I don't believe I once said it was legal, or that I condoned their actions. I support their cause though.
Campaigns to stop animal testing have been going for years, and despite there being alternatives to animal testing, no legislation has been brought forward to change things - nor does their appear to be any official support for this cause on the horizon. I don't agree with their actions, but they obviously felt they had nothing left to do. And lets face facts, it worked...
