Degree Day Demonstrations in March 2013

We will be holding two Degree Day Ceremony demonstrations in March outside the Sheldonian on the corner of Broad Street and Catte Street beginning at 12 noon.  We are usually well supported by members of the public in the heart of Oxford, so this is a good opportunity to let the university know exactly what we think of their policies of vivisection and animal abuse. It will also be a time to publicise the World Day for Laboratory Animals March which will take place in Oxford on April 27th. If you can spare an hour or two to come and join us on March 2nd or March 9th we would be pleased to see you.

July Degree Ceremony Demonstrations

The tourist season is in full swing in Oxford now, resulting in huge amounts of leaflets being taken and read by large amounts of visitors from all countries of the world. Though speaking many different languages, they all share the horror felt when they learn from SPEAK about the vivisection that takes place inside Oxford University and the huge numbers of animals involved.

Open Days

27 & 28 June 2012

Over 14,000 perspective Oxford students came to visit the University over its two open days. SPEAK supporters were there on both days, with a number of  different demos taking place at some points, in order to inform the six form students about the animal suffering which occurs . Though strangely, the university’s maps that were given to the visitors were missing details of the laboratory...

HONOUR AND DISHONOUR

Encaenia demonstration - 20 June 2012

Oxford University always bestows an honorary degree to a vivisector at its Encaenia Ceremony and this year was no different. However, also receiving an award this year was the highly respected Burmese pro-democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi, who brought out crowds of hundreds of people eager to see her, and who also got to hear about the atrocities being carried out on animals at the University.
