Local cancer researcher driven to nonviolent direct action due to the lack of funding into research that does not involve unsafe & unscientific experiments for greedy corporations who are robbing cancer charities & tax payers of billions & coming up with drugs like Thalidomide with Goverment complicity

Doctor Joe Harris from Nottingham University just got 3years for pumping water into empty buildings. He is a v.inntelligent fun,young man who loves & cares for people & animals. Its shocking he was driven into despair, due to ourgovernments & the EU's greedy corporate research policies that make unsafe,cheap drugs appear safe for human consumption. Its well known that substances safe in one animal can kill another, for example chocolate can kill dogs. Drug companies are harming the public & steal billions from cancer charities.
Cigarette smoke, asbestos, arsenic, benzene, alcohol and glass fibres are all safe to ingest, according to animal studies.
Assualt & far worse crimes get lesser sentences, what sortof world are we being forced into?. He is the first person to be convicted under Serious and Organised Crime Act, supposedly designed for far worse.Paedophiles get less police attention from our new national police force than people facing huntsmen & corporate oafs armed with guns & whips who try to run them over every week,one activist Jill Phips was "killed" by a lorry driver in 1995,recently teenagers have also been seriously ran over protesting illegal hunts.
Greedy corporations try & stop herbalism because they cant easily patent them & make billions.Qualified herbalists use scientific knowledge of their plants studied over thousands of years.Chinese government is bad, but at least they fund herbalism & acupuncture.

Support Dr Joe if more tax payers money is taken away from the NHS to fund repression & corporations you could be next. Contact Vegan Prisoner Support 020 8292 8325 www.vpsg.org/ or write to Dr Joseph Harris (TN5728), HMP Woodhill, Tattenhoe Street, Milton Keynes, Bucks MK4 4DA.



Corporate Genetically modified drugs"monoclonal antibodies", like the recent Tegenero scandal in London were tested safe on animals before disfiguring causing test patients to have limbs removed. Thalidomode & countless other drugs tested on animals have caused death or mutations & some antibiotics have already breed resistant super viruses. Alot more people will die "accidently", due to greed unless we have a well funded NHS & a healthier community & planet.

Dr Richard Klausner, former director of the US National Cancer Institute (NCI), lamented: ‘The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse. We have cured mice of cancer for decades, and it simply didn’t work in humans.’ The NCI also believes we have lost cures for cancer because they were ineffective in mice.
Arthritis drug Vioxx, withdrawn from the global market in September 2004, appeared to be safe and even beneficial to the heart in animals, but caused as many as 140,000 heart attacks and strokes in the US alone. The associate safety director of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) described it as the ‘single greatest drug-safety catastrophe in the history of the world’.
Many studies published in the scientific literature comparing drug side effects in humans and animals have found animal tests to be less predictive than tossing a coin. One review of human-animal correlation in drugs that had been withdrawn because of adverse reactions found that animal tests predicted the human side effects only six out of 114 times.Arthritis drug Vioxx, withdrawn from the global market in September 2004, appeared to be safe and even beneficial to the heart in animals, but caused as many as 140,000 heart attacks and strokes in the US alone. The associate safety director of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) described it as the ‘single greatest drug-safety catastrophe in the history of the world’.

campaigns like that for political activists like Mark Barnsley who was imprisoned after he defended himself and his baby from an attack by drunk students in Sheffield. We got him released early by campaigning at the Crown Prosecution Service & outside prisons were he was held in solitary. Joe embodies everything good about people campaigning against stupid & unjust vivisection, if he wants we can try to set up a campaign to release Joe & expose the corruption & injustice thats happening.
