PROTESTORS gathered outside a Swindon takeaway to campaign against alleged animal cruelty.
A small group representing Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) congregated outside Kentucky Fried Chicken in Clive Parade, Headlands, for two hours on Saturday. They held placards and gave out leaflets.
Campaigner Steve Dixon, 36, a Swindon-based graphic designer, said: "We are trying to raise awareness about animal rearing and slaughter methods.''
Nicky Brewer, 23, a nursery nurse of Goulding Close, Swindon, said: "I've been a vegetarian since the age of 11 and I think the way animals are treated and being killed is disgusting."
Susanta Saha, 31, general manager of KFC in Clive Parade, said : "I think it will disrupt trade but it's their right to protest, as long as they do so peacefully."
