The Leicester group of the Animal Liberation Investigation Unit visited Scraptoft Hall where animal experiments and breeding have taken place in the past by Leicester Polytechnic and, when they changed names, the Department for Molecular Biosciences of De Montfort University. The site has site has now been closed down and de-comissioned. We were prepared for the eventuality of finding animals, bringing along with us cameras to take footage and images.

The re-formed ALIU has two purposes:

* To investigate and expose institutions who partake in animal abuse, bringing to light the cruelty they are involved in. Through committing no criminal acts, we gain entry to centres of animal abuse and document our findings and release the results (whatever the result) publicly.

* To spread up-to-date information to help animal rights activists in demonstrating against and highlighting such institutions, which (if any choose to question our motives) is why we have been visiting sites and confirming if they have closed down or are still active.

The remaining animal unit for De Montfort University is:
