This section includes pictures from the picket of British Heart Foundation shop on Burleigh Street, near the Grafton Centre.

The picket effectively besieged the shop for the best part of an hour, with a grand finale of a cacophany of loudhailer sirens followed by a collective single finger salute (see picture) to this charity that have done so much to promote the cause of animal liberation.

On the way back to Parkers Piece up Burleigh Street the group briefly stopped off at the Cancer Research UK shop as well, other known supporters of vivisection.

A few more high spirited individuals even opportunistically harangued a local Quiksilver branch, which although not linked to animal right issues certainly do encourage strife of another kind.

The whole protest was peaceable (if not peaceful, with lots of chanting and sirens) and nobody got hurt, which is more than can be said for the millions of animals still trapped in laboratories up and down the country.

Great to see

I have been feeling really bad of late at how little animal rights work and protest there has been in the UK so it's great to see some people marching in the streets once again. Of course it's a shame at how few people turned out but from small acorns do mighty oaks grow. I'm sure with work and commitment we can rebuild AR in this country after the shac betrayal - all it takes is commitment.

If you were ill (e.g. dying of cancer), you would never accept any drug or medical treatment (surgery etc.) that had previously been tested on animals? Otherwise, you are full of shit, and an enema is probably verboten for you as well.
