the port of Ramsgate have caused lorries to come to a complete standstill again as for the second week running around 70 KAALE members voiced their concerns as a shipment was due to take place.
Three animal export lorries which contained over 1200 sheep arrived at the port of Ramsgate at around 1:30pm, Monday, October 10, 2016, the lorries were due to be loaded onto ships before being sent out for slaughter in Europe.
Anti live export campaigners caused the vehicles to a halt for around ten minutes as some protesters were seen sitting on the road and stopping the lorries from moving any further.
Former Thanet councillor, Ian Driver, a co-founder of the campaign against live exports from Ramsgate, said: “This appalling and cruel trade, which most people oppose, is only permitted because of inflexible EU free-trade rules. As Brexit gets closer the chance of stopping this medieval business once and for all is becoming greater.
