Judgment day for McDonald's
Article Abstract:
Significant details about the internal operations of McDonald's, one of the most high profile multinational companies in the world, have been revealed as a result of the libel case brought by the company against environmentalists Helen Steel and Dave Morris. This long-running case has mirrored the dramatic expansion of the environmental movement in the UK, and has also provided a focus for environmental campaigners. The company's rigid control of public relations seems to have lapsed with this case, and it has had to face in-depth analysis of its ethics and working practices.

He has been involved in the livestock trade almost throughout his working life, and is now the director of a number of companies. He is determined to stand up to the protesters, and believes that it will not be long before his fellow farmers refuse to be intimidated any more.

Fury as live exports ban is lifted
Article Abstract:
The High Court decision that the port of Dover acted illegally in banning live animal traders is likely to spark off large-scale disruption by protesters at the port. Bans on live animal exports which had been imposed at Coventry airport and the port of Plymouth have also been declared illegal. The ruling ensures that the live animal trade will be able to continue for the foreseeable future.
