AS a supporter of Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), I write to alert all those caring members of the public to the fact that now the foot and mouth restrictions have been lifted, the exportation of live animals for slaughter has resumed.

I appeal to everybody who would like to see an end to this vile moneymaking trade to contact CIWF. Phone their hotline on 01730 237 379 to request a "Ban Life Exports" Action Pack. Alternatively, visit their website at www.banliveexports.com
