Felix is a primate who is currently incarcerated inside Oxford University and will be used in a series of experiments into brain function. The Home Office licence granted for the long-term experiments on Felix allows the infliction of severe/substantial suffering.

Felix has been condemned by Oxford University to live the rest of his life behind bars in a cage that is barely big enough for him. Oxford University will never allow him to see beyond the bars into the natural world where he was born and once lived before being kidnapped and sold to the university. Oxford University will never allow him breathe the fresh air he once did. Oxford University will never allow him to interact and form relationships with his own kind ever again; he will be kept in isolation. His life now will be one of torment and suffering……unless we help him!

Oxford University's vivisectors will implant electrodes deep into his brain peeling away the top of his skull, yet Felix suffering will not end there, this is just a beginning, as Felix can expect months even years of experiments to be performed on him……unless we help him!

Finally, when he has served his tormentors’ purpose and outlived his usefulness, he will be killed and dumped like a piece of rubbish…..unless we help him!

But there is hope for Felix and you are that hope, we are that hope. Already a sanctuary has agreed to take Felix, help us to ‘Free Felix’, Felix needs you and we need you to help us. Wherever you live in the UK, Europe or even the World please join us and together we can Free Felix. Felix is a bright sentient individual whose life belongs to him and no one else.

Join us in Oxford and together we can free Felix from his nightmare.

Stalls

There will be a number of stalls representing aspects of the animal rights movement.

Food

Hot & Cold vegan food will be provided, catering for a wide variety of tastes. Both hot & cold drinks will also be available

Transport to the Felix March and Rally

Coming by Car If you are coming by car, you might prefer to use the Park and Rides. The Seacourt Park and Ride on Botley Road is very convenient for Oxpens Park, you could walk it in 15 minutes. For details of all the Park and Ride options see http://www.parkandride.net/oxford/html/oxford_frameset.html There is a car park right next to Oxpens Park where the rally takes place, but it only has a capacity of 75, so you may have to be early to get a space. There are other options in the City Centre, for details see http://www.oxfordcity.co.uk/info/parking.html

After the SPEAK National Demo on Sat 1st September why not join the SPEAK Team. Instead of going back to your homes come and join us for an evening of films, music and entertainment.

Overnight camping is also available for £10 a tent, so you wont have to worry about getting back home until the next day but please book a pitch through SPEAK first, on 0845 330 7985.

At the end of most national demos campaigners disperse to various parts of the country. All that has changed and this will give everyone a unique opportunity to stay behind after the event and to talk and enjoy the company of fellow campaigners from other parts of the UK and even other parts of the world.
