Just received this email and thought I'd pass it on to those of you interested in going up to Oxford on 22nd July:

> SPEAK has received information from a source working in the dept of

> The information we are told was recited to a group of people by the

> We have been told that the researcher took great satisfaction in detailing

> audience that they had named the monkey 'George', and then went on to
> detail the types of injuries he had personally inflicted on this poor
> innocent creature. At one point George's eyes had extensive injuries
> caused to them, creating lesions for the purpose of the experiment. The
> account told by the vivisector is even more obscene when one takes into
> account that the vivisector then started to laugh as he went on with his
> story, telling the assembled group that after having blinded (we don't
> know if he was totally or partially blinded) George, part of the
> experiment then included taking George out into the university park.
> George wasn't able to see what we can see: if he could see at all it would
> only have been partial.
>
> George was almost certainly a wild caught macaque. Once he would have been
> roaming free in the tundra of Tanzania, or on the sugar plantations of
> Mauritius or in the jungles of Indonesia and China. He was taken from his
> homeland and forced to endure the most appalling cruelty. The next time he
> experienced fresh air, he was blind and tethered. His life ended at the
> hands of someone who can only be described as a monster; there are no
> other words to describe such a depraved individual.
>
> Vivisectors like to talk about how much they care about the animals they
> torture and eventually kill. Such pronouncements are just that, these
> people care about nothing but themselves.
>
> George died alone, blind, afraid and imprisoned in a barren cage; a cage
> hardly big enough for him to stand up in - a far cry from the life he
> experienced in his homeland: free, jumping from tree to tree, interacting
> with his own kind. Death was probably the only kind act George had ever
> received at the hands of his human tormentors.
>
> Vivisection is allowed to continue because the majority of the public are
> hidden from the truth. The vivisection industry suppresses it, the
> Government hide it, the media lie about it and the police protect the
> interests of the abusers. Now that is about to change!

> Join us in Oxford on the 22nd July. Its time to take control and let the

> lessen the torment, the fear and the suffering he experienced imprisoned
> inside Oxford University, but we can all join together on the 22nd July in
> the centre of Oxford and shout his name.

> To the vivisector that laughed as he detailed the torment he inflicted on
