This story has been in the news alot over here recently and I can't help thinking that these people just don't get it.
I believe in Animal Rights and not doing unnecessary experiments on animals, but I must be weird cause I also believe in Human rights... something the people who dug up and stole the body of Gladys Hammond obviously don't.
Quote:

The grave of an 82-year-old woman whose family has been the target of animal rights protesters has been desecrated.
The damage to Gladys Hammond's burial plot was discovered on Thursday at St Peter's Church, Yoxall, Staffordshire. Her remains had been dug up.

Last week further letters were sent by a group calling themselves The Animal Rights Militia. Again, we recognise the significance of these letters in which the authors repeat their claim to have Mrs Hammond’s body.

Guinea pigs are bred for research there but the family firm, David Hall and Partners, said it would shut down its operations at the end of the year and return to traditional farming.

The people who do this stuff are little more than terroists imho, they are little better (if at all) than an Islamic fundamentalist who plants a bomb to force their view and morality on others.
In fact I'd say they don't really care about animal rights, its just a good excuse for them to indulge their sick little fantasies...

Although I understand the decision to close the farm, I wish they hadn't, it just proves to these sociopaths that they can get what they want using violence and terroism.

Q: What do you have when you are holding two little green balls in your hand.
A: Kermit's undivided attention.

I quite agree citizen

If we start caving in to the demands of any group that uses violence as a means to it's ends then many more groups will spring up because they see that it is a tactic that works.

I too am in favour of animal rights, but i suspect these are the type of people that appear on all the marches for everything and just use it as an excuse to hit people and throw things, some people really need to get out more, either that or much much less, so much less in fact that they are confined to a very small space with bars...

We may experience some slight turbulence and then explode...
