Welcome to the KAALE Home Page.
Please allow popups from this site to see the 'information' popup window. It will auto close in 15 seconds.

KAALE is ‘Kent Action Against Live Exports’.

We are an organisation which has been founded in Kent county, in the South-Eastern corner of England, Uk.

KAALE is a completely volunteer run organisation specifically set up to address the specific issue of live animal exports, primarily from the port of Dover.  No member of the KAALE crew takes any financial rewards for the work that they do as they are all volunteers – we simply do our work at KAALE to be a voice for the animals which are still being exported from the Uk for slaughter and further fattening in Europe.  All of our funding is obtained by membership, for which you get 6 newsletters every year; or by donations.

KAALE is a Non Government Organisation – an NGO.

During the last few months (Summer 2011) we have seen live animal exports move out of Dover to the port of Ramsgate, which is also located in Kent county.  Dover continues to be monitored.

KAALE intentions are to stop the trade in live animal exports through entirely legal and peaceful demonstrations at the ports.  The KAALE crew gathers information, data and photographs, and subsequently produces a detailed report for every live animal export consignment which leaves the county ports.  These reports can be seen on this site under the sub section of ‘Export Reports’.

In addition, we run a telephone newsline which is updated every weekend as standard and further updated during the week when there are live animal shipments happening.

Here is a brief insight into the KAALE crew:

Ian                   – KAALE Chairman and leader of the pack !
Yvonne            – covers all aspects of the day to day operation of KAALE
Valerie             – our official group photographer
Judith              – keeps a careful watch on group funds
Betty                – runs and puts out all our telephone newsline updates
Ruth                – produces the consignment reports and maintains a detailed index of port activities
Mark                – EU Correspondent who deals directly with EU Legal Affairs and the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) in Brussels, Belgium.  Also deals with Press and website.

In addition we have a vast group of supporters who provide us with all kinds of information and support.  We are also involved with livestock market monitoring.

Please take the time to browse through our site and learn about live animal exports from the Uk.

We have sections which provide information and links for the following:

• European Union (EU) animal transport regulations
• Links on how to find and contact every Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in every country (member state) of the EU
• Specific links to Uk MEP’s on a region by region basis
• An insight into Defra; the Uk ministry of government which is responsible for, and approves, live animal exports from the Uk
• We have insights into both Dover and Ramsgate harbours – ports of shame which are involved with live animal exports
• Meet Carla Lane, our Patron and tv comedy scriptwriter and author.  Carla has campaigned for decades against the transport of live animal exports
• See a huge number of photographs related to recent animal exports from our county, as well as past campaign photographs from our archives of some 20 years or more.

Directly below on this page you will see a global ‘Clustrmap’, or ‘map of the world’ which shows all our visitors to this web site.  This helps us by providing information on where all of our international animal friends and supporters come from; the locations even surprise us sometimes !

Cluster Map

We request your help and support to campaign against live animal exports from the Uk in whatever way you are able.  This can be writing or mailing politicians; or by becoming a member of KAALE; for which you will supplied with a newsletter 6 times each year.  There is a link to membership on the site should you wish to join with us, or kindly send us a donation.

We do not put money into glossy magazines; we keep things simple to cut costs and to put as much money into campaigning for the animals as we can.

KAALE holds a monthly demonstration outside Eastern Dock at Dover on the 1st Saturday of every month between 12 noon and 3pm; although sometimes now the location is changed to Ramsgate port, now that live animal exports have moved there.  Information about locations is provided via the telephone newsline; the number for which you can find under ‘About Us’ – ‘Contact Us’.

All information and web links provided on this site are completely legal and have the right to be accessed by any members of the public.  There is no illegal access / information work undertaken in the production of this site.

Enjoy your visit to this KAALE site and we hope that you will return to see us again very soon.
