FROG FARM/ALF

A FROG exporter in Meath is closing down his business following an
attack on his property by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), a violent
international group. Acid was thrown on the businessman’s car and
slogans daubed on buildings located around his farm.

Denis McCarthy, who runs the Kells-based Frog Farm, which is Europe’s
sole exporter of common frogs for medical research, had originally told
the group he would retire at the end of this month, in order to
forestall further attacks.
