A life wasted, nothing achieved, nothing changed. Proof of the stupidity of the entire Animal Rights movement. Forgotten except by a few nutters hanging around SHAC.

Now grown up after wasting teenage years in AR work.

Praising a firebomber?

The animal rights movement is shrinking and shrinking and no wonder. Having a march to praise a firebomber who miraculously didn't kill anyone with his dangerous actions is beyond stupid. Grow up and step up to the political stage if you think your ideas are right.

that getting involved in politics will not stop the torturers. 100 000 people marching on hls and all the other labs and physically dismantelling them would though. If they allowed cameras in the labs and filmed every sick experiment and showed them at 7pm every evening you will find 100 000 disgusted people in this country ready to act.

Normally I would allow myself to be drawn into a long and pointless argument with you about the legitimacy of property destruction in animal (or human for that matter) liberation movements but quite frankly it has been a long day and I can't be arsed so here's all you're getting:

Go fuck yourself. Barry was a warrior, a hero and an inspiration. I doubt you have done anything even NEAR the value of what he did for any movement you claim to be a part of. So you go on with your fuckwit petition activism or whatever it is you're into and let the real activists have a crack at making the world a better place.

By Any Means Necessary...
