Oxford University Claims Victory Against Animal Rights Activists
Submitted by Ryan O'Meara on May 26, 2006 – 3:38 am5 Comments
Oxford University has won a high court ruling that will further restrict the rights of animal rights activists protesting against the building of a controversial new research laboratory that uses animals for medical experimentation.
The ruling dictates that protestors would not be allowed to take photographs of people leaving the construction site, follow them home, or use megaphones to intimidate staff or students.

Research using animals is barbaric and outdated. The practice of vivisection only guarantees continued grant money and funding. It has nothing at all to do with human welfare. We are simply pawns in their game of greed with their only desire to pad their own pockets and keep their jobs.
Animal testing tells us nothing reliable or consistent. We need only to look at the hundreds of products out on the market that have offered ‘approved’ animal test results and yet humans were being hurt and even dying.
They need to be stopped. Keep protesting!!

stupid ba****ds, torturing innocent animals in the name of science. Trying to fool people that the biological differences between species dont exsist. Endangering human lifes along the way of the masochistic life stlyes. blood thirsty w*****rs, wonder if they’d like to be a test subject for one of their experimants. In the words of scrappy doo “let me at ‘em, let me at ‘em” GRRRRRRRRRRRRR they make me so mad!!!!!!!!!

We have been testing on animals for well over 100 years and look where it has got us……nowhere. All animal testing is for monetary gain only and I would argue with anyone who disagrees. Maybe we should test our products and medicines on rapists, and serial killers, anyone else agree?

Animal testing is a vital part of medical research – many of the drugs we have available today to prevent, treat and cure diseases would not exist were it not for animal research. These drugs have saved millions of lives worldwide.
Researchers and pharmaceutical companies are striving to replace animals with more humane methods, but this is a gradual process. Until then, they work towards reduction and refinement.
Animals in labs are also kept in much better conditions that people are led to believe. The conditions of many pets are far worse, especially when you see what RSPCA inspectors have to deal with every day.
I have no problem with protestors so long as they are peaceful, I think this ruling was very positive.
