GEORGE WEEK OF ACTION: Monday 4th September - Saturday 9th September

Kidnapped... Imprisoned... Blinded... Killed by Oxford University

Most people are probably aware of the sad life of George and the
terrible
abuse he was forced to endure at the hands of Oxford University
vivisectors. George was almost certainly kidnapped from the wild. He
could
have come from a number of different countries; perhaps it was from the
tundra of Tanzania or it could have been the sugar plantations of
Mauritius or in the jungles of Indonesia and China. The truth is
however,
George never got to see that homeland again. Instead, he ended up
inside
the laboratories of Oxford University where he was to die after years
of
abuse by a university vivisector.

The information about George comes from the Oxford University professor
who was responsible for the abuse. Interestingly, the same professor
was
investigated by the police in 2004 for cruelty to a monkey he was
experimenting on. Of course no charges were brought against the man who
has worked at Oxford University for the past 30 years.

The vivisector concerned related the information about George to an
assembled group he was talking to. He told his audience that they had
named the monkey 'George', and then went on to detail the types of
injuries he had personally inflicted on this poor innocent creature. At
one point George's eyes had extensive injuries caused to them, creating
lesions for the purpose of the experiment. The account told by the
vivisector is even more obscene when one takes into account that the
vivisector then started to laugh as he went on with his story, telling
the
assembled group that after having blinded George, part of the
experiment
then included taking George out into the University Park.

The week of action will extend from Monday the 4th September through to
Saturday 9th September. No matter where you are in the country or even
the
world you can take part in this important week of action against the
animal abusers working inside Oxford University. The week of action
will
culminate in a mass leafleting session on Saturday 9th September in the
centre of Oxford in order to inform the Oxford public of the atrocities
taking place inside the university and to inform people as to exactly
how
their taxpayer’s money is being spent.

Over the next 2 weeks we will be posting information that will allow
you
to organise your own events in whatever area you might live, including
information for our International supporters. However, if you are able,
please also come to Oxford on Saturday 9th September in order to
leaflet,
so that the truth about the horrors inflicted on George and thousands
of
other animals like George can be told.

Remember, Oxford University and their friends in the Government don’t
want
the public to know the truth and they have tried to silence the anti
vivisection message. It’s vital that we get that message out to the
public. The truth is what the vivisectors fear, so let’s expose the
vivisectors of Oxford University and let’s not forgot the suffering of
George and millions like him.

Over the next few months SPEAK will be intensifying the campaign
against
Oxford University and its plans to build a new animal research
laboratory.
The coming months promise to be an exciting time for the campaign to
stop
the new lab. If Oxford University believed that just because they have
started work again on the lab, the campaign would stop, then they will
be
disappointed. At SPEAK we are determined to make the Oxford Lab
unworkable
in every conceivable way.

More information about the George Week of Action will be sent to you
shortly as well as details about future events planned by SPEAK.
