To
kick of our new campaign against QinetiQ's cruel and unscientific hyperbaric
tests using goats, SARC held a protest outside of their Alverstoke lab.
8 protestors held a loud, visual demosntration, with banners, placards,
airhorns, megaphones, a drum, whistles... etc!
Loads of motorists honked in support, and QinetiQ security looked aptly
embarrased.
If you would like to help with this campaign, watch this space! We will
soon be launching a website and leaflets, as well as holding regular
demonstrations outside of the Fort Road site. Let us know if you would
like to come along on the next protest!
It seems as though security is being tightened at the site, obviously
they are embarrased by what they do, and it's now time to put the pressure
on. We can and we will stop these experiments. The French Navy use non-animal
methods, and despite claiming to have helped during the Kursk submarine
accident, all crew members died. They can not point to one instance
where their tests have helped anybody.
The highlight of the day was seeing the security guards face when he
saw our placards bearing pictures of the 9 baby goats liberated from
the site last month!
