Cranford Impex couriers protest by animal rights activists near Kettering

Transcript

00:00Right, come on, that's enough now, lads.

00:03I can't stop it.

00:11We're here today as a part of the campaign against Impex Couriers.

00:15Impex are a company that transport beagle dogs from MBR Acres.

00:19They also transport monkeys from destinations like Manchester Airport

00:24to contract testing laboratories around the UK

00:27where these animals are used in very painful terminal experiments and toxicity testing.

00:33So these animals are poisoned to death.

00:35And the Impex vans that carry those animals around the country are currently in these sheds here,

00:40in these anonymous looking sheds in the middle of the countryside

00:43where no one can see them and no one knows what they're doing.

00:46We've found out where they are and we're here today to highlight that the Impex are here,

00:50what they do and why they need to be stopped.

00:53We're talking about beagle dogs, primates and other animals

00:56which, as I said before, are taken to contract testing laboratories, businesses

01:01and they're used in toxicology experiments where these animals can be slowly poisoned to death.

01:05In periods up to the 90s today.

01:07It's an appalling death, unnecessary in the 21st century

01:11when we have technologies that we can use that are more relevant to human beings.

01:16We shouldn't be doing this.

01:17So that's why we're here today.
