Animal activists burn cars

BY CHLOE ARNOLD

OFF-DUTY staff at a research centre carrying out experiments on animals awoke to find their cars had been set alight yesterday.
Police said that it was only luck that had prevented a murder. No one was hurt but a pregnant woman was treated in hospital for stress.

Five cars parked outside the homes of employees of Huntingdon Life Sciences in the village of Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, were set on fire by animal-rights activists. A sixth attempt failed.

A spokesman for the centre said: "It is extremely fortunate that nobody was hurt or killed,but they certainly created a lot of damage." Security at the centre had been increased in recent months, he said, but protecting employees in their homes would be difficult.

The staff affected were not all involved in experiments on animals, he said. "We don't know exactly why these people were targeted, but we do know that some of their names and addresses have been included in campaign propaganda written against us."

The centre carries out experiments on rats, rabbits, dogs and cats to develop medicines. "The Government insists that such experiments take place," the spokesman said. "It is fully regulated."

Cambridgeshire police said it was the second spate of arson attacks on the cars of people connected with the centre.

Not that this had anything to do with anything, but I thought I would point it out.

I think you have done us a service by pointing this out. The animal rights crowd and the anti-RKBA crowd aren't too far apart. They use the same tactics (emotionalism, divide and conquer, attack at both ends) to reach the same goal: more govt control of our lives and liberties.

It`s also a cowardly act because the cars are probably insured, you can`t shoot or beat the c**p out of them, and if they`re caught, the courts will fine them which of course comes out of a general fund. It`s easy to make a statement when there`s no risk.
