TWO animal rights campaigners who tried to stop the Scottish Grand National have each been fined £200.
The breach of the peace charge said the pair entered the track at Ayr Racecourse when a race meeting was in progress, equipped with glue and piping designed to enable people to secure themselves to jumps, fences or railings.They were among 24 people from the Animal Rising group charged by police after disruption on the day of the race in April.
“About five minutes before, I walked down to the car park through a gap in the opening of the fence, and then I jumped over the fence bordering the racetrack and ran onto it.“We made sure we had enough time to get onto the race track before the race began, so as to limit the risk to horses, riders and ourselves.
