Hi.

Was also about to put in a feature proposal for the World Day for
Animals in Laboratories march that took place in London yesterday. This
is the most important march on the animal rights calendar and there was
an attendance of several thousand activists. There will also be some
analysis of the police behaviour on the march as there seemed to be a
very distinct change of tactics on their part.

I've got about 500(!) photo's of the day to sift through and am planning
to write about 2500 words to get it fully covered. As such, and due to
the fact that I'm working tonight, it won't be ready until early/mid
week so I would support this feature going up until it's ready or until
it's had enough time for exposure. Also, I'd like to invite anyone who
was there to add their input and I will be working on it in Crabgrass to
facilitate this.

Solidarity

In an anonymous communique, Agenda 21 reported they flooded the engine room; “to delay the killing season and to protest the continued illegal export of whale meat to Japan.”

The same group sunk ‘The Willassen Senior’ in August 2007 exceeding £2 million pounds in damage, successfully ending the whaling vessel’s career within two months.
