Saturday 5th February 2005
Jill Phipps campaigned tirelessly for animals in her home town of Coventry and across the country. On 1st February 1995, whilst protesting against the export of veal calves from Coventry(Baginton) Airport, she was tragically killed under the wheels of a livestock transporter.
