Thought Police ban AR activist from the UK

25-08-2005 12:54

Dr. Steve Best, determined American activist and liberationist, has been banned from entering the United Kingdom by the British Home Office for the purpose of speaking at the Newchurch Victory Gathering on Saturday September the 3rd in Burton. This of course makes a mockery of the Human Rights Act and trivialises any concept of 'free speech' that may be left. Dr. Best has always argued his comments have been sensationalised and taken completely out of context but now stands aside Dr. Jerry Vlasak as another animal advocate who cannot enter the UK and join us to celebrate this extraordinary victory for animal rights.

Real Radio are advertising for Covance who have been exposed numerous times for animal abuse. Below is an extract from an undercover investigation at their Harrogate labs:

"When i saw the sick monkey, i could not believe his condition. This morning he was a very lively monkey... As I looked i saw him, he could only just about sit on his perch. He had his head between his knees and he was making short howling noises. As he looked up at me i saw his pitiful withdrawn face... As he slowly tried to turn towards the back of his cage, he fell of his perch onto the metal grid bottom. He had dried blood stains around his mouth."
