Any memories you want to share? One thing that's stuck my mind is that feeling of being surrounded by police who are doing an impression of a barbed wire fence! Oh coppers we are peaceful protestors (unlike the pro-hunt bunch!)

It does annoy me, although I don't advocate the violence used when animal rights activists get several years in prison for slashing a few tyres, when you can get someone who has committed a far worse crime and get a lesser sentence. Its sad that it has come to the point where people have to do such actions to be heard, although I think hats should be taken off to organisations like this who have managed to close down labs and factory farms for actions like this.
Yet there was a case recently where an elderly lady at a peaceful "stop the oxford lab march" got acid thrown on her from a great height by one of the builders. I noticed the police weren't too keen to find the culprit of that one.

Most annoying indeed... I don't agree with the methods used by some AR groups altho as you say, we do thank the help in closing some place down... As Moby says, it's better to inform calmly rather than show violence, as it gives a bad image to the veg* people & its message of peace...
Horrible for that woman who probably will have health issues as a result & no one does anything.... shows the compassion... or rather, its lack, in this wolrd... & how double standars are applied in this fashion...
