Battle of Brightlingsea
The Battle of Brightlingsea refers to a series of protests held in Brightlingsea, England, between 16 January - 30 October 1995, to prevent the export of livestock through the town. The name was first used by the media in ''The Independent'' newspaper, after Essex Police used riot control measures against demonstrators.
By 1995, members of the public had become increasingly concerned about the conditions in which animals were reared, transported and slaughtered. Exporters had been forced to use small ports such as Brightlingsea to transport livestock after the country's three main ferry operators introduced bans on live cargo. This followed mounting public pressure about the suffering of sheep and cattle packed into huge transport vehicles for excessive periods.〔 The two largest campaign groups, Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) and the RSPCA, had called for a ban on all live exports by limiting journeys to eight hours.〔 European regulations allowed for journeys of up to 24 hours without food or water.〔
The demonstrations, which were composed largely of local residents, ended on 30 October, when exporters announced they would no longer transport animals through the town because of the extra cost and chaos caused by the daily protests.〔 In practice, the export of live animals continued from other ports, halting only in February 1996 when the European Union banned live exports from Britain over fears of "mad cow disease" entering the European food chain. The ban was lifted in 2006.
