Another activist chained themselves to a calf in a bold attempt to set it free. Ms Livingstone tried to negotiate with the staff of the slaughterhouse for hours in a desperate bid to release two Bobby calves – but she was unsuccessful. The calves, who were both less than 30 days old, had been removed from their mothers. Ms Livingstone is seen sobbing in video footage while she cradles and comforts the baby cow.
