National Anti-Vivisection Alliance Launched

NAVA | 26.05.2010 14:58 | Animal Liberation | Bio-technology | Cambridge | Oxford

The National Anti-Vivisection Alliance (NAVA) has been formed as a united grassroots coalition of groups fighting to end animal experimentation in the UK. NAVA is made up of groups who campaign against a broad range of animal experimentation, including university and academic facilities, contract research organisations, commercial organisations and cosmetics testing.

The National Anti-Vivisection Alliance (NAVA) has been formed as a united grassroots coalition of groups fighting to end animal experimentation in the UK. NAVA is made up of groups who campaign against a broad range of animal experimentation, including university and academic facilities, contract research organisations, commercial organisations and cosmetics testing.

We take the stand against vivisection on the basis of both an animal rights and scientific perspective; keeping a sentient creature inside a laboratory for experimentation is ethically wrong and the results cannot be transcribed in a scientific manner which can be relied upon for any other species.

Protests, publicity stunts and education are regularly held across the country in order to highlight the archaic cruelty happening inside UK laboratories and the thousands of animals dying every single day for 'research'. We also head the campaign to stop the construction of a new animal testing lab at the University of Leicester, which can be seen here.

If you would like to get involved in helping to end animal experiments in the UK, get in touch and we will be more than greatful to help by putting you in contact with your local group or sending you further information; there is a part for literally everybody to play.

On our website, we have also published the first comprehensive A-Z of organisations involved in vivisection, county-by-county, and complete with contact details for each.

looks like luke steele's activist empire is getting bigger. He seems to be running half the countrys animal rights groups already.

Well done

to anyone involved with this. To the last poster, grow up and if you are so pissed off about other activists commitment, energy and initiative then my advice is that YOU do better instead of whining, that is if you are another activist, maybe you are, maybe you aint.

SHAC names

27.05.2010 08:13

SHAC needs all the names it can get at the moment.

Now that people are becoming aware of the true extent of how the SHAC donations were used a need to create new groups on paper to keep the money flowing is vital.

This group is just the latest in a number of quickly hashed up organisations whose sole purpose is to generate income and allow some individuals to maintain their lifestyles.

I'll give Lynn Sawyer the benefit of the doubt and assume she thinks these really are new groups springing up out of nothing but the fact they all share near identical contact, bank, phone and leaders should tell you something.

SHAC has become about money for a select few and the wider AR world now recognises that.


..... at this point it is traditional for somebody to post a reply claiming I am Steve Discombe, NECTU, SHACWATCH, Troll etc etc. If they do that ask why they do not want to deal with the issues raised.

What do you mean?

27.05.2010 13:04

"Fools nobody"? I've had a quick peek looks accurate to me. If you mean you think this is all some dark SHAC plot well I doubt it. Whatever anyone does there is always someone else sniping and whinging about it, I wonder why? Is it jealousy or simply that a troll/cop/vivisector has been unleashed? Criticism is fine but come on be constructive WHY is this initiative a bad thing? It is not enough to say "ohh someone I don't like might be behind it". You don't have to like people to acknowledge good activism.

Nice one

Might be just what we need to get back to AR as normal – AR is a bit fluffy at the moment!

Is just as bad as shacwatch at controlling what they want and not want posted.

It's been flushed down the toilet.
