Consort Kennels was a commercial breeder of beagles for animal testing, based in Hereford, UK. It closed in September 1997 after a 10-month campaign by animal rights activists. Upon closure Consort sold its stock of 170 beagles for £300 each, some to animal rights groups.
Consort Beagle Campaign
The Consort Beagle Campaign was formed in 1996 by Greg Avery and Heather James with the aim of closing the facility. It included over 200 daily protests, raids carried out by the Animal Liberation Front, and the removal of 26 beagles in May of 1997.
Following the closure of Consort, the campaign morphed into a similar campaign against the commercial cat breeder, Hillgrove Farm.

Education and Experiences at College
Michelle attended Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. As a child, Michelle always planned to attend BYU. For her it seemed like a great place to get an education and associate with lots of LDS people.
Michelle has always liked to write, but never thought of a career in broadcast journalism. Her first experience with broadcast journalism happened when she walked through the HFAC building at Brigham Young University, and saw students reporting the news for KBYU. This interested her enough to take the Intro to Broadcasting as a general education course. After the class, she was interested enough to get involved with KBYU herself. It seemed kind of exciting for her because she didn’t really “know” anyone who was a news broadcaster.
As a student working for KBYU, Michelle did a few reports in the Provo area carrying around an old Bell and Howell film camera. She anchored the Newsroom 11 show for a couple of years and she also produced. She would produce the show then run out and anchor one of the segments.
She mainly reported on local Provo/Orem news stories, but in her newscasts they also had regional and national segments as well as weather and sports. In fact, the first person she worked with doing a show called “Religion Today”—Carolos Amezcua -- ended up working with her at KUTV, where she currently works.
While at BYU, Michelle took courses from the following professors: Oliver Smith, Professors Haroldsen and Fairbanks, Lynn McKinley (one of KSL radio’s first broadcasters), Doug Barton (now owns/runs a Manti radio station), Dallas Burnett, George Barrus, Owen Rich, Ray Beckham Bruce Olsen and Tom Griffiths—whom she considers her broadcast mentor.
She decided to be an anchor because it “looked like a lot of fun.” Michelle recounts her childhood days in grade school when the teacher would pass out the Weekly Reader newspaper and have us all take a turn reading out loud, which she loved. As she later learned that news anchors have more of a “set” schedule, as opposed to other positions in the broadcast business that enabled her to better manage her work and home life.
Some major changes in the broadcast industry occurred while Michelle was in college. Videotape was implemented as the principle medium to record footage instead of film. Also a primitive form of the teleprompter was implemented which was a conveyor system displaying pages that were taped together. She hoped nothing got caught or torn in this style of the teleprompter. This was a big deal, because some of the other bigger news stations in the neighboring states didn’t have a teleprompter.
Michelle won a departmental award her junior year that allowed her to be the KSL intern for that summer. She would do everything from write stories to splice film to field reporting. At the end of the summer, the news director offered her a job sitting at the overnight assignment desk, not exactly what she had in mind. She completed her senior year, then interned at UPI in New York City after graduation.
Also during her junior year, Michelle was crowned Homecoming Queen at BYU. She was persuaded by one of her roommates to run for it. After completing all the requirements, she never expected to make the cut. To her surprise, both her and her friend who ran with her did. Further into the competition, the student body voted her into the top five and ultimately, Homecoming Queen. Her friend made it as one of the attendants as well.
Post-College
Right after college, Michelle sent out about 50 resumes to stations in fairly big markets looking for a position as an anchor. She got many rejection letters as well as some inquiries. A college friend gave her a job at KUTV as a news photographer. He heard there was a part-time consumer reporter position for the Noon Show, and encouraged her to apply. The news director watched Michelle on Newsroom 11 and thought she had some potential. She was hired part-time at first. At this time she had already started working on her Master’s degree at BYU, but soon gave it up after four months when she was also asked to co-anchor the Noon show. She started at KUTV in August, 1978.
Major changes have occurred in broadcasting during her professional career. She experienced shooting footage on film during college, then moved to videotape, now everything is computerized and news is easier to access. There are so many news sources available that it has become a challenge to keep the audience’s attention.

Regal Rabbits was a farm in Great Bookham, Surrey, UK that bred rabbits for use in animal experiments.
In 1999 and again on 21 May 2000, over seventy rabbits were removed from the farm by the Animal Liberation Front.
In June 2000 the Close Down Regal Rabbits campaign was launched by animal rights activists. It was one of the shortest animal rights campaigns ever launched, because the farm announced its closure just twelve days later. The owner of the farm, Bill Pitcher, allowed over 1,100 New Zealand White rabbits to be taken and rehomed by animal rights campaigners.
