Oxford University's records show that in 2003, the Vodafone Group Foundation gave £184,494.14 to the university. At SPEAK we are keen to acknowledge the good work of the Vodafone Foundation, but feel its equally important to point out a fundamental flaw in their strategy. How can a charity give money to worthwhile causes around the world, whilst at the same time giving a substantial amount to an institution that is involved in the abuse and destruction of thousands of innocent non human animals, and an institution that employs as part of its workforce an individual who has been investigated by the police for horrific cruelty to a monkey? The Foundation's essential role in funding various projects around the world is negated by their financial relationship with Oxford University. On the one hand, Vodafone finances projects to save the Panda, while on the other, they give money to Oxford University, who use wild-caught macaques in barbaric practices inside their vivisection laboratories - macaques such as the 'Oxford Two', who were imprisoned and abused for 15 years at Oxford University! The irony in Vodafone's position cannot be missed, and one wonders how they can justify it. To find the nearest vodafone store, click here Leaflets and posters can be ordered by contacting us.

Vodafone help to finance Oxford University where every year, thousands of animals die at the hands of academics who portray themselves as being at the cutting edge of scientific advancement. And cutting edge it is indeed! For it is in these vivisection laboratories that animals are being sacrificed to an archaic practice, a practice that is tied hand in glove with an industry that is responsible for allowing drugs onto the market which are responsible for the death of millions of people worldwide from adverse drug reactions - the fourth largest killer in the western world. Ask them whether this is what Vodafone represents or what they want their company to be known for, and if so, what about the responsibility they have to their customers and the thousands who will be appalled at the connections they have formed with such an establishment. Stop the Oxford lab. Please follow the links below to inform these key individuals as to exactly what is going on behind the dark and secretive world of the animal research laboratories.
