About me:

Mel Broughton was sentenced to 10 years on February 13th 2009 in connection with the SPEAK campaign. Mel has been told he must serve at least five years before being eligible for release.

A jury cleared him of possessing explosive substances, but failed to reach a verdict on other charges. Following his retrial in 2009 he was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison for 'conspiracy to commit arson'.

Evidence against him was flimsy, including:

* His moral support for illegal direct action, which he was open about.
* His previous convictions for arson, which again is no secret.
* His speeches against the Oxford lab, which were perfectly legal
* Possession of some sparklers, which isn't illegal.
* Supposed DNA evidence on an match found on an incendiary device, which an expert claimed in court to be fatally flawed.

A spokesperson for SPEAK Campaigns vowed to continue the fight; "We are more determined than ever to continue the campaign against Oxford University's abuse of animals,"

Who I'd like to meet:

SPEAK - Wrong Again:

Part 1

Part 2

Felix - Victim of Oxford University:

Felix is dead now, and it’s important that we remember him. We have looked at the photos of him on numerous occasions and have been lost in his sad expression, his beautiful face. We will never forget him. Cry if you want to. Don’t be ashamed to mourn his sad, sad life. At SPEAK everyone has shed a tear for poor Felix. We had for months now been fighting to save Felix but we couldn’t save him despite all the efforts we put into getting him released. However, the fight has not been in vain: it continues.

This is far from the end of Felix's story. This is just the beginning. We know more today than we ever knew about the project Felix was being used and abused for. We now know that Felix was just the first victim of a 5 year project that began in 2006; a project that will be using, abusing and killing 2 macaque monkeys every year. The project will run for 5 years, which means that it still has about 4 years to run.

Felix and Mel, both innocent and both condemned.
This world is so mad. And so sad.
I wish to Mel all the best.

He's a hero of today.

Hi Support Mel

10/22 Thurs. of the stray black dog, the one whose best friend, another black male dog was murdered

10/22 Thurs. of the stray black dog, the one whose best friend, another black male dog was murdered

Update: Stray black dog who's friend was killed by hit & run truck.

Pictures I took today 10/22 Thurs. of the stray black dog whose best friend, another black male dog was purposely run over & killed by someone in a white truck couple months ago in front of me & this dog who lost the only living thing he ever let near him.

He's eating a bowl of dry food, always takes food out the bowl & puts it on the ground before eating. I took the pics through my front window screen, he's a lot further than it looks. We built a cover over the bowl so the food doesn't spoil in rain, still won't come in garage to eat.

Little guy's gone underground, we think he stays under a small bridge that goes over a running stream partly on our property. He still hangs out in the cow pasteur across the road. My husband says there's small hollow caves, nooks & crannies where he can protect himself from bad weather under bridge.

He's not skinny anymore & is eating food we put out for daily. We still try to coax him but he runs, he's become wild.

My friends here followed this story since the other dog was alive & I was trying to rescue both. You showed a lot of kindness & concern
