ANIMALS ARE STOLEN
Read : book titled 'A
Cat in Hell's Chance'
By The Campaigners
Edited by Anny

published by Slingshot
2002, 220 pages, 195mmx125mm, softback. When Cynthia O’Neill’s cat
Snowy was stolen from a small village in Oxfordshire, England, the
thieves, who probably sold animals to local laboratories for
vivisection, could have had no idea of the chain of events they
would set off. The theft of her cat led Cynthia into a battle royal
with the nearby Hill Grove Farm which bred cats for vivisection. A
Cat in Hell’s Chance tells the story of a crusade started by a
political novice, which gathered momentum over ten years and became
a mass movement which, after battles with Oxfordshire police, many
arrests, court appearances and jailings finally shut down Hill
Grove Cat Farm.
The book, written almost entirely from contributions by
campaigners, tells the true story of one of the most effective
campaigns against the breeding and sale of animals for
experimentation and vivisection. It also traces the development and
the coming to consciousness of a retired Queens Nursing Sister who
cast off her more respectable life to commit herself utterly to the
cause of anti-vivisection. Cynthia O’Neill was tried and arrested
on a number of occasions and spent frequent periods in police
custody.

CATS
ARE STOLEN
"We are very concerned for 50 cats
which have disappeared recently from a housing estate.
Apparently the horrible labs pay medical students to kidnap them,
but it is hard to catch these people and to prove where the poor
animals are being sent.
We can only hope that someone will manage to trace them.
Cynthia's own cat was stolen several years ago and she found out
that it had been taken to a cat farm and sent on to a lab.
This incident was later recorded in a book titled 'A Cat in
Hell's Chance'.
