Protestors stop work at Shipley open-cast
27-10-2008 19:45
two hours – they ran onto the site and clambered on diggers & dumpers and held out
banners stopping the work safely. Some of the digger drivers were very friendly and
were glad to have a break as they work very long shifts, from 7am-6:30 with only
lunch & half hour breaks at 10 & 3. Today work had not been able to start till 10
as nature was fighting it's own corner, with rain drowning the site, and it was stopped again at 1 for 3 hours due to the protest.

Examining Mauritius' Monkey Exports....Can They Be Stopped?
25-10-2008 15:19
Mauritius is the 4th largest exporter of monkeys for "scientific" research, and the largest exporter of "wild-caught" monkeys (ie monkeys taken directly from nature and shipped to unimaginable horrors in laboratories). The use of wild-caught monkeys is considered so unconscionable that even the pro-vivisection British government has outlawed the practice, however regressive nations such as France, the USA and Japan still use them."You can't do this... he's a government minister"

We are increasingly concerned about environmental and economic arguments being used to push through right-wing anti-immigration policies.This is why we threw a pie at Phil Woolas, Minister for Borders and
Immigration yesterday (see here for picture and video

24-10-2008 14:35
The latest news the G2H team has recieved from Nepal is not only will the monkeys not be released from the breeding centres [because they are "private property"] but that the Nepalese government is even considering restarting the exports....despite a previous public statement that Nepal no longer has a policy of exporting monkeys for the vivisection industry!Climate, coal, mountain top removal and "obstruction of justice"
