Another victory for the animals, the animal liberation movement and the people! Well done to SPEAC (Stop primate experiments at Cambridge) for orchestrating the actions against this once proposed hell hole!!

Just goes to show that people do have the power, together, to change things.

1pm news today said _one_ of the reasons quoted was fear of escalating police / security costs. A woman from national anti-vivisection campaign said that last year cambridge uni said security costs were not an issue, and now she believes they are saying this because they do not want their scientific evidence justifying the experiment centre to pass under public scrutiny in the review.

great news!

What a pity the animal rights activists have forced this to happen. The lab will go ahead now but in another country, where they don't have any where near as strict laws relating to animal experimentation. It's beyond me why so mcuh energy is directed towards medical animal experimentation, which does have many positive outcomes in terms of disease treatments and the reduction of suffering for both human and vetinary medical science.

What I would like to see is the wrath of the protesters directed towards other industires involving animal suffering. For example, the intensive farming industry in this country puts far more animals through far more suffering than medical experimentation - and the only positive outcome from this is so that people can conduct the totally unescassary task of assuaging their desire to eat flesh?! I mean what the fuck is that all about...

It's time for the animal rights people to get reasses their priorities.

Steve's just a bad loser. On all 'victory posts' today he's whinged and whined to try and divert the overwhelming success of the SPEAC campaign in stopping this concentration camp from happenning.

... So, to you steve, PISS OFF and leave the celebrations to us! :)))

Oh I am sorry, is this comments thing for celebrations? I thought it was for discussion. I have posted two commenst today questioning why animal rights activists target medical research ahead of factory farming. If that upsets you then i'm sorry. It would be nice to hear some reasoned arguments though :o)

I have a relative whom may well be suffering from Alzheimer's, but, this hasn't in ANY way changed my opinions on vivisection, because, DESPITE the fact that possibly hundreds (maybe thousands) of our fellow species have died in the process of 'research' into finding a cure for Alzheimer's none has still been found, and my relative will most likely still die of it.

This is probably due to the minor technical problem that a Monkey's Brain is not a Human's Brain (obvious as that may seem to anyone outside that part of the 'scientific' community that chooses to chop up Monkey Brains in the name of Human research).

Big Up to the Dr.Hadwen Trust I say - keep up the good work of disproving the doubters(like Steve above) by doing medical research that doesn't involve mass murder.

Vivsisection, like most of these entrenched behaviours (on the part of the powers-that-be)has more to with making money and abeyance with trade laws than with research.

As for your rather flippant comments about the meat industry, well, they're part and parcel of the same corporate money making machine that also thought that 'free trade' involves the massacre of Iraqis.

You want to change this..?

There's only one way, baby, and it begins AT HOME!!
