I’m extremely bothered and I’m absolutely over-the-moon delighted.”The success of Moyles’ show will come as welcome news to Radio 1 bosses after the station’s listening figures dropped below 10 million for the first time in its history last year. He said that it was important to remember that factory farms offend one of the anchors of Jewish tradition, that of compassion towards animals.Peta, founded in America by the British-born activist Ingrid Newkirk in the 1980s, has made a speciality of aggressive campaigning and publicity stunts. Chris Moyles has lived up to his self-proclaimed reputation as the “saviour of Radio 1″ by adding almost 700,000 listeners to the weekly audience of the station’s breakfast show.
The outspoken DJ, who took over in January from Sara Cox, following a slump in ratings, said he was “over-the-moon delighted” with the figures.In the first three months of the year, Moyles boosted the audience by 680,000 – from 6.5 million to 7.18 million, figures released yesterday by the radio industry body Rajar show The figures represent the number of listeners over a week Moyles said: “I’m quite pleased with the figures I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t bothered. In an open letter to the Jewish community, he acknowledges that some will consider it inappropriate to compare the suffering of animals with that of humans, but says that he believes the exhibition does not trivialise the suffering of the Jewish people in the Holocaust. He said: “We are doing this because we want as many people as possible to see the display and so we are going to be doing it in one of the most populous areas of London. If we don’t get closed, we expect to be there for several hours.”The exhibition, Peta says, is designed to illustrate the point made by the Yiddish writer and Nobel laureate, Isaac Bashevis Singer, a vegetarian, who wrote: “In relation to [animals] all people are Nazis”, and to act as a reminder of the dangers of ignoring victims of oppression.Peta say: “Just as millions of Europeans ignored the concentration camps, allowing them to continue to operate for seven years because they were not being victimised, millions of people today turn away from the horrors of factory farming.” Like the victims of the Holocaust, it adds, animals are “forced to endure a frightening journey on tightly packed transport vehicles …

The Holocaust Memorial Museum has objected to the photographs and some Jewish groups have denounced the show.But members of Bashevis Singer’s family have backed the campaign, as have Jewish vegetarian groups and Holocaust survivors, some of whose supporting letters are on the Peta website.The exhibition’s organiser, Matt Prescott, lost members of his family in the Holocaust. and are herded to their deaths”.The exhibition, which has been on the road since last year, is funded by an anonymous American Jewish philanthropist and has divided the Jewish community. But local authorities in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin, have not objected to the exhibition, which has attracted controversy in Europe and the United States where it has been on tour since February.Andrew Butler of Peta, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said staff setting up the eight panels of the display were prepared to be arrested. A campaign by the radical animal rights group Peta which compares the suffering of intensively reared animals with the plight of Jews in Nazi death camps is to be staged on London next week in defiance of a local authority ban.
An exhibition, entitled Holocaust on Your Plate, placing large photographs of concentration camps side by side with those of factory farms and slaughterhouses, will open in London on Tuesday. “Four of them were embedded in his skull,” a hospital spokesman said.
