Hi General Lighting ,
I agree with you totally , i believe animal experiments should only be done for medical research and only if it is needed . I saw both sides of the story when i took on a security job for a week for some extra cash . My flat mate she put me onto it .

What she forgot to say is what they did there and that there was 250 protesters outside the gate . So i did my week on the gate , at first getting lots of abuse from the protesters and being spat at and stones thrown at me .

At night though the ALF would do a silent protest at the gate , and i ended up chatting to one guy who was kind of incharge . We had some good chats and i could see his point and he could see some of mine . At the end of the week they didnt abuse me at all and just called me mate .

What made me angry though was the morning they evicted the protesters off the site they had camped on . The police turned up and stood back while balifs in full riot gear went in for the eviction . They were dragging people down the road by their hair , i saw kicks and punches as well . Made me wanna jump the fence and beat the shit out of the balifs .

There is no excuse for treating people like that , they were just protesting . And yes i shouldnt have been spat at and had rocks thrown at me either , but these people are passionate about what they believe and to them i was the enemy .

After the eviction the ALF started fire bombing peoples houses and cars . They even dug up the body of a woman and held the body to ransom to the family , all because their family business supplied animal food to the site .

They lost alot of support after that , sad how they became all the thing that they probably hated . Just shows you hatred can make people into evil nutters .
I was glad to be out of there after that week , not something i’d ever do again !!!!!

Hi general Lighting ,
Your right about that to as a Shogan on a K plate used to show up every thursday i think it was , a group of so called protesters would meet this man and brown envelopes were given to these man ( pay day i guess for rent-a-mob). Also some of the protesters were disgruntled ex-employees that had been given the sack . Like you say there are those out there that just wanna go for a fight .

However it was ALF members that carried out the things i mentioned before , they were well known . I guess maybe like you say they might have been influenced by some nutter .

As i said i saw both sides and it opened my eyes to such things , give me CND any day they were not violent 🙂 .

One woman was put in a safe and locked into it , then put down a shaft dug in the ground and cemented over ( this was ALF protester ) . I guess they knew the eviction was comming . It took three days to get her out , they had to pump oxygen down there to keep her alive . I admire her for the commitment she showed .

However a local radio station did manage to interview her , they must have done their home work on her . They asked her if she was asthmatic of which she said yes . They then asked her if she used an inhaler she said yes . To which they then asked her do you know inhalers were tested on animals first , what do you think about that ……she said no comment .

Also not all animal experiments are done just for human medic research etc . , some are done to cure diseases that kill animals to . I dont like it and doubt i’d be able to do experiments on animals but i can see it is needed . We all benefit from such things .

However the guy who i chatted to asked the manager of the site what experiments they did …..he said couldnt say . So he then asked well at least confirm no test for cosmetics are carried out here …….he wouldnt answer that either ….so whats that say to you ? .

Mad times , and an eye opener . I was happy that at least i got them to call me mate and that even at that time we were on different sides of the fences we could still get on . I drive past that place sometimes and its all quiet now , but i still wonder about the other people i worked with at that gate and those people that where on the other side of it .
