AR-News: (UK) Scientists demand law against animal rights extremism

[Animalconcerns]

[from New Scientist]

People linked to animal experimentation who have suffered attacks and
intimidation from animal rights extremists have banded together to lobby
the UK government for changes in the law.

The Victims of Animal Rights Extremism (VARE) group was launched at the
British Parliament on Thursday. The 100-strong body of people who have
suffered violence and harassment wants the government to crack down on the
problem of extremism.

Since February 2003, extremists decided to target Japanese companies
contracting work to Huntingdon Life Sciences. One man described how his
company had received animal body parts and bomb hoaxes. One of their
directors was physically attacked on his way to work and was left "very
shocked and very depressed"
