Wow that’s pretty amazing. I wonder if this defence can be used in actions against the meat/dairy/egg industry, as it is a huge cause of climate change. Worse than all of transport combined according to the UN.

NOTE: It’s not a legal precedent, apparently, so warning – this defence may not apply in all cases.

After all, the chemicals made by the likes of Bayer, Dow, Clariant etc all go on to kill people and the environment.

For example, Clariant (formerly Part of Novartis-Sandoz) & Bayer export a lot of their chemicals to Chile for use in the tomato plantations and lots of the people there get cancer as a result.

Stop Bayer, Clariant and Dow and you prevent the loss of life (an exception used in the case) of people who will die of cancer!

Every action has a reaction and every law has a viable loophole!

Fuck you SOCPA!

I wonder if a similar defence can be used to, say, disable a very polluting car such as a 4x4/SUV?
