STOP THE OXFORD ANIMAL LAB

Meet 12.30pm, Broad Street, outside Balliol College, Oxford OX1 3BJ



Oxford University are currently engaged in building a new animal torture centre on South Parks Rd. They persistently tried to cover up their true intentions for the new building, and when their propaganda was exposed as a tissue of lies, they tried to silence campaigners opposing the new laboratory by taking out an injunction against them to prevent them from disseminating the truth.

The police were recently called in to investigate allegations of cruelty to a monkey. The monkey was suffering from a brain infection caused by electrodes being inserted into its brain, through a chamber in its head. Despite requests from both the vet and the Home Office Inspector for the monkey to be put out of its misery the vivisector refused to comply with the request because the monkey was an "Asset". Eventually he was forced to back down but not soon enough to prevent the long-drawn out suffering of this animal.

The lab on South Parks Rd is only half built; work has been halted for the last 19 weeks but could resume very soon. It may have been too late to save this monkey, but it's not too late to stop the further development of this project, where countless other animals are destined to suffer a similar fate if it goes unopposed. Let's show them that we are determined to stop this new laboratory from ever being completed.

Stand up and SPEAK for the animals NOW!



The following harrowing images were taken inside the animal laboratories at Cambridge University.

They serve as a shocking reminder of what sort of abuse will take place at Oxford if we allow part of what was to take place at Cambridge to move to the new research centre currently under construction at Oxford

This monkey is highly distressed

This tiny baby monkey was gassed to death

This monkey is dead

This monkey is undergoing painful surgery to his head

This monkey too is dead

Here are many dead baby monkeys their bodies just thrown away into a plastic bag and put out for rubbish

Another miserable monkey undergoing pointless tests

They are used merely as scientific objects, and this is how they end up.


A few hours of your day will make all the difference, if you consider yourself a compassionate animal lover, then prove it to yourself, your friends and most importantly the animals because they are dependant on people like us.

Added + If you go into the announcments board there is a thread were you can add.

[HAZ]

Come on you guys we cant keep wasting our time making new threads and coming up with new places to advertise which might as well not be done. We've got to take action, send emails, arrange some demo's whether youre making people aware of what you believe in out whether your participating in animal activism hands on it makes all the difference. By sustaining pressure on companies you are really making a huge difference, so stop talking about irrelevant idea's and start planning on what you can do where you can go and when you can do it.
You may have a tight schedule but dont i? and dont the hundreds of other activists? yeah they do but only by staying positive and doing something positive youre showing direct action

I don't see any difference between human vivisection and primate vivisection.
It is murder!

[Elez]

I totally agree with you, when people tell me that humans should be tested on instead of animals it really gets me angry, NO ONE should be subject to pain on the level of pain that is vivisection be it human or otherwise. Although animals are at a distinct disadvantage, as I see it, experementing on an animal is equivelent to experementing on a child, innocent, pure and naive to believe that all humans are able to show compassion toward all living creatures.
