No abuse for this direction - but unlike you, I sympathise with the jailed campaigners. When it comes to the issue of animal research, the law is hugely weighted in favour of the drug companies who fund it, and contrary to the self-serving propoganda perpetrated by these companies, most of it is of no measurable benefit to the human race at all.

Property desctruction is necessary evil in order to publicise the issue and penetrate the veil of secrecy that surrounds animal testing - if there was nothing to hide, there'd be no need for secrecy. But why do you think no-one is allowed inside animal labs other than the people who work there ? We're told such regulations exist in order to protect the safety of the researchers, but I smell bullshit there from the get-go.


Property destruction is not a necessary evil in order to publicise the issue. You would be hard pressed to find anyone that does not know about it, and fairly hard pressed to find someone that doesn't object to it.
This issue is a prime example of something that is allowed to continue through publis apathy. We all hate it, we all think it should stop but no one is pushing the issue in a way that will make the public stand up and be counted.
Animal rights campaigners are, on the whole, a great group of people that work selflessly for a great cause. Muppets like these actually do the drug companies a big favour - the public can look at what these people did and despise them instead of the people they should despise.

As for no one being allowed in except the people who work there, well if your family are going to be targeted ecause of your work you will end up being one secretive mother fucker.

Allowing the researchers to be on the right end of public sympathy is not acceptable - we need to find a better way.
