International Animal Rights Day

Site Demo Report - Thursday 10 December 2009

This was the eleventh year that demos have been held all over the country and all over the world to commemorate International Animal Rights day, calling for fundamental rights to be bestowed upon non-human animals by 2048 - 100 years after the Declaration of Human Rights on this date.

SPEAK supporters gathered opposite Oxford University’s new animal torture lab to demand an end to the barbaric experiments that this institution insists on carrying out on thousands of individuals every year. Over 16,000 animals can be held inside the lab at any one time, none of them have any more rights in law than any piece of furniture, despite the fact that it is well known that animals suffer both physically and psychologically. No animal will leave this lab alive, they are all destined to be used and killed by those who make their living mutilating and tormenting those unlucky enough to end up here.

Experimenting on living, breathing and feeling animals is inexcusable and should not be tolerated in a decent society. That is why SPEAK will continue to campaign against all animal experiments carried out by Oxford University until they no longer mutilate any non consenting individual.

Until all are free.
