Congratulations to the groups that campaigned against the Sciencelink project, the Escada campaign and to ALF-Cascadia for their recent mink liberation.http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397171.html Sciencelink animal lab has been abandoned21.04.2008 16:24 "This battle has been won by the Animal Rights Activists" - Lei Heldens, Councillor of Venray, Netherlands Cancelled by CAV (Coalition Anti-Vivisection) The Coalition Anti-Vivisection is proud to announce that the massive Sciencelink animal testing laboratory project in Holland has been stopped for good thanks to a vociferous campaign! Sciencelink was due to cost €60 Million, ($90 Million/£50 Million), and was to have a purpose built breeding facility on the site to supply the animals, owned by Harlan (international animal breeders). A company who supply to HLS, other labs and univsersities in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. To put Sciencelink into perspective the new primate lab at Oxford University cost around £20 Million, (€26 Million/$40 Million), to build. Not only has the project been abandoned but a senior director of Harlan resigned as a result. This is not only a great victory for the animals, it also represents a bitter blow to the animal testing industry as a whole!

Breeding records containing genetic history were also permanently destroyed. It will be a hard road ahead for these mink and their offspring, but with our help they now have a chance at survival. These animals are not capitalist commodities to be bought and sold for fashion or vanity, but unique individuals deserving of liberation from human exploitation. Even if some of the mink do not make it we feel it is better to die free, then at the hands of their speciesist captors. To the Posches, owners of Jefferson Fur Farm: Consider this your first warning. Tear down this death camp and let the mink live free. If you don't we will be back to finish the job. To others concerned with the well-being of fellow living beings. First and foremost, go vegan. If you've been vegan for a while, it's time to start looking up animal abusers in your area and doing the research for how to effectively cripple them. Work in small affinity groups, be cautious always-- macho never, and never give information if captured. It's time for animal rights to move beyond consumer sub-culture, towards an active liberation movement, which threatens the capitalist commoditization of life and the speciesist ideology itself. We want to make it very clear that we will not be intimidated by the states continued witch hunt against the earth and animal liberation movements. Draconian prison sentences and repressive legislation will not deter us from our goal of total earth, animal, and human liberation. For every liberator you throw in prison, there will two more to take her place. For every activist's house you raid, there will ten times that many cages emptied. You can take our freedom, but you will never extinguish the flame that burns in our heart. Let your passion mirror the animals oppression and our persecution. ALF-Cascadia ____________Escada Campaign Report posted by European activists:APAX is NOT buying ESCADA!"As you might know, the finance-investor APAX was considering to buy ESCADA or at least the majority in shares. By now APAX dropped Escada definitely. Escada is of no more interest for APAX. So it seems our mailss and letters to apax have helped them to decide against Escada hopefully ;-) There is a lot to come and the campaign needs you all to help out! By doing demos, by taking part in e-actions, by mobilising people to get active for animal liberation! ESCADA is shaking and during their anual shareholders conference there have been a lot of protests inside the conference (speaches of anti-fur-sharegolders, interuption by banners and leaflets in the room) and ourside the hotelbuilding (demo against escada) as well as an telephon-action day against the hotel where the meeting took place in. More infos are coing soo about this! lets shake em till they brake!" ________ Bear kills animal trainer in Big Bear Cityhttp://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local & id=6097429______________Update on Cabbie:Cabbie is recovering from her major surgery and doing very well.
