First of SHAC 7 heading to jail interviewed on Democracy Now 10/3/06

 

Today, Andrew Stepanian, an animal rights activist, began serving his

three year sentence -- the first of the SHAC 7 to go to jail having

been convicted of violating the Animal Enterprise Protection Act .

Before he turned himself in he was interviewed by Amy Goodman of

Democracy Now. You can watch that interview on line at:

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/03/142235

 

You can also read the transcript at that site, which is useful, though

the interview sounds better than it reads, plus Democracy Now aired

undercover footage from the Huntingdon Life Sciences laboratory.

 

Please send Amy Goodman and 'Democracy Now' a huge thank you for the in

depth coverage of the case. Positive audience response lets Goodman

know that these issues matter to her listeners and viewers; it will

encourage similar coverage in the future.
