Personally speaking I find a lot of the actions of these extreme animal protestors appalling. I spoke to a friend recently who told me that the UK have much more rules and regulations regarding testing on animals. Therefore if these animal rights protestors succeeded in stopping all UK animal testing (which I very much doubt they will) then the testing will just be done elsewhere, without as much care taken over the animals.


Furthermore I abhor the actions of these people, who are, in my book, terrorists. I have heard awful stories about them, does anyone else remember a few years ago a journalist got branded witha hot iron for exposing a story on them? Also some guy got beaten to within an inch of his life for working for a company who has some dealings with animal testing.

Violence is an awful, awful way of getting your point across and it saddens me that in this case it has worked, because that will simply encourage this sort of behaviour. It is disgusting, and I would like to know how these extremists would act if a member of their own family needed life saving drugs that had been tested on animals.
