* First Member of SHAC 7 Heads to Jail for Three Year Sentence *

 

We look at one of the country's most controversial cases involving the

prosecution of activists for animal rights. Earlier this year, six people

were convicted for their role in a campaign to stop animal testing by the

British scientific firm Huntingdon Life Sciences. The activists are with a

group called Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, or SHAC. We speak with Andrew

Stepanian, one of the convicted members of the SHAC 7 on the day he heads to

prison for a three-year sentence.

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances,

there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in

such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest

we become unwitting victims of the darkness.

William O. Douglas
