Every action has an equal and opposite reaction......

And keep strong. You got them to stop selling foie gras, and fight for the animals.

The police are lowlife scum who arrest those with hearts!

YAFA were raided on trumped-up allegations - it was a fishing expedition to sieze computers and mobile phones.

At 07.00 am doors were kicked in and a search warrant was produced - this was a political action by the police and although there are minor allegations - no criminal offences have been commited.

Perhaps it was only a matter of time before this happened, YAFA have been too successful to be left alone, but anyone that thinks that we are living in a democracy is living under an illusion - free speech and the right to peaceful protest is a joke.

More details will be posted when the dust settles, but be under no illusions the police have acted politically rather than investigating crime.

are now more interested in which shitty little restaurant may be losing some profit due to peaceful animal rights people peacefully protesting rather than being interested in the rescue of human lives in the UK.

Shame on the police (an understatement)

We all know where their orders eminate from.

To hell with them and their 'masters'.

I'm hearing that a female activist was dragged naked from her bed by male plod who sat on her while she was read her rights etc, perverts, absolute fucking perverts......no female officer present ! surely this cannot be right !

Cor blimey - the cops have gone an bit over the top eh?

It just doesn't seem right - when your house gets burgled and the police have no manpower to get to you to sort it out, and then as soon as then animal rights people want to give out leaflets suddendly there are hundreds of coppers available!

To be honest I have never had foie gras and from what I have read it should be banned and made illegal - fair play to the campaigners.

Coppers are paid for by US to investigate crime, not to bust some student hippys.

well done YAFA, I have seen your website - wish I could have done that when I was your age.
