Animal rights organisation PETA has created a short feature focusing on what happens to animals during the festive period, filmed at Norwich’s Hillside Animal Sanctuary on Hall Lane.

The advert, set to air in cinemas next month, depicts a young schoolgirl stopping to practice Jingle Bells on her trumpet, near a farm she passes on her walk home. There she meets a cow who always comes to the fence to listen.

But when the girl brings her mother to meet her new friend, the cow is missing and being loaded onto a lorry bound for the abattoir.

Hillside is now home to over 4000 animals 

and is one of the UK’s most successful campaigning organisations for the animals’ cause.  We have always known that one of the main reasons animals are left to suffer in factory farms is because people have little or no idea about the immense cruelty involved in their food production. Although most of our rescued animals have been saved from the farming industry,

Hillside is home to over 2500 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules.

A great sanctuary – we support regularly.

I could watch this every day !

Must there be an extra menu for vegans in the cell? Following the occupation of the ÖVP headquarters in Tyrol, an animal rights activist was briefly detained. The one-sided diet of jam sandwiches has now led to him being taken to the provincial administrative court. Accusation: discrimination!

England: Decision due on new zoo after animal rights campaigners’ legal challenge.

The fate of a proposed new zoo near Holmes Chapel hangs in the balance, with a decision expected next week following a successful legal challenge by animal rights activists to overturn its planning permission. In July, Cheshire East’s southern planning committee had unanimously green-lit Zoo2U’s application for the zoo on land at The Orchards Farm (Bidlea Dairy) on Twemlow Lane, against the advice of planning officers.
