‘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.
