A number of universities have begun a new tactic in a desperate attempt to stop awareness spreading about their conduction of vivisection by issuing banning orders to known local animal rights activists.

This goes to show that a nerve has been struck by campaigners, involved in exposing and demonstrating against vivisection and animal abuse inside the hidden walls of academic laboratories.

We would like to make it clear to those universities that they can ban as many activists as they like, but we will not surrender our right to protest at their campuses and let people know they conduct animal experimentation. Our principles are stood strongly by, opposing animal research on the grounds of science and cruelty and we will not be silenced.
