Sick Bastards
According to The Independent, animal rights extremists have moved on from threatening adults and are now targeting children as well.
Letters sent to the home addresses of company directors [of Leapfrog Day Nurseries] threatened that the childcare company, which has 10,000 places nationwide, would “suffer the consequences” if it did not withdraw a vouchers scheme offered to HLS employees within seven days.
Leapfrog said last night that it had decided to end the vouchers scheme immediately because of the threat from the Animal Rights Militia.
A spokesman for the nursery company said: “Whilst threats of any sort are totally unacceptable, we have to take them seriously. The care of the children and our staff is of paramount concern. Our business is childcare and we have to take every precaution when it comes to the security and safety of these children and our employees.”

The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) this week claimed responsibility for a firebomb left outside the Buckinghamshire home of Paul Blackburn, a senior executive with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the pharmaceutical giant, which has links with HLS.
The device exploded on the porch of the house while Mr Blackburn’s wife and daughter were at home.
And…
An incendiary device was also placed at a sports pavilion in Oxford owned by Corpus Christi College as a protest against a primate laboratory being built by the university.
Not only are these people violent criminals but, if any of them has ever received any medical treatment, they are also hypocrites.
