AR-News: (UK) Blair Warns Animal Rights Activists on Law Breaking

[animalconcerns at fastmail.us]

Tougher sanctions could be introduced to combat animal rights activists
who break the law, the Prime Minister signalled today.

But he upbraided Tories for seeking to exploit newspaper allegations
that Home Secretary David Blunkett once served as a supporter of a
leading anti-vivisection charity.

Mr Blunkett has been widely accused as Home Secretary of failing to take
stringent action against violent animal rights activists.

The reports were cited at question time by Tory Jonathan Djanogly in
whose Huntingdonshire constituency Huntingdon Life Sciences, Europe’s
largest contract testing laboratory, is based.
