SPEAK demo and fundraiser Sat 8th Dec

Will defo be there!!

Though I have nothing but admiration for the unflagging dedication those opposing this lab have, it saddens me no end to know that all the energy spent on this Oxford campaign has been wasted.

The lab is nearing completion, and there is little anyone can do to stop it. It seems that most of the SPEAK posts over the past few months have had little to report other than bleatings about the injustice of it all, the unfair policing, the horrible masked builders, etc etc etc.

If anything good can come from this it is one thing only: that yet AGAIN it has proven that vivisection can NEVER be stopped until all those campaigning to end it rise above their often inflated egos (ie stop thinking about how great it feels going on demos, and basking in the golden glow of martyrdom.)

As has been the case for over one century, it has been shown once more that vivisection will ONLY end when enough people demand it to end, and that will ONLY happen when enough people - who currently tolerate vivisection as a 'necessary evil' - are educated as to its scientific and medical fraudulence, and how vivisection is slowly but surely destroying human and planetary health through a deluge of' toxins which depend upon vivisection's survival in order to provide them with false assurances of safety.

The medical and scientific arguments are not simply things to tack on the end of the tired and worthless 'animal rights' argument - it must be the only argument. In fact animal rights people have I would suggest often been responsible for a loathing of the genuine anti-vivisection movement on the part of many people due to their ludicrous antics and the perceived threat to 'vital medical research' such people are responsible for.

Though the animal rights argument is doomed to failure every time when it come to anti-vivisection, and the big national societies have become corrupt and/or useless, there is an alternative: the Hans Ruesch Foundation. Please visit www.vivisectionfraud.com for further info.

I have upmost respect for this movement, however i feel that this constant lobbying of the government isn't the most useful tactic we have. I know that people will argue that the movement isn't lobbying but whatever the tactics it is, there is this constant effort to get this banned. Perhaps (and i belive the "climate change" movement could be better doing the same) people could be concentrating their efforts on conecting with all people of our countries and finding our common ground towards throwing out and destroying the governmental system which is allowing this to carry on, rather then justifying there existance by asking for their "help" in stoping what is wrong. It is foolish to think they will go beyond personal interest and really make any changes and even if they do the things we get them to ban will only appear in other countries, which our all powerfull leaders wont be able to change...
