Here’s a taste of what PETA UK’s been doing with the money they received from Covance Inc. following the dismissal of Covance’s lawsuit against them. Karma’s a bitch, sometimes.

Why do animals or humans have to suffer? Is animal testing so addictive that other alternatives won't even be considered? Tunnel vision will destroy us.

as much as i value the life of an animal it seems somewhat nonsensical to expect modern medicine to take care of you but only expect testing to be done on humans. i almost get the impression that you'd rather humans suffer...

If there is anyone that was not sickened by the PETA videos taken at Covance in Virginia they must work for Covance. While research is important cruelty and an indifference to any animal is beyond comprehension.

I want to know what kind of people work for a company like this...here's a scenario in someone's life working for Covance Honey how was your day at work? Oh nothing special I put some electrodes in a primate's brain and watched it suffer. I would like to meet people like this and have a face to face!

Mars The bottom line is Covance were the ones who initiated the lawsuit against PETA UK and Covance ended up getting spanked. And it cost them a few quid in the process.

Given that the US now consider environmentalists and animal rights people "domestic terrorists" and a bigger threat than jihadists and Right wing nut jobs like Tim McVeigh it's no wonder Covence won their suit here. BUT Victory for PETA Europe Covance Drops Lawsuit Video of Appalling Abuse of Monkeys to Be Shown Worldwide Company's False Assurance of Good Welfare Practices Exposed For 11 months an investigator from PETA US worked as a technician inside the Vienna Virginia Covance laboratory where she documented workers who were striking choking taunting and deliberately tormenting terrified monkeys. Covance sought an injunction and was able to get a court order temporarily preventing PETA Europe from showing the undercover footage from inside the Covance animaltesting facility in the United States. On 16 June His Honour Judge Langan handed down judgement in the case for injunctive relief brought by Covance Laboratories against PETA Europe Ltd dismissing the case and calling the arguments against granting an interim injunction "cumulative and in my judgment overwhelming". Furthermore PETA Europe was awarded 145000 in court costs. Covance Laboratories considered appealing this decision but PETA Europe's case was so strong that the company withdrew its appeal request and dropped the entire lawsuit before it was brought in front of the Appeal Court judges. Covance will now be responsible for paying PETA Europe's additional legal costs.

JWK Your post is very interesting. I "think" I can understand what you are referring to in general without knowing the exact details. And if my understanding is correct then stay strong and keep up the good fight! You are not alone.
