Sunday 17th - Brinsley Animal Rescue Workday

Brinsley Animal Rescue is a not for profit sanctuary dedicated to
caring for animals. Our primary mission is to relieve the suffering of
animals and birds. Many of the animals that come to us are simply
’surplus to requirements’ from the meat, dairy and egg industry.
Because such animals are deemed unprofitable then it is our aim to
take them on and find them loving homes in which they can enjoy the
retirement they deserve.

Nottm AR has regular work days here - fence building, staining, aviary
building, mucking out, rabbit run building and the usual shit!
Transport from Sumac at 1pm.

B&K Universal - Blood on their Hands Rally
Saturday 30th January 2010

Bantin and Kingman Universal are one of the few remaining firms in the
UK who are commercial breeders of animals for experimentation. Based
in the coastal village of Grimston, East Yorkshire, B&K breed beagle
dogs and rodents, but can obtain primates for customers. Activists
from the north will descend upon B&K Universal in Grimston and rally
against the blood and MURDER they cause as suppliers of HLS & Sequani
labs and the M.O.D.
Transport from Nottingham with Veggies.

-----------------

Advance Notice:

Friday 12th to Sunday 14th March
National Animal Rights Spring Gathering

We are hosting this in Nottingham and are likely to be needing more
offers of beds or floorspace to accommodate the 100+ people expected.
If you can help, please get in touch. Also does anyone know where
chairs might be borrowed or hired?

-----------------

At some time we may again protest against the use of animals in cruel
and unscientific experiments at Nottingham University's Medical
School.

Is anyone able to provide more recent information, following this from
Animal Aid's 2006 Mad Science Award

University of Nottingham where rats' screams of pain were recorded

In a collaborative behaviour study with the University of Ireland,
male rats were injected with formalin - a toxic chemical that causes
considerable and lasting pain. They were then put inside a perspex
chamber that administered repeated electric shocks to their feet. A
microphone was placed above the chamber to record the rats' cries of
pain, communicated in ultrasound.
