Yesterday morning, West Yorkshire Police raided two houses of animal rights campaigners in Leeds following alledged offences in connection with fur-shop Next One Leather.
Two arrests were made and those were bailed in connection with an alledged Criminal Damage, the only basis for their arrests being that they attended protests outside Next One Leather.
According to the police, the words "Fur Scum" were spraypainted on the home of the shop's owner, some kind of corrosive liquid poured over his vehicle and its tires punctured.
Those arrested have pleaded their innocence and have stated that they were at no point involved in this and the only 'evidence' presented to them was that they attended a peaceful demonstration about the fur trade at the Next One Leather shop.
Only a summary has been released for legal reasons and, until further notice, this is all that is being published.

Solidarity for those arrested, police have given up trying to find out whoever it was so instead they've resorted to pinning it on legal campaigners. Typical really, in between handing out parking tickets, speeding fines, they have time to harass legal activists. Evidently they're getting pissed off because unlike NETCU's predictions a few years ago, the animal rights movement is still soldiering on.
Fuck NETCU, fuck the police!

Birds has been used to describe women for years, is it different because the discrimination is sexist rather than just speciesist?
