UK - Demonstration against TESCO - Merseyside Animal Rights / Care for the Wild International

[Guest guest]

**PLEASE REPOST !!!**

 

Dear all

 

A leafletting event has been organised by Merseyside Animal Rights on behalf of Care for the Wild International outside the lecture theatre where Tesco's CEO Sir Terence Leahy will be speaking about the economic benefits of operating in China.

 

Tesco are butchering turtles on their counters in beijing and allowing customers to take the animals home ALIVE for boiling, mutilation and dismembering.

 

Sir Terence Leahy has so far ignored the hundreds of letters he has recieved, so please take this perfect opportunity to express to him your disgust at Tescos barbaric practices in China.

 

This is an issue that is definitely NOT 'out of sight out of mind' ...

 

Here are the details:

 

Meet at 16:30 - 19:00 on Tuesday, 30 October 2007 at St George’s Hall, William Brown Street, (Access through the south entrance via the Heritage Centre on St George’s Place), Liverpool.

 

Posters, banners and leaflets will be available at the event.

 

If you cannot make the demo, please take 5 minutes to write:
