Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 .. Peter Roberts isthe main person responsible for getting veal cratesbanned in the UK (which is being expanded soon to theentire EU). He worked tirelessly on behalf of farmanimals' rights. He realized early on that gettingthem reclassified from "agricultural products" to"sentient beings" was the key to change. He died onthe 15th of November. Here is an obit from theGuardian....in addition, if you can access it (viaGoogle), the Economist has a really detailed obit.http://www.guardian.co.uk/animalrights/story/0,,1954843,00.htmlI don't know when exactly he became a vegetarian, butMr. Roberts founded the organization Compassion inWorld Farming in 1967.
