A NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM SPEAK - THE VOICE FOR THE RIGHTS OF ANIMALS As we enter the New Year, SPEAK's resolve to fight for the rights of the animals imprisoned inside Oxford University 's new torture lab is stronger than ever. The SPEAK Campaign is not, and never has been, about the bricks and mortar of that monstrous building on South Parks Road, it is about fighting for the rights of the animals who are destined to suffer and die within its walls in barbaric experiments at the hands of Oxford University researchers. And what we demand for these, and all animals, is simple; the fundamental legal right not to be treated as 'things', as property, or resources. Read more...

Demo Reports - 2nd & 4th December SPEAK is no longer campaigning against the bricks and mortar of Oxford University’s new animal torture lab, but is now concentrating on the actual animals themselves. The monkeys, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice and others who face a life of unimaginable discomfort and agony trapped inside the laboratory prisons that they will never leave alive.

Degree Ceremony Demo Report – Sat 29 November It’s bad enough for animals to be kept behind bars; to be denied the space and stimulation they need, to be deprived of their natural environments and the companionship of their own kind. But what is inexcusable is for these same animals to then be experimented on, to have ‘procedures’ carried out on them which leave them altered, disabled, wounded and in pain.

For the animals imprisoned inside Oxford University Christmas day is
just another day of suffering and waiting to die. It is for this
reason that nearly thirty SPEAK supporters met together just across
the road from the new animal torture lab to let those driving past,
and the university, know that there is no day that the lives of the
animals aren’t being fought for.
Yet again SPEAK supporters were out in the city of Oxford to
highlight the atrocities carried out on animals by Oxford University.
Whether demonstrating outside the university’s new lab or collecting
signatures in the city centre, the message from SPEAK is loud and
clear - animal experiments will not be tolerated, and the response
from the public shows this feeling is shared by many.
xford University employees and Oxford Councillors were just some of
the people that signed the SPEAK petition when a stall and demo was
set up in Cornmarket Street. The streets were packed with Christmas
shoppers and tourists who couldn’t fail to see the message that
Oxford is a city of animal abuse.
On Thursday 27th November, 2008 SPEAK Campaign supporters came to
Oxford to speak out for the rights of all the innocent, sentient beings suffering inside its university's laboratories. While most of the campaigners took up their usual place opposite the
new animal torture lab on South Parks Road for the regular weekly demo, a small group of campaigners walked round to Magdalen College,
Oxford University’s new animal torture lab this week in continuing
efforts to highlight the suffering of animals inside the many labs
run by this institution. On Tuesday 18th there was a demo in Cornmarket Street, the main
pedestrian Street in the city,
For the third consecutive day SPEAK supporters were out in the City
of Oxford highlighting the horrendous suffering of the animals
imprisoned inside Oxford University’s labs. Suffering which will
increase with the opening of the new animal torture lab.
