On October 14, 2011, Italian activists occupied the roof of the beagle delivery unit at Green Hill (Marshall BioResources), Europe’s largest farm breeding dogs for vivisection. Currently in the UK, the farm’s sister company – B&K Universal – are attempting to gain permission to construct a facility holding 2,000 beagles for laboratories. On April 28, animal liberationists launched a bold raid which, despite losses noted below, was a clear victory and set a new precendent Italian activism and, along with the amazing Chinese activists who have stopped trucks carryinmg hundreds of dogs to the slaughouse, let us hope the global animal liberation movement is turning a corner away from pacifism — technically, passivist non-resistance and collaborationism — toward militant direct action and animal liberation by any means necessary.
The Green Hill beagle liberation has made major waves in the Italian mainstream media; see:

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Cops arrest 12 activists, 7 still held, servants of the state and ultimate slaves to capital, cops return 7 of 30 liberated dogs to their tormentors in white suits; all animals freed from the budgeons of the phamaceutical-industrial complex noted to have strong smell of urine and one puppy bore the scar of an incision running the length of his abdomen (see the Examiner story).
“Anonymous” threatens retaliation for arrests and return of some dogs to their executioners, sending this message to a fur company and to the Italian state: “Attack of the site SD Fur: Anonymous has made an attack against those who derive profit from the blood and the suffering of animals. We intend to support with our means of speciesism and the victims of human cruelty. We want to raise awareness about the daily barbarism that are committed in the name of profit and bloody fashion, these animals are blinded and deafened before their death. These are innocent victims, and we will send a clear message to perpetrators. This is just the beginning.”

THE DOGS WERE NO ONE’S TO “OWN” IN THE FIRST PLACE, LET ALONE TO MAIN, POISON, TORTURE, AND MURDER; HUNDREDS PERHAPS THOUSANDS OF ITALIAN FAMILIES ARE NO DOUBT OFFERING LOVING CARE AND HOMES FOR THESE VICTIMS OF CAPITALISM AND PSEUDO-SCIENCE. THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, VIVISECTION IS ROOTED IN AN OUITMODED 17TH CENTURY PARADIGM. SMASH THE GLOBAL VIVISECTION-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!
MORAL AND SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS ARE INSEPERABLE FROM ANIMAL LIBERATION!
This beagle is safe tonight and will likely never agained he hated and tortured, only loved and comforted.

read that the police contacted Green Hill to have them take back those beagles they took from the activists, and GH refused to have them because they’re no longer “uncontaminated”. which is good for the beagles but says tons on their concept of purity and contamination considering that there was a very strong urine smell in the compound from which they were saved.
I used to be a strong supporter of the Radical Party here in Italy up until a month ago when I found the names of 2 (TWO!) of their senators who support vivisection. Called them in a gelid fury and told them to remove me ASAP from their list of supporters. They even tried to convince me to waste my time reading on their web sites the “moral motivations” these scumbags had for supporting torture.
Does anyone know if the rescued beagles need foster homes?
called the number regarding the green hill 7, recording says number is now restricted, I’ll send email
Reblogged this on redemptionforanimals.
the dogs confiscated by the police are now proof against the activists arrested so they’re in the police hands. those who managed to get away are keeping a low profile.
We all know for a fact that the dogs are instead proof against the “scientists” and breeders who should be arrested and in prison for life, at the very least. When things get made right the sadistic goons will be the ones hiding or locked away where they belong, the heroes will be openly honored. I hope those police are actual human beings and treating those dogs very well, learning from them also about who the real criminals are. I hope you can keep us posted on any developments. EricsFamilyTree above is asking about foster homes needed, FYI, I don’t know him at all. Thank you Daniela, from Laura
This makes me sick. To arrest those who were trying to help and rescue these dogs from abuse of all nature.
Gorgeous! United for Animals! GIVE MUCH LOVE AND COMFORT IS WHAT THEY DESERVE ❤
Here are 5 of the lucky pups from the Green Hill rescue of 2 days ago, safe and loved and hopefully secure in their new lives:
