🚨BREAKING! Three supporters of Animal Rising were arrested in house raids the afternoon before the Greyhound Derby final. 🚨
The police have reached new levels of absurdity, including taking a seven-year-old’s tablet along with the entire family’s tech in a house raid. This is the same police force that shot and killed two innocent dogs at the beginning of May.
This comes before supporters of Animal Rising even got within distance of Towcester Racecourse. Those arrested by the police were peaceful supporters who were trying to protect dogs.
The increase in the suppression of dissent and peaceful protest is a threat to our democracy, and every day we see our democracy withering more and more. Despite these challenges, we will proceed with our intentions to disrupt the Greyhound Derby final tomorrow. The police have tried to stop us from protecting these greyhounds, but we will continue to put our bodies on the line to protect animals, and advocate for a better future FOR ALL LIFE.
We need your help to create a kinder, freer, and safer world for both animals and humans. If you’d like to help support us, please consider donating to support those affected by raids and arrests (Link in bio). We are truly grateful for every donation made, and we thank you for your support. #GreyhoundDerby #GreyhoundRacing #AnimalRising
