How to Do Animal Rights - And Win the War on Animals Chapter 6 Assorted Animal Rights Activists 7. Jill Phipps (1964 - 1995)  Jill Phipps was a British animal rights activist and veteran campaigner for animals. She was crushed under a transporter during a protest to stop the live export of calves. The calves were for export from Coventry Airport to Amsterdam and thence to farms across Europe to make veal. Protesters gathered outside the airport. Phipps and a few protesters broke through a police cordon with the intention of slowing one of the trucks by chaining themselves to it. Phipps was caught under a truck's wheels. Her spine snapped. Protesters had frequently burst through police lines on earlier days, but this day something went wrong. For lack of evidence the truck driver was not charged with manslaughter. Jill Phipps' family blame the police for keeping the transporters moving. Her mother said, "Whatever happened they were determined to keep the convoys going. They had no contingency plan for people running into the road." (1) Phipps' death evoked widespread public sympathy and stirred fellow activists' resolve to keep up their protest against live animal exports. The exports from the airport eventually stopped when the aviation freight company went bankrupt (for background see Chapter 3: Direct Action, under The Battle of Brightlingsea). The plaque on Jill Phipps' grave reads: 'Died as she lived fearlessly fighting for animals.' Her memorial web site states, "Jill is not a martyr, she is a hero and her actions will inspire and give courage to everyone who knew her and to many thousands of people who never met her."
