A GROUP protested outside a Bradford slaughterhouse urging people to turn vegan and stop the killing of chickens.

West Yorkshire Save was outside Yorkshire Poultry Products, in Hammerton Street, today.

A group of 40 protesters held up placards including signs saying: 'Beep to support mercy for chickens going to slaughter'.

The group holds vigils for pigs and chickens being transported to slaughter.

Protester Andrew Garner said: "We want to change the hearts and minds of people.

"People were beeping their support to us. We don't want chickens to be slaughtered and see this as a massive issue.

"We want to say that you don't want to kill animals anymore."

No-one from Yorkshire Poultry Products was available to comment when contacted by the Telegraph and Argus.
