A spokesperson for Animal Rising has said its planned protest at Aintree on Grand National day is “the first of a campaign of events over the summer”.
Earlier this month The Mail On Sunday reported more than 100 activists had signed up to take part in a demonstration on April 15 with the aim of disrupting the big race itself, which sees a full field of 40 head to post at 5.15pm.
The report said protesters planned to form a human barricade across the track at Aintree after sneaking into the event with ladders and bolt cutters.
