Eastern Animal Liberation League




The main action of the EALL took place in August 1984. Unilever research laboratories in Bedford was stormed by over two hundred Animal Rights activists and the same time as a legal demonstration was taking place at the front. 25 people were later convicted of conspiracy to burgle and sentenced to a total of 41 years.

One of those convicted was Jill Phipps , who was killed in 1995 during a demonstration, when she was run over by a lorry carrying calves for the Live Export trade. Jill's mother, Nancy Phipps was also convicted.

These heavy losses to the Animal Rights movement led to the winding up of the EALL and a change in tactics.
