In a week that saw a conservative estimate of 115million put on the number of animals abused and killed each year worldwide in so-called scientific research, SPEAK campaign supporters met twice in Oxford to demonstrate their opposition to Oxford University's contribution to this shameful and disgusting statistic.
SPEAK Campaign supporters met opposite Oxford's new animal abuse lab
to campaign against the University's barbaric treatment of the
sentient beings who will be tortured and killed inside it, as they
have done every week for the past four and a half years. Campaigners
of all ages, some who have been with SPEAK from the beginning, others
who have been drawn to the campaign more recently having heard the
appalling truth about the horrors perpetrated against the animals
imprisoned within university labs,
A very vibrant demonstration greeted all those who travelled down
South Parks road as nearly 30 SPEAK supporters protested and chanted
for four hours against the animal experiments being carried out by
Oxford University.
Oxford University showed themselves up today in their continuing
attempts to stifle free speech and to censure what their members see
and hear. Whilst SPEAK supporters stood outside the degree ceremonies
that were being held and handed out literature to those entering the
college, Oxford University staff were taking the leaflets off people
when they entered the hall, saying "we don’t think you need that".
About 25 SPEAK supporters gathered for the regular Thursday demo
outside Oxford University’s new animal torture lab today. During the
demo a bio-statistician who has worked in the area of Parkinson’s
disease research stopped to say that in her experience, the methods
used by Oxford University of inflicting brain damage on monkeys is
not relevant to finding cures for human patients.
