Saturday saw a large march by Pro-Test to support animal lab testing. Wearing mainly blue and white, they held signs like "Vegetarians against ALF" and chanted "Animal testing saves lives, build the Oxford animal lab!" as they walk around the Oxford Science area and parts of the city centre. They were well behaved and quite orderly as far as I could see. No angry phrases, no verbal attacks...
One street away, the anti-vivisection activist was doing their weekly march. But the two groups did not clash. Of course, the police made sure of that.
I am quite happy that finally people are voicing out their support for animal use in Science, despite the intimidation from animal rights activists. Maybe I'll join in next time.
But right now, work is pilling up like mountains. bleh!
