Balaclava-clad figures move about in sinister silence as they work towards their goal of completing Oxford University’s new ‘research’ facility. Their cynicism and arrogance illustrates their indifference to the fact that they are key participants in a project which, if completed, will see thousands of animals blinded, drugged, brain damaged, mutilated and ultimately killed, all in the name of a flawed and lucrative scientific practice that owes its existence to greed and academic arrogance. These are some of the men helping to build Oxford University’s state of the art animal torture centre.

These men are on triple wages for doing Oxford University’s dirty work which includes a hefty bonus at the end if work is ever completed. These ominous images illustrate the sinister nature of the vivisection industry and the lengths the animal abusers will go to in order that they can continue to abuse even greater numbers of sentient creatures.

As we enter another new year, remember these masked figures. Remember the animals that will die alone, incarcerated for years in a barren cage. No one will hear their screams of terror. No one will hear them cry in pain. No one will see them weep or see them huddled in the back of cage writhing in agony, clinging to a life that has treated them so harshly. Born or captured into a life of pain and misery, never feeling the wind, never seeing the sunlight, not even able to look up at an open sky, these innocent beings will have no witnesses to their suffering apart from those responsible for this unjust robbery of life. Everything we take for granted is denied to them because of the arrogance of those scientists torturing them.

Every truly compassionate person now has to ask themselves exactly what they intend to do in order to stop these monsters, and that is exactly what they are. To the animals, the people that are torturing them or those building a centre in which they will be destined to die horribly – they are monsters. Oxford University or the Government can couch such practices in flowery language if they like but it doesn’t hide the truth.

As we draw close to 2006 SPEAK can assure everyone that we will be fighting Oxford University, every inch of the way. Every brick laid will be contested. We intend to make the price to Oxford University a high one. We ask every truly compassionate person to help us in the forthcoming battle. Whatever you can do to help, please do. Now more than ever the animals need you. Don’t let them down.
