There are plans to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab in Kings Cross alongside St Pancras Eurostar. The lab could be a level 3 lab which means that it could contain deadly pathogens such as anthrax and bird flu. The lab has been criticised at govt level, by MI5, MPS, councillors, residents, local businesses, charities and animal rights activists. We are holding a meeting next week at Housmans Bookshop, 5 Caledonian Road, Kings Cross, London N1.

There are plans to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab alongside St Pancras Eurostar. Foot and mouth disease was leaked from a similar govt faciltiy Pirbright in Surrey. Stop Camden Animal Lab is an inclusive campaign made from local people who are against the lab.

Here`s some news from today`s Independant that will surprise and open the eyes of many people. Please forward this important news to your friends and family.

As the day of action for the G20 approaches it’s worth noting the interconnectedness of the corporate exploiters in the City of London.

Over the past decade, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty—SHAC—has waged an international direct action campaign against Huntingdon Life Sciences, Europe’s largest contract animal testing corporation. By targeting investors and business partners of HLS, SHAC repeatedly brought HLS to the brink of collapse; it took direct assistance from the British government and an international counter-campaign of severe legal repression to keep the corporation afloat.

In the wake of this campaign, there has been talk of applying the SHAC model in other contexts, such as environmental defense and anti-war organizing. But what is the SHAC model, precisely? What are its strengths and limitations? Is it, in fact, an effective model? If so, for what?

This analysis explores these questions in depth, charting the history of anti-HLS organizing and reviewing subsequent attempts to utilize the same tactics.

To mark World Day for Animals in Laboratories, thousands of campaigners from all over the UK and beyond will be gathering in London on April 25 to call for an end to vivisection with a march from Hyde Park through the centre of London.

Militant anti-speciesists are calling for a Direct Action & Solidarity Bloc in support of militant direct action, imprisoned liberationists and campaigns facing severe state and corporate repression.

"Come enjoy the London International Dive Show (LIDS) and visit the Sea Shepherd information stall (stand number 554) to meet with crew and purchase Sea Shepherd merchandise. Captain Paul Watson will also be in attendance at the event as the featured guest speaker. "

There are plans to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab on a Camden Council house estate, Somers Town near Kings Cross. Stop Camden Animal Lab is the campaign fighting to stop the is. We are a peaceful inclusive group of Animal Rights activists and non AR people from Camden and Islington areas. We are asking that council homes and community facilties be built on the land at Brill Place instead of the lab which could be a level 3 facility. See below for address.

There is less than one month to go until the National March and Rally in London to mark World Day for Animals in Laboratories on Saturday April 25th. Already campaigners are planning to travel to London from across the UK, with still more coming from other countries such as France, Sweden, Holland, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain.

Due to these sundry laws and numerous injunctions, aboveground activists found that they were told where they could protest, for how long, with how many people, and what they could and could not say. Home demonstrations were prohibited, and the state placed increasingly severe restrictions on activist use of Internet sites, as those arrested for the crime of MDA have received hefty jail sentences.
