| Animal Rights Ghouls Gloat over Latest Terrorist Success | ||
| 2005-08-24 | ||
| Note how the terrorist-ghouls' public shills have no problem with this barbarism and are openly gloating. A family that breeds guinea pigs for medical research announced yesterday that it was to close its farm in a final attempt to get back the remains of a relative whose body was dug up by animal rights extremists. David, John and Chris Hall said that Darley Oaks farm in Newchurch, Staffs, would close by the end of the year. Their family, friends and business associates have been subjected to a six-year campaign of terror and intimidation that culminated last October in activists digging up and stealing the remains of Chris Hall's 82-year-old mother-in-law, Gladys Hammond, from St Peter's churchyard in Yoxall, Staffs. Animal rights supporters celebrated the announcement but it was condemned by scientists as a triumph for mob rule that would hurt patients and damage an industry that employs 22,000 people and is worth £3.6 billion a year to the British economy. It is also certain to lead to questions as to whether the Government is doing enough. Six months ago, Patricia Hewitt, the Trade and Industry Secretary, vowed to jail those guilty of "economic damage" to companies and their associates. I have an alternative to closing the farm: PM Blair should announce that the authorities will exterminate every guinea pig in the UK if the old lady's body is not returned within 24 hours and the perpetrators arrested. Government officials, worried about the message that the farm closure would send out, are understood to have tried to persuade the Halls to stay open. Timothy Cruttenden Smith, the family's lawyer, said it was "a very, very bad day for democracy". He said: "It is an undemocratic day when a campaign of terrorism stops a hard-working, law-abiding family from undertaking an activity that is crucial to research and upon which the lives of many elderly people depend. "A little piece of freedom died today. I don't suppose there is a single day where they don't think about Gladys's remains. They are experiencing emotional, spiritual and traumatic problems." In a statement, the Halls said: "David Hall and Partners' involvement in breeding guinea pigs for biomedical research will cease at the end of 2005. "The business, which has operated for over three decades, will undergo a phased closure until then to ensure the welfare of animals involved. "The business has continued during a sustained protest from animal rights extremists for six years, which included the desecration of the grave of Gladys Hammond last October. We now hope that, as a result of this announcement, those responsible for removing Gladys's body will return her so she can lie once again in her rightful resting place." They said they planned a "return to traditional farming" and "have no plans to be involved in the breeding of animals for medical or scientific research". A close relative of Mrs Hammond, who declined to be named, said: "Gladys was a relative of the Halls by marriage only and had no involvement in guinea pig breeding. David Hall and Partners will now close. The reason Gladys was taken from her family no longer exists. There is no reason why her body cannot be returned to those of us who loved her."
Insp David Bird, of Staffordshire Police, said the investigation into the theft of Mrs Hammond's remains would continue. He said the episode did "nothing to forward the cause of animal rights". The AR savages think otherwise. A spokesman for Save the Newchurch Guinea Pigs, a campaign group set up in 1999 to lobby for the farm's closure, said: "This is the most fantastic day of my life. It's a victory for the animals and it's a fundamental victory for the animal rights movement. I feel so unbelievably proud to be part of the movement."
It gets worse: At one point, the mutant claimed that they have dismembered the body and buried "one sixth" of it in a different location from the rest. | ||

| #8 Surely it's illegal to mess about with a corpse in England? I know it is in the States -- an "artist" was convicted in Cincinnati just for photographing posed cadavers in the morgue, as was the morgue attendant for allowing it. |

| #5 A new and especially depraved low for the animal liberation folks. They suffer from a very special, as of yet not clinically recognized form of mental illness. |

| #1 "mook" Potentially interesting etymology here. In the Staffordshire dialect, "moke" (pronounced almost as "mook") is one of several words for "donkey." It occurs as such in Shakespeare and is also the origin of the name Mini-Moke for the utility version of the original Austin Mini automobile. |
