30 European Animal Rights Activists in Raids

In Europe. police have arrested 30 animal rights activists in a series of

coordinated raids in Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands. 700 police officers

and staff took part in what is believed to the largest crackdown ever on animal

rights activists in Europe. No charges have been brought against the 15 men and

15 women arrested. One police official accused the activists of waging a

campaign of harassment and intimidation against the animal research industry.

For years, animal rights activists have waged a successful campaign targeting

the British company Huntingdon Life Sciences because it carries out medical

tests on animals.

 

 

 

There is power in a factory, power in the land

Power in the hands of a worker

But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand

There is power in a Union

Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood

The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for

From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud

War has always been the bosses' way, sir
