Beskrivning

For many people, the name 'Huntingdon Life Sciences' will live forever in infamy. In the early 2000s, Europe's largest animal testing laboratory provoked public outrage, and sparked a resistance movement like no other. Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) knew the struggles for animal and human liberation to be inextricably linked. The State knew that they had to be stopped…Your Neighbour Kills Puppies tells the complete inside story of this remarkable campaign and the forces arrayed against it. It exposes a murky world of institutional animal exploitation, government collusion, corporate lobbyists, agent provocateurs and police spies desperate to silence dissent. Author and campaign veteran Tom Harris transports the reader into the heart of the action, through underground tunnels and illicit animal rescues, before detailing the brutal state-led crackdown which saw scores of activists violently arrested and imprisoned.

Recensioner i media

'Harris reveals the history of an extraordinary animal rights campaign that I was proud to be associated with. It is detailed, heartfelt, and it's an important account of a movement that inspired thousands of people to wake up and shout about the cruelty that was happening in the heart of England ... SHAC may no longer be, but that militant spirit, that willingness to challenge, and the idea of people getting together because they care about all animals, is an amazing legacy. This is the book about SHAC. This is the book about US.'
