A civil resistance group has announced plans to disrupt the Grand National this weekend.
The group has vowed "the biggest campaign of animal-focussed actions the UK has seen in decades" this summer in a bid to spark a national conversation about our relationship with "non human animals and the natural world".
Animal Rising, formerly known as Extinction Rebellion linked group Animal Rebellion, said it starts this Saturday, when they are urging animal lovers to "just turn up" at Aintree Racecourse at 9.30am.
