Actions Taken in Solidarity
"All citizens have the right to actively stand up for or demonstrate against something. It is particularly important to stand up for animal rights because animals cannot stand up for themselves. People must do it for them. Animals, like all the defenceless, rely on this protection." (Elfriede Jelinek, Nobel Prize for literature 2004)Should organisations acting for animals that have always operated peacefully and within the law have their functioning hampered by the seizure of their material?
The international community - activists, celebrities, NGO's - express deep concern at what appears to be an attempt to criminalise the animal advocacy movement and to stifle the political freedom of those involved in it, organising demos, protests and sending through statements of support.
