On the 7th of July we were informed that a 3.8 acre plot of land had come up for sale, right next to plot 6 and was due to be auctioned on July the 16th.
We were in two minds about entering the auction because we only had one week to raise the funds. We were then contacted a couple of days later by a local activist group informing us that they had stood in this very location trying to protect badgers from a cull.
For 15 years this incredible group of sabs have defended badgers here. We already knew that this area was right in the centre of other animal abuse and the shooting of wildfowl but to find out that badgers were being culled too, left us with no choice.
It has been a dream of the Vegan land Movement CIC to link and collaborate with other organisations fighting to end the suffering of animals and to save persecuted and endangered species. Collaborating and linking with the sabs in this area made the removal of this plot of land happen.
This is just one example of what we can achieve if we all work together.
Together we could be a larger force of change
So many organisations work alone when together we could be a larger force of change. We hope that this will not be the only collaboration of this type. Imagine the Hunt Sab organisations and other wildlife protectors all rallying to remove land from animal farming. These safe havens could then be created everywhere. The way land is used and abused along with all the persecuted creatures could be changed and the damage reversed.
