Open Rescue member John Darroch will be appearing in the Hamilton District next week facing charges relating to an act of civil disobedience earlier this year. Please come along and show your opposition to pig farming in New Zealand. John is facing one charge of tresspass and another of unlawfully being inside a building for a protest where he locked onto a silo near Cambridge. This followed an investigation into pig farming which revealed shocking conditions in Waikato pig farms.
Open Rescue and supporters will be holding a protest outside court to draw attention to the cruel nature of pig farming in New Zealand. The rally before court will start at 8.30 and continue until ten. Supporters are welcome to stay and watch the trial after this.
If anyone wishes to come from Auckland and requires a ride please contact J Darroch
Thursday 19th August
Hamilton District Court – 116 Anglesea St Hamilton
