Wednesday, 29th July
5.00pm
The council have been back to the camp, and are now happy for us to stay. All earlier issues have now been resolved. The camp will go on! The campers would like to thank everyone who has contacted them with messages of support, it's really appreciated.
2.00pm
BBC Radio Lincolnshire have been down to the site for interviews and to have a look around. They will be covering the story tomorrow morning during prime time, between 7.30-10am.
11.20am
The council have attended the site again, but despite earlier eviction threats they simply provided the camp with bin bags for rubbish. The camp is also on the front page of the Market Rasen Mail with a really good article (click the attachment to read it). Geoffrey Douglas is currently writing a letter to the paper to try and justify his supply of animals to research establishments.

Good to hear all is well

Glad to hear they're letting the camp stay though, it seems a rarity these days that people are actually allowed to utilise their right to peaceful protest.

During the night a shot rabbit with a rope tied around it's neck...
Horrific - and that rabbit isn't an 'it',

Obviously the real villain is Highgate Rabbit Farm, who not only snatched the life of this wild rabbit, but also send countless thousands of other animals to an indescribably cruel death on a regular basis. You can contact the farm to register your outrage on: 01673 878259 and 01673 878 232

Individuals are referred to as they, their, them, etc.
Objects are referred to as it, that, etc.
So it should have been: "During the night a shot rabbit with a rope tied around their neck..."
Seems pretty obvious and simple now doesn't it!!

Major support for all the campers though.

Let's stick to the issue at hand here, the animal abuse.

"Heck you lot can't even agree on what it's supposed to be after a couple of posts."
Yes we can thanks, their OR hir. Their is naturally gender-neutral you idiot!
"Let's stick to the issue at hand here, the animal abuse."
Exactly. Stick to the RADICAL [root of the] issue: objectification of non-human animals which leads to abuse. Just because people make mistakes and it's posted by the most effective animal liberation campaigning organisation, doesn't mean people shouldn't apologise.
There are more important things to argue about so please stop defending objectification.

Or even better, get up to the camp and support them.

Instead of getting defensive and calling someone an idiot for pointing out a mistake, learn from the comment they made. Even if you already knew of the correct term to use, others may not have and could benefit from it.

Doesn't seem speciesist to me, just seems like proper grammar. But anyway - all of you people arguing this are phoning the farm as well right? You know the people who actually killed this rabbit, and breed thousands of others?
If I was inside Highgate Farm being bred to be tortured, I really wouldn't care who called me what - as long as they were trying to get me out!

It (definite article) IS a rabbit. The rabbit IS dead.
Therefore, the rabbit is demonstrably inanimate. QED
Even if the rabbit were alive, 'it' would still be a rabbit.
He might be a male rabbit or She might be a female rabbit but unless you were to 'disrispek' the rabbit by upending it and investigating its undercarriage, it is more convenient and terminologically correct to say it is a rabbit.
