Qld: Animal protesters escorted from the abattoir
A group of animal rights protesters has been escorted by police off the premises of
a Queensland abattoir killing floor .. after they chained themselves to heavy machinery
this morning.
The 11 activists from Brisbane .. Sydney and Melbourne snuck into the Churchill Abattoir
at Ipswich .. west of Brisbane .. about 4am (AEST) and chained themselves up.
The protest was a reaction to the 2006 World Meat Congress currently being held in Brisbane.
It follows a day of action yesterday in which a near-naked woman climbed into a giant
meat tray in the CBD .. threw fake blood on herself and covered herself in cling wrap.
