Activists guilty of hate campaign...

As $loth has already mentioned, they're nothing but terrorists and should be treated as such.

The irony being as that these people have become exactly who they set out to fight in the process of doing so.

I'm normally the first to jump on any sort of high horsed bandwagon but the above statement hits the nail on the head for those guys.

So you agree with terrorising innocent people then?

I'm not stating my opinion. But the people who work for HLS are by and large far from innocent.. On account of them dealing in animal testing/torture. Again, I'm not stating an opinion, just saying, that's what they do.

I meant innocent as in not breaking any laws. They're legally going about their business, so what gives scum like this the right to terrorise them?

So you are vegan, do not take any medicines or have any medical procedures that have had any animal testing involvement and you agree with pursuing a political single issue through terrorism? Or are you just trolling?
To answer the OP's question, yes I am glad they got caught.

Hope they rot.

No! I eat meat thats been killed humanely, And there are other means of testing medicine without the use of animals, so there needn't be animal cruelty.

Little better than terrorists IMHO.

I trust the likes of ^TANK^ and romperstomper who appear to be glorifying this sort of act are sufficiently sincere in their ideals to refuse all and any medical treatment in future should they require it?

How do you ensure that the meat you eat has been killed "humanely"? You have no idea what medicines have been tested on animals so you are copping out by saying there are other methods without finding out what they are and on what drugs, medicines or procedures they have contributed to.

No chance whatsoever. Double standards all the way round IMO

So to treat them with respect means you can break the law with impunity.

Because the last time they tested on humans without proper animal testing and documentation, that went swimmingly.

To be honest, I'd rather that had happened to a rabbit or mouse or in this case, the dog (as much as I love dogs) than a human being.

As for eating meat that has been reared and killed to the highest standards... you don't need to fire bomb farms or intimidate and terrorise anyone and everyone associated or linked to the farm in question to make it known you care where your food comes from and how it is treated. Which is why programs like River Cottage, Jimmys Farm and Kill It Cook It Eat It, that educate the public on where their meat comes from and the husbandry behind it are so important.

Paid gamble that they willingly took. I'm not revelling in their distress but they knew there was a risk of something going wrong.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong utter hippie drivel. We don't fully understand the exact going ons of the human body and so we can't e.g. program simulators or computer software to perform trials that are as scientifically sound as testing on animals.

Yet, maybe one day we can. I'd rather not sit around until then passing on drugs to human beings, that haven't been tested as effectively.

I'm totally against animal testing for all purposes apart from medicine. The fact that people go to these lengths really baffle me. They like animals better than their own human relatives and friends?

The fact that terrorists do what is stated in the op has probably damaged their cause significantly.
