Heather Mills Faces Legal Threat For Trespass.... Sir Paul McCartney's estranged wife Heather Mills could face legal action for trespassing after entering an English farm to highlight alleged animal cruelty.The former model paid a late night visit to the farm in Somerset earlier this month (Mar07) as part of a campaign for vegetarian group Viva!.But after learning of the illegal trip, owner Michael Underhill is threatening to sue Mills for trespassing and even alleges the party could have brought disease onto his land.He says, "This is trespass, I intend to take legal action over this.We can't just have people coming on to the farm whenever they choose."We have had some sickness in the piglets recently - these people could have brought disease onto the farm. They don't know the harm they are causing."In the campaign footage of the pig farm, Mills accuses British chain store Marks & Spencer of buying meat from farms which use the narrow farrowing crates, and even uses the company's own slogan in her attack.She says, "What really got to me with the farrowing crate is the fact that they are mothers, they are breeding sows. They can't move hardly at all, apart from one step back and forward. It's so barbaric and inhumane."You can see how disgusting it is, the conditions they have to live in. It stinks in here, it is absolutely disgusting.
"This is not just torture - this is M&S torture."
A spokesman for Marks & Spencer denied Mills' claims saying, "M&S has leading animal welfare standards and has been recognised for these by both the Rspca and Compassion in World Farming."
Meanwhile the former model is convinced press are out to destroy her Sir Paul McCartney's estranged wife has hit out at the one-sided media coverage surrounding her divorce battle with the former Beatle, insisting the press are out to "destroy" her reputation.
The former model - who last week (ends09Mar07) accused several British newspapers of "misreporting" the divorce - is convinced there is a media campaign to discredit her.
She says, "There is a huge agenda behind trying to destroy me and put me down. I'm not a publicity seeker. I haven't gone round promoting things to finance my own pockets.
"There are huge powers that create these things for reasons of their own. I don't have that powerful system that he has."
But despite the bitter and lengthy battle against McCartney, Mills still has affections for the Hey Jude singer.
She adds, "I'll always love Paul. He's the father of my child and I'll always have strong feelings for him."
