Animal Wrongs
Today, the Daily Telegraph reports that at a fly-fishery near Lancaster, "A gang on masked animal rights activists attacked a group of anglers", spreading their web of intimidation now into purely recreational territories.
Has this done their cause any good? Are animal testing facilities going to close their doors and set free all the creatures within, because of this group of thugs masquerading as crusaders for a cause. I wonder if they're proud of themselves, knowing that they successfully set upon and threatened a body of fishermen and women including several families. Would they have spared the toddlers with their nets, splashing around near the waters edge? By the sound of things, this group, which found it morally justifiable to chase a young woman (a nurse, no less) with wooden bats shouting "Get her!" while punching another woman in the face, have no grasp whatsoever of what would help their cause.
These pathetic wannabe guerrillas paraded around shouting things like "It's the easy way of the hard way....You've been sabbed!", which sounds more like a cartoon battle cry than the rallying call of genuine dissidents; but the fact that such a rag-tag, frankly pathetic group of people could become violent towards women simply for fishing, says something about the desperation the animal rights cause evidently now must feel.
The real animal rights lobbyists, and it must be acknowledged that there is a genuine lobby to be listened to, somewhere within the melee of masquerading idiots, tirelessly petitioning Parliament for the improvement of animal welfare standards must be ashamed to see their beloved cause taken on by such snivelling, cowardly amateurs.
In a year where animal rights protestors in the city of Oxford have largely been laughed off the streets and treated with widespread derision due to their objections to the new building of an animal testing laboratory, you would hope that the Animal Rights lobby might keep their profile low for embarrassment; all they seem to have achieved is assaulting a young woman angler (who presumably would have been throwing back whatever fish were caught anyway) and necessitating the builders on the Oxford project to wear balaclavas to prevent their being identified and targeted.
This is a group of, though I hesitate to use the word again, "wannabes". They dress as though they're an offshoot of a Paramilitary organisation, wielding bats, presumably attacking families of anglers because it's much easier than the early mornings favoured by the activists of old when attacking testing centres and laboratories. One would hope that some of them would think of examples close to them, where relatives or loved ones have been saved by medication tested safely on animals- but, judging by their apparent braindead recklessness, that might be a forlorn hope.
