We look forward to meeting new people and sharing ideas on how to fight the lab.
The lab itself is backed by Gordon Brown see http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/BLISS-Lab the MRC, UCL, and CRUK.
The UCKCMRI [based on Euston Road at the Wellcome Trust who put in £100 million] have said that they will not be using cats, dogs or primates at the lab. They have not however ruled out the use of horses, donkeys, goats, cattle, sheep, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, marine animals, mice, rats and other animals for experiments.
The lab plans have been criticised by MI5 [via the Evening Standard], MPs, local councillors and businesses. The threat of virus leak is very real, Foot and Mouth disease was leaked from similar govt facility in Pirbright in Surrey.
Stop Camden Animal Lab [We used to be called London Against Camden Danger Lab] has been quoted in, mentioned by and have had articles & published in the Camden New Journal, Camden Gazette, Islington Gazette, The Evening Standard, thelondonpaper, London Lite etc.
Resident campaigners have appeared on the BBC and we have been interviewed by the Gaurdian newspaper who published a great article.
As we are completely skint we need a space that we can use for free and where we won't have to buy anything.
