Barry Horne Tribute Website
This site is dedicated to the memory of Barry Horne, an animal liberation activist who died in a UK prison hospital on November 5 2001. He had been sentenced to 18 years in prison for various criminal damage and arson attacks mainly against companies involved in vivisection. In prison he went on hunger strike several times in protest against government support for the vivisection industry, and their broken pre-election promises about animal experiments. The third of these hunger strikes lasted 68 days, and Barry never fully recovered. His actions generated worldwide publicity, and initiated a huge upsurge in animal liberation activity, the effects of which are still being felt even today.
Sean Kirtley was imprisoned by the state after an 18 week trial which was at the time the longest running animal rights trial in history. He tirelessly campaigned against animal abuse and was always protesting against fur, foie gras and most notably Sequani labs in Ledbury.
Gari Allen sadly passed away in 2006 after a short illness. He had been very active in the animal rights movement for over 25 years, involved at all levels, from street stalls to hunt sabotage, from protests to sanctuary work, and including a long career as a leading ALF activist.
This website is dedicated to the memory of Jill Phipps, a committed animal rights activist who was tragically killed whilst protesting against live exports in 1995, and is intended to keep her memory alive and to promote the annual rememberance ceremony and actions.
Keith Mann is a well known British animal rights activist and has made many sacrifices for animal liberation, gaining him wide respect within the movement. Now author of 'From Dusk till Dawn' An Insider's View of the Growth of the Animal Liberation Movement.
It was when the deadly live export trade came to Coventry and Jill Phipps was killed under the wheels of a lorry carrying young calves that Keivan became involved in the world of Animal Rights and Animal Liberation. He went on to be involved in many campaigns including: live exports, anti-circus demos, hunt sabotage, Consort Beagles Campaign, Close Hillgrove Cat Farm campaign, Stop Huntingdon Life Sciences and Close Shamrock Monkey farm campaigns.
Tribute to a committed animal rights activist. Each day was a battle to overcome his, sometimes very painful, illness to get on with his tireless campaigning for animal rights. For the past 16 years he has been one of the most active animal rights campaigners the movement has ever seen. His energy and dedication has been an inspiration to many. Through RealFood and Vegan Buddies there are hundreds, maybe thousands more vegans in the world. With ARC (Animal Rights Coalition) and ARCNews he has been a major influence in the coordination and organisation of the movement. He was one of the founders and inspirations behind the successful SNGP campaign.
Runs the Animal Liberation Press Office in the UK which was set up in 1991 to provide information to the media about direct action undertaken by animal rights activists and groups.
Animal rights activist and founder of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). He was originally a member of the Hunt Saboteurs Association in the 1970s before forming an offshoot called the 'Band of Mercy'. He also founded Arkangel, the animal liberation magazine.
Those who campaign against HLS are often portrayed as misguided and/or terrorists. Nothing could be further from the truth. SHAC is made up of compassionate people from all walks of life and people of all ages from children to pensioners. All of us are outraged at the existence of HLS and all of us are doing as much as we can to make sure that this evil company is closed down for good.
Dan Amos is a committed vegan activist who was arrested and bailed after 32 separate police raids, involving 700 police officers in the UK, The Netherlands and Belgium on May 1st 2007. Dan was charged with "conspiracy to blackmail" Huntingdon Life Sciences and remanded on Wednesday 30th July 2008 at Winchester Crown Court after pleading guilty due to circumstantial evidence and the possibility of a trial lasting up to six months. He will not be sentenced until the end of the trial
Don is serving an indeterminate sentence of 12 years, with a minimum of 6 years, which means he is imprisoned for an unlimited time (interned). His actions were claimed in the name of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) as acts of compassion against collaborators with notorious animal torturers Huntingdon Life Sciences.
Gregg & Natasha Avery and Heather Nicholson were arrested and remanded into custody after 32 separate police raids, involving 700 police officers in the UK, The Netherlands and Belgium on May 1st 2007. They have been charged with "conspiracy to blackmail" Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) along with a further nine defendants. Their trial is due to start around June 2008. HLS has been exposed on 6 separate occasions abusing and torturing animals simply for profit.
Mark Taylor, Suzanne Taylor and Teresa Portwine were all sentenced under the new Serious Organised Crime Police Act (SOCAP). They never attacked anyone, they didn't cause £1 of damage, they didn't break into any premises yet they received prison sentences, one as long as four years! Show your support.
Mel Broughton was remanded on 14 Dec 2007 at Banbury Magistrates' Court in connection with alleged offences relating to the SPEAK campaign.
Sarah Whitehead is a committed vegan activist who has dedicated her life to saving animals and helping people. She was sentenced to 16 months in prison for rescuing an abused beagle. The dog was made to wear an electric shock collar and the neighbours informed Sarah that they had witnessed beatings from its owners and had also heard the dog screaming on many occasions. Sarah was already on a suspended sentence for rescuing animals from a notorious puppy farmer in West Sussex (see www.sarconline.co.uk/porter) which meant that if she re-offended within two years she would be sent to prison for that "crime". Even knowing this risk to her freedom, Sarah put the dog's life and well-being first and lifted him to freedom.
