Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Remembering George - where will you be on the 22nd July? Meet: Carfax Tower, Oxford City centre, 12 noon, 22nd July George lived a miserable life. Kidnapped from his homeland he suffered horrors that few people could ever imagine. The Oxford University professor who tortured him saw him as nothing more than tool. The professor had previously been investigated by the police for cruelty to a monkey he was experimenting on - he refused to have the monkey put down and put out of its misery because to him this non human animal, capable of feeling pain, fear and yes, joy and happiness, was nothing more than an 'asset'. The monkey was just an inanimate object; a vivisector’s tool. Of course the police investigation came to nothing. Can you imagine the ramifications of a vivisector going on trial? It’s simply not going to happen. SPEAK asked to see the report of the investigation but it was denied. Of course it was denied: they can’t afford the truth to be told. Vivisection is allowed to continue because of the lies. The plain truth is nobody cares about the non human animals like George, who are merely pawns in a much bigger game of power and greed. George is dead now; his life was so cruelly cut short. Taken from an environment where he was free, he was transported into hell: he lived in hell and he died there. We can’t bring George back, nor any of the other poor non human animals that have died such violent deaths at the hands of the vivisectors. We are told that the people that inflict such violence on sentient creatures are going about their lawful business. At SPEAK we don’t care if what they do is sanctioned by the state. We don’t care if the Prime Minister gives vivisection his personal seal of approval. If caring means we are fanatics or extremists, then so be it. We hold our heads up high - proud to be labelled as such by people who care not a jot for anything or anyone but themselves, their careers and their egos. Let’s not forget George, let’s not forget the millions of animals that have died at the hands of the faceless bullies and let’s not forget the thousands of human victims of the pharmaceutical giants. Thousands of animals have died inside Oxford University but so too have thousands of humans been their victims. Let’s not forget the 2000 people killed in the Vioxx trials conducted by Oxford University researchers. Are we extremists? Of course we are: we want a more compassionate society where greed doesn’t rule. You can’t get more extreme than that. So come the 22nd, where will you be? Will you be in Oxford remembering George; remembering his misery, his pain, his life, and his violent death, or will you be elsewhere? We owe it to George to be in Oxford on the 22nd July and we owe it to the millions of other animals that are dying and will die in research laboratories. Just as importantly, we owe it to the thousands of animals that will be kidnapped, imprisoned, maimed and tortured and finally killed inside the new laboratory at Oxford University should it ever be built. We all have the power to stop the new lab build. What are you going to do to help stop it?
