Who was Jill Phipps?

Jill Phipps was a British animal rights activist. Jill became an activist at the age of 11 when she joined her mother to fight the fur trade. She joined the Animal Liberation League and took part with her mother in a campaign that enabled the closing down of a local fur store and fur farm. At the age of 22, together with family members and other activists, she raided a vivisection laboratory. The group was then prosecuted and her family put in jail, while Jill was put on a suspended sentence because she was pregnant. On 1 February 1995, Jill Phipps was crushed to death under a lorry during a protest to stop the air export of live calves for human consumption. Jill Phipps was one of 35 protesters at Coventry Airport who were trying to bring the lorry to a halt and was crushed beneath the lorry's wheels.
