However, parts of the judgement were released last week, and timed nicely with newspaper reports on the issue. It also timed nicely as the “Badgers Unknown Against Vivisection” website once again appeared. As was reported in a previous article published on Indymedia, ( http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/10/300252.html) this site and similar ones have a habit of doing this at the right moment to fuel the mainstream media vendetta against animal rights at sensitive times.

As usual the sight disappeared before the animal rights movement got to hear of it, though no doubt Timothy Lawson-Cruttenden, the solicitor who is in charge of many of the injunctions will some how have got his hands on it and be presenting it before the courts as ‘evidence’.

So once again, there appears to be evidence that not all is well in the campaign against the anti-vivisection lobby, and there are some sections of it prepared to engage in underhand smear campaigns.

In other updates in the campaign to suppress the right to protest, one activist is back in court on Tuesday in an attempt to avoid losing their home to Huntingdon Life Sciences, despite being physically ill from being pushed off a tripod and not having campaigned against HLS for 18 months.
