Campaigner 'prepared For Jail' Over Seal Cull Film

A fur trade campaigner from Nottingham has said he would rather go to jail than pay a fine after being accused of breaching an exclusion zone to film a seal cull in Canada. Mark Glover, of the Respect for Animals Group, flew to Canada this morning to stand trial for allegedly straying within 10m (33ft) of the legal seal cull. It is a charge, he says, which is politically motivated and designed to hide the "horrendous" truth about the killing of seals on the east coast of Canada. If convicted he faces a fine of 100,000 Canadian dollars (GBP50,000), which he says he will not pay. Mr Glover, from Carlton, said: "The Canadians were getting fed up with the level of cruelty we were filming. "The word went out and we were all arrested. The regulations are very straightforward - you cannot go within 10 metres of sealers killing seals"...
