P&G
Protest Grows for 5th Year
This year's event was the most successful yet. We kicked off the weekend's
action with a protest outside P&G's new offices. Despite pouring rain,
we placed a wreath outside the building to commemorate the thousands of
innocent animals who have suffered and died at the hands of P&G. A
petition was then submitted to P&G containing 100,000 signatures.

Calling
all activists in the London area!!
Uncaged Campaigns plan to hold a demo outside the Kennel Club (1-5 Clarges
Street, Picadilly, London WIJ 8AB) to protest at their scandalous and
shameful decision not to disassociate themselves with the pet food company
Iams/Eukanuba, who have been conducting horrific and invasive experiments
on previously healthy cats and dogs.The Kennel Club were given copies
of all the 24 full published articles detailing the torture inflicted
by Iams/Eukanuba. Despite the incontrovertible evidence therein, the Kennel
Club have disgracefully come out in full support of Iams/Eukanuba and
will continue to promote their products and allow Iams/Eukanuba to (for
example) have huge stalls at their public events, such as Crufts. Please
attend on Wednesday 22nd August from 12 noon to 1.30pm.

General
Election Special Report
What happens when democracy conflicts with the interests of the pharmaceutical
industry? Our new report looks at the relationship between the pharmaceutical
industry and the Government, and the direction of policy (particularly
on animal experimentation) through this relationship - thereby bypassing
normal democratic processes such as Acts of Parliament, the rule of law,
and statutory advisory bodies such as the Animal Procedures Committee
(APC). More.
