Kent Against Live Exports (KALE) work closely with CIWF and hold demos in Dover.
They also hold demonstrations against live exports on the first Saturday every month between 12pm-3pm at Eastern Docks Roundabout. Please contact KALE's information news line on 01304 204688 for more information.
A special demo, organised by VIVA! was held on the 6th May 2006 to coincide with the first shipment of calves.
CIWF Chief Executive, Philip Lymbery, who attended the event said:
"The demonstration in Dover was an important show of unity by the animal welfare movement against the despicable resumption of live calf exports from the UK. It was an opportunity to show that ten years may have passed but that the protestors have not gone away.
"It is also a sad indictment of government and industry inaction on this issue that the past decade has not been used to develop a humane and sustainable alternative to the live export trade. At CIWF, we are stepping up our urgent campaign to bring an end to this trade forever."
