Rejected petition Ensure adequate surveillance (like email, phone, personal contacts) by police & MI5 on animal rights activists who terrorise & intimidate others
More details
Animal rights activists/luddites that terrorise, intimate others & commit other crimes should be kept under surveillance & prosecuted if necessary. Animals bred for specially for the sole purpose of experimentation or food are often kept in less cruel conditions than if those animals were living wild, fending a living for themselves. Animal experimentation is as essential as breeding animals for food & harvesting the by-products (like leather) of their slaughter. Animal rights activists are often unaware of the importance of the need to study & understand in detail the effects of potential new drugs on a multitude of complex biochemical & pharmacological processes on suitable animal models. One of main principles of pharmacology & biochemistry are that drugs are agonists (enhancer) or antagonists (inhibiter) that attach (like lock & key) to biological substrates (like cell receptors in membranes, DNA, enzymes, metabolites) & can switch on or off certain metabolic pathways.
