Hi,

Activists in Italy have asked us to organise a protest outside the Italian Embassy in Dublin, in solidarity with their campaign to close Green Hill beagle breeders (which is owned by the notorious Marshall Farms Inc.).

Green Hill currently imprison 2,500 beagles and ship them to all around Europe, mainly to companies such as Novartis, Wyeth, Bayer as well as Italian laboratories - and even Huntingdon Life Sciences, the biggest animal testing laboratory in the UK.

In previous months, they applied for an expansion to stock 5,000 beagles in total, and as a result a campaign was launched in Italy which had this application stopped. Now, the campaign aims to close down the farm, which is breaching Italian law. The campaign is also aiming to get a complete ban on vivisection in Italy.

For more information, Google-translate their website: http://www.fermaregreenhill.net/wp/

MEET AT: Pearse Street Station to get the 10.45am dart to Lansdowne Road Station.

From there, we will head to the Italian Embassy (63-65 Northumberland Road, Dublin 4), where we will stay until 12noon.

Hope you can make it!
