‘Harris reveals the history of an extraordinary animal rights
campaign that I was proud to be associated with. A heartfelt and
important account of a movement that inspired thousands’ Benjamin
Zephaniah, poet and activist ‘When DIY ethos plays out on a grand
scale, it has the power to shake governments and change the world.
This is a must-read for all contemporary activists’ Moby, musician
‘A story of compassion and courage that was crushed by the state,
and a powerful testament to the inspirational campaigns of people who
stood for a world without suffering’ Peter Tatchell, campaigner for
human and animal liberation 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. Your Neighbour
Kills Puppies tells the inside story of this remarkable campaign and
the forces that rose up 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. Tom
Harris has spent two decades in the animal liberation movement and is
a former coordinator of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty. He received a
five-year prison sentence during the attempted ‘elimination’ of
the anti-vivisection movement and is a named victim in the
Miscarriages of Justice category of the Government’s Undercover
Policing Inquiry.
