A MOTHER who was injured and then arrested while picketing against live animal export says she will continue her campaign.

Mother-of-three Carolyn Gleadall, 26, was protesting against lorries carrying calves and sheep to Ramsgate port with her own mother, Mary, when she fell to the ground and broke her hand.

She then says she was arrested for being drunk and disorderly but, when officers realised she was not drunk, she was fined £80 for being "abusive". She said: "I will continue to protest, but it has been really hard."
