Stunning victory for the animal rights movement.

As many of you have already heard, Cambridge University has announced
that they are not going ahead with the proposed primate laboratories
at 307 Huntingdon Road. This is fantastic news down to the collective
power of the animal rights movement. So a big thank you to one and
all who took part in achieving this victory!

Let there be no doubt about this, it was everyone who took part in
the grassroots campaign against it that won the final battle. The
university said that it was the cost of security that forced their
hand. To quote one of their spokespeople, “We are not able to build
and run Fort Knoxâ€.

But it was not just the spiralling of costs of the lab security (£24
million to £32 million). It was the threat, often put into action, of
constant protest at the entire University, and the negative impact we
were having on their donors worldwide. We hit them were they were
most vulnerable – their finances and left them with no choice.

SPEAC has always said that the government could say what they wanted,
but that if Cambridge University did not want to build these labs,
then they would not be built. Quite wonderfully, everyone who
contacted the University or took part in the demonstrations forced
their hands. They were warned what to expect if they took on the
animal rights movement, and they found out that we are people of our
word.

No doubt there will be future attempts to build labs elsewhere in the
country, but we will be there to fight them, tooth and nail. For now
though, celebrate that you helped stop thousands of primates of all
different species being taken from their homes and families in the
wild to suffer at the hands of sadistic and pointless science. We can
feel justly proud of our achievements, another in a long line of
animals abuse centres stopped in their tracks.

In the meantime an important message has been sent out to
universities across the United Kingdom not to get involved in such
research, for if mighty Cambridge can only put up a pathetic fight,
then they have no chance against us if we were to turn our attention
to them. Likewise, the scientists who wanted to abuse the primates
will have do some real research now using techniques which do not
torture loving, sentient creatures.

Again, thank you to all to took part.
We will be back!

Please feel free to forward this message on.
