Well not right outside, but accross the road.
5 minutes of Googling told me that this lot are the SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Life Cruelty), 7 of whose most senior members have just been banged up for blackmail.

These people really don't have anything better to do with their time. Hippy bastards. Go and get a bloody job I say!

I could come by, make a bonfire and dance naked around it.
I think I'd rather shut the curtains. Unless you agree to not take your clothes off
Don't forget the person dressed as a giant needle beside you.
I sincerely hope that was meant ironically...
Are you an animal rights person?
I doubt it was meant ironically, Thunderstruck often injects his pet mouse with all sorts
But only to see if it's safe for me
i can understand that they feel very strongly about it and sort of agree in principle if there were better alternatives but the way these freaks go about it is beyond the joke. They are nothing more than a gang of thugs, but with worse hygiene.
Deal with it.
Not to be harsh like... But it's their right to protest. There are different debates surrounding the use of animals in experimentation. These people are just giving their opinion.
Wearing lip-stick and smoking cigarettes.
theres a difference between protest and ruining peoples lives.
these people need locking up, same as those stupid twats who do the anti-capitalism riots, sorry i mean protests.
I agree pretty much! Though a lot of Animal Rights activists do take it too far. I am 'pro human' as I like to call it, if they need to test something on rats to see if it works I'm all for it. I think there should be rigorous scientific backing behind it though, rather than just poking animals with untested drugs to see if they die or not or at what level they die. Mind you, then we wouldn't have the LD50 for glorious things like caffeine.
Some...
You tend to get a mixed bag with people who believe in animal rights, or who are anti-capitalist. The spectrum is huge.
The majority of people won't be violent, as violence doesn't often do a campaign image much good. A lot of the time it's media hype.
But I do disagree with a lot of cases (not all) where breaking the law is used as a tactic for creating change, I mean in the form of hurting other people.
But as for the original post... I still don't see the issue with a demonstration.
Namaste, you may be right in that most of these hippy types merely want to protest peacefully and get things done in a democratic fashion though by associating with groups like SHAC, ALF and the biggest terror organisation of them all, PETA, who are known to operate well outside the bounds of the law to acheive their aim, they surely risk being tarred with the same brush and thus not being taken seriously.
My issue with the demo is that they were bloody noisy and prevented me doing any work for a good hour.
What a balanced argument you have. :rolleyes:
I know some people in the AR movement, same as with the anti-capitalist movement. The media does a number on making them look bad... There's reality, then there's what the media says.
Not that I allign myself with PETA. I dislike their campaign tactics (even some of the legal/main ones I find offensive and I live a vegan lifestyle :no: ), or say... Earth First, but the people who actually go out and commit violence are in the hugest minority.
But then where do you draw the line?
Million Women Rise, the anti-war marches, the cimate change demonstrations... They could all be seen as infringing rights.
Make sure there's only sustainably farmed soy milk in the tea and the biscuits are sourced locally, as to avoid the evils of the Mcvities corporate empire.
Else we'll have to go smash some shop windows and dig up some graves. :yes:
Noooooooooo! Not Alpro Soy! Nooooooo!
Okay, I would actual milk in my tea so go dig some graves.
I don't know. But I think it's something worth thinking about, rather than going cavalier (I just really wanted to use that word
I think you can have a happy medium of protesting whilst not intimidating people. Maybe the point of some protests is to intimidate people though...?
But then, it didn't really work.
I'm sure we've all had the experience of having a debate with someone who is extremely passionate about something, and gets so incensed by the debate they are intimidating. Now imagine 10,000 people like that protesting outside your workplace. Scary stuff.
You see? And I ignore those wankers. So I'd ignore thousands of them.
