On the 12th July, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) hold national march and rally [Report | Pics] to show the mass opposition to the fraudulent vivisection industry and the vile 'experiments' at Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). SHAC is an international campaign aiming to close HLS, the largest contract testing laboratory in Europe.
The rally in the park included info stalls and food/drink from Veggies before campaigners marched through Peterborough. The demonstration ended in Alconbury, so to meet the animal abusers who kill 500 animals every day of the week to test products such as weed killer, food colourings and drugs.

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) was set with the sole aim of closing HLS down. The campaign was set up at the end of 1999 by a group of activists who had successfully closed down Consort kennels and Hillgrove cat farm. Both campaigns ended with the businesses closing down and hundreds of animals being safely rehomed instead of tortured in labs.
SHAC campaigns for the closure of HLS using evidence obtained in five undercover investigations at their different laboratories in the UK and USA where HLS workers have been caught on film punching puppies in the face, simulating sex with animals in their care, cutting open primates while they are still alive and falsifying experiments to get products on the market. HLS workers have even been caught drunk at work and dealing drugs at the labs.
Huntingdon Life Sciences have a criminal record from a British court of law for breaking the Companies' Act. They are the only UK laboratory to ever have their licence revoked by the government.
Shareholders, stockbrokers, market makers, suppliers and clients have all dumped HLS, including the world's largest companies; all four main high street banks in the UK, the world's largest financial institution, the world's second largest bank and the world's largest insurance broker. Huntingdon are $89 million dollars in debt with NO commercial bank and insurance company anywhere in the world prepared to deal with them.

Shortly afterwards, on the occasion of the false flag of 911, zionists here and in the US claimed that muslims were behind a terrorist use of anthrax. Later, when most of the public were not looking, it was revealed that the anthrax was a weaponised form originating from one of Blair and Bush's military research labs.
Meanwhile, the people who foretold 911 (see PNAC), just as Mein Kampf foretold the horrors of the nazi war machine, stated that the US and UK must develop biological weapons that target the unique genetics of muslim and chinese people.
Those that fight government animal torture are in a similar situation to any that would have opposed the depraved medical experiments of the nazis or war time japanese. The subservient allies that Blair helped create in much of Europe, will exterminate any effort to roll back their biological weapons programs, muchly disguised as growth in commercial R+D.
This is Indymedia UK, so I can assume most of you regulars haven't a clue.

Here's proof that such information isn't even hidden from you in the mainstream press, if you care to look. These monsters are just as happy to use the homeless, or poor, or africans as substitutes for lab animals.

Here's another one. Research this story, and you'll find that maybe tens of thousands of elderly Humans were recently murdered by polish medical workers for small profit. No need to wonder why Hitler favoured poland as a location for death camps.
You should know that much of Europe has zero interest in animal rights, and often consider Humans of different skin colour as no better than animals. Guess what happens when New Labour puts scientists recruited from these nations to work producing biological and chemical weapons?
There is no Law in the UK and there is no Justice. There is just power, of the purest evil, cloaking itself in whatever form will keep enough of the sheep quiet for the required period. Most of the high ranking animal abusers in the UK claim to be 'atheists', and this is very important. Their particular cult of 'atheism' claims that there is no difference between processing an animal or Human, and any other resource you might take from the planet. We are all just mechanical soul-less machines to them.
You will find the same cult contained the monsters that did identical work back in WW2. The screams of a tortured cat, or homeless women, are no different to them than the screeching sound of an old car being torn apart for its raw materials. For them, 'scientific curiosity' out-weighs any amount of Human suffering (including, one must say, often their own).
Like all cults, the people who control and benefit from the collective actions of the cult members are not stupid enough to hold the same views or beliefs. This particular group of 'atheist' scientists work in the service of people who consider themselves very 'spiritual', although again a form of spiritual belief (as shown by Blair and Bush) that is depraved and evil to an infinite degree.
The men and women who have murdered untold tens of millions of people in Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, and most recently Somalia, would happily round up all low-level animal rights protestors in the UK, and use them for live vivisection (and their 'scientists' would jump at the chance for using test subjects of a more ideal genetic form). While this is still a few years away (but closer than you think- only a disgusting racist would claim that the UK will not follow in the footsteps of similar regimes), the state will still use the most extreme force now that does not damage the greater plan.
it will only get worse
