Activists face thousands of Cancer Research supporters in Hereford

Anti-Tox | 10.07.2005 15:48 | Animal Liberation | Birmingham

Another day another demo against those 'charities' that fund animal torture!



One month after the last anti-vivisection demo at Cancer Research UK's 'race for life' fundraising event in Worcester, activists were back at the event staged this morning at Hereford racecourse, to expose the waste of money and lives that the animal testing industry wrecklessly sqaunders and plunders performing useless and cruel experiments on non-human animals whilst coming nowhere near to 'finding a cure for cancer'.

The companies that make unimaginably vast profits from releasing useless animal tested drugs onto the market, drugs that often go on to kill and maim hundreds of thousands of men, women and children every year due to the fraudulent and misleading practice of animal drug testing, must be exposed, at every corner.

What better event than the 'race for life' where people who want to see real cures are let down time and time again by the evil money grabbing vivisection industry. Their efforts and 'funds raised' by those efforts, poured down the drain, year after year. These people need to know that the cash they raise should be going to organisations that practice real science that is much more accurate due to it not using the misleading animal model in its research into human disease, who if funded sufficiently could be making real medical breakthroughs and advances in tackling the diseases that effect humanity.

3,000 runners and roughly the same amount of spectators were greeted by anti-vivisection banners as they entered the main gate of the course. The reception was much more positive than in Worcester where some hostility was encountered. People gladly took EFMA leaflets and leaflets that linked breast cancer to dairy produce. Not one derogatory word was spoken to activists, all smiles, a very polite affair with a handful of people stopping to chat.

As well as having the main display at the entrance, another activist was inside the course itself handing out leaflets. People were actually queing up for these! The organiser of the event came along with steward in hand and stopped the leafletting whilst the activist concerned argued the case of the irresponsibilty of the organisers to allow an ice cream van into the event!

Many hundreds of leaflets were given to runners and spectators alike, doubtlessly a few of them will have had their eyes opened and past lies they have been sold by the evil vivisectors and their cronies obliterated.

Till next year! For the animals always!
