Merseyside Animal Rights is a local voluntary run group which campaigns against any form of animal exploitation in the Merseyside area and beyond. Under normal circumstances we meet the first Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm at Next To Nowhere www.liverpoolsocialcentre.org 96 Bold Street, ring the while bell to get in, however please see our statement below regarding the current situation. We campaign and raise awareness around industries that use and abuse animals including the meat, dairy, egg and fur industries, as well as the use of animals for ‘sport’ or entertainment, particularly focusing on local issues. New people and ideas are welcome at our meetings and in our group.

You can keep up to date with what we’re up to via our face book page Merseyside Animal Rights Campaigns https://www.facebook.com/MARcampaigns/

The Grand National

Merseyside Animal Rights is opposed to all horse racing. It is inherently cruel, unnatural and dangerous to force animals to take part in such events. However there is a world famous race which takes place right on our Liverpool doorsteps. The Grand National is the most valuable jump race in Europe, with a prize fund of £1 million. It is also infamous for the number of horse fatalities which occur during the main race, and in other races that take place at Aintree over the weekend. Read more

We will be protesting opposite Aintree Racecourse (as you come out of the train station) on Friday April 4th for Ladies Day, and Saturday April 5th for the Grand National, 11am-2pm on both days.
