Camden Residents Against "B.L.I.S.S." Lab | 01.11.2007 06:34 | Animal Liberation | Bio-technology | Social Struggles | London | World

The protest is against the sale of govt land to the NIMR / MRC - in order to build the world's largest ever animal testing lab & virus containment facility. The site is at Brill Place, Camden - London, on a council house estate & very close to Kings Cross / Channel Tunnel link. MI5 leaked the news amid security concerns.
Protest at Camden Town Hall - Judd Street - {off of Euston Road}. Camden London WC1 - 5th November 6.30pm

The demo is co-organised between "Our Land Our Homes Our Communiy / Camden Residents Against "B.L.I.S.S." LAb / supported by London Animal Rights.
They are worried about security of the virus containment - [foot & mouth / avian flu were lababorotary leaks] / the site could become a target. The danger from transportation of vruses /hazards is very great.
Many are aginst animal cruelty.
All of the Camden residents / businesses / visitors say that the area, one of the most deprived in the UK [and London] say that the land should be used for the people of Camden. They want council homes, youth facilities, music facilities, affordable sport facilities and some green space.
The site could become an area for disruption if the sale /attempted buiding goes ahead. The area is residential.
