A farming family who have become the target of a vicious animal rights 
campaign have been barred from using the local pub.
David Hall and Associates, who run Darley Oaks Farm, Newchurch, 
Staffordshire, have been asked not to go to the Red Lion in nearby Newborough, by the pub’s 
brewery, The Union Pub Company.
It followed an online onslaught from the activists, who sent a barrage of 
emails and faxes via internet chat rooms.
The farm has been breeding guinea pigs which are sent away for medical 
research for more than 30 years, but campaigners have been battling to get the farm 
closed for five years.
The Save Newchurch Guinea Pigs group organises regular protests at the farm 
every weekend.
But they have now started hounding anyone who has connections with the Halls, 
such as local pubs, petrol stations, solicitors and vets, in a bid to get 
organisations to sever ties with the family.
