I think the way the ‘terrorists’ did this was clever and right.
The bastards that where farming guinea pigs to be sold to be tested on needed something like this to close down the company.
The guinea pigs have as much right as us to be alive.

I don’t agree with the desecretation of a grave (if they ARE guilty of this), but I do understand the frustration faced by ani-vivisectors when no real change or progress is made. The end result was that the vile guinea pig farm closed down, and to me that is a cause for celebration. Simply put, direct action does has its place, and if somebody raided HLS or any other god awful research lab and rescued the caged animals, lots of people would want to shake their hand, me included. The fact that they got 12 years for “blackmail” offences is sickening, when paedophiles get 5 years. Where is the justice in that?

the animal rights movement will be won with peaceful progress not with fear…. but if we were talking about concentration camps as oppossed to vivesection labs, breeding farms and other such establishments, maybe people would think differently.
A dead body is a dead body…. the guinea pigs were alive. I do not approve of such actions because of the bad publicity that it gives to the animal rights movment. The press dont seem to like us at all lately… Terrorists and all. i’m sure if you met me you’d be soooooo terrified. NOT.
( also…. what has this got to do with dogs exactly? or are you trying to make animal rights activists look bad too? why noy publicise some of the positive effects that occur from our actions?)

The “big brother” society takes another step forward today with MSP,s voting for another ban- this time on tail docking! The absolute arogance by the people bringing forward this bill is astounding. We won a devolved parliament after centuries, and this is how they improve the lot of the scottish people? The problems facing scotland today are not hard to see- poor infrastructure, education and health in utter chaos! and DRUGS. Nothing is being done constructively to deal with these! Yet our flabby overpaid ( and too many) MSP,s pontificate on long held cutural matters that they and their wooly headed advisors have deemed ” Not condusive to modern thinking”. Wake up people! What makes Scotland is its people, cuture and history, dont let the essence of scots be crushed by even more legislation on our lifestyle!

I agree wholeheartedly with mary’s comment.

I am really surprised by the moral outrage people are expressing about animal rights “extremism.” For one thing, the press reports have been incredibly biassed, and haven’t reminded people of what the guinea pig breeders actually did. Without that context people won’t understand why anyone would take “extreme” action. I’m sick of people comparing animal rights activists to terrorists, or Al Qaeda. How can a world wide movement that has never killed anyone be equated to people who murder thousands?

Get a grip folks. Terrorists kill people. Gruesome though the grave robbing was (and let’s remember, the folks who have been locked up are not charged with grave digging but blackmail) it’s not murder or rape. There are sodding rapists who get less than these men will serve. Where is the justice in that?

If you knew anything about the animal rights movement you would know that there are NO heads.
The movement is made up of individuals who are responsible for their own actions, and can do whatever they want.
