    Basically the over all organisation which represents pharmacuitical companies in the UK has said that animal rights groups have made it very hard to do research here.

    This is because of their actions against shareholders, people who supply the companies, people who are friends with people who work at the companies.

    If you're got a problem you protest in legal ways, write to your MP, you get petitions together etc.

    There is no excuse for physical violence. None.

    Undoubtedly though, the gov will cave into the big money pressure rather than fire its own salvo back at these rampant profiteers by informing them that if they "pull out" they can kiss goodbye any market access into the UK for their products.

    Its time these monolithic entities were smacked down and forced to face their obligations to serve the people from whom they have for so long profitted.

    It's probably in response to last night's 'Tonight With Trevor McDonald' im which ITV inflitrated some mad murdering activists.

    thankyou bong i only got about thirty seconds of it as i was reversing into the gate post.
    will the government be able to do very much about these animal terrorists?
    it is said we are looking at loosing between eight and ten thousand jobs already for vermin foxes ...so now a whole set of industries may be driven out of the country by the same people ...

    A bit unfair on the pharm companies, I feel.

    PETA don't represent me, they don't represent the "people". They are terrorist vermin: if they feel that testing new and dangerous drugs on animals is so bad, test them on PETA terrorists instead.

    The pharm companies are right. PETA terrorists need to be getting twenty years in jail, and not any old jail either, that horrible random converted ship near Poole.

    Do you want to suggest a better alternative.

    Moving the jobs out of the UK will make NO impact on testing what so ever, it will just move it somewhere else, somewhere with less controls than here.

    So, in terms of animal welfare its better testing is done here where it can be regulated than elsewhere.

    So it's just a case of moving jobs from the UK to some other country then.

    Is that the main priority?

    would you prefer thousands of job losses here and animal torture to explode big time in some less regulated country?
