Nottingham Indymedia: 'animal-rights'

Harlan Day Of Action

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 16:44:46 +0000

As part of the run up to World Day for Animals In Laboratories (http://www.wdail.org/), activists from the local area converged for a day of action against Harlan Laboratories. Harlan breed beagles for the vivisection industry, including the notorious Huntingdon Life Sciences. They also offer their clients the option of purchasing ‘surgically-modified’ animals. This means that some beagles undergo surgery on Harlan premises so they are experiment-ready before being transported to a client’s laboratory.

Harlan operate from a farm just outside of Loughborough near Belton where in the secrecy of the countryside, behind razor wire fences and concentration camp style security systems, they breed and butcher their dogs.

Hubbard's Hell for Animals: RSPCA Refuses to Act

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:45:02 +0000

After repeated calls for the RSPCA to act decisively against this appalling case of animal abuse and neglect, Nottingham Animal Rights, among others, is seeking to raise public awareness of the plight of Mr. Hubbard’s victims. Mr. Hubbard is a Guinea Pig and Rabbit Breeder based at The Willows, Doddington Lane, off Main Street, Dry Doddington, Newark, NG23 5HU. Reports and photographs provided by those who have visited the property (see: http://nottinghamshire.indymedia.org.uk/2010/04/448580.html for links) have stated that the animals are living in terrible conditions and are in very poor health.

Nottingham Animal Rights has released this press release to the local media, and will be holding an information stall on Saturday 10th July opposite St. Peter's Church in Nottingham, near the Broadmarsh Centre, from 13:00 onwards. An additional date in Newark is to be confirmed.
