ANIMAL rights protesters are preparing to march on a town centre in one of the biggest demonstrations of its kind in four years.About 800 protesters from Shac – Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty – are expected to parade through Huntingdon on November 10.
The demonstration follows the easing of restrictions imposed in an injunction in 2003, which means the group can now hold four full-scale protests in the town each year.
Shac is campaigning for the closure of Huntingdon Life Sciences over the firm’s use of animals in tests.
A police spokesman said: “This will be a large and potentially costly demonstration to police. Detailed plans are being prepared.”
