Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.

Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,

For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Protests at Charles River Laboratories in Mayo

category mayo | animal rights | event notice author Monday December 28, 2009 17:28author by Laura Broxson - National Animal Rights Associationauthor email naracampaigns at gmail dot comauthor address PO Box 11019, Dublin 2 Report this post to the editors

Hi,

On Friday 15th January, we'll be going back to protest both Charles River Laboratories in Mayo.

This time, we will be renting people-carriers (7 seater cars) instead of hiring a mini-bus. We'll need to make the bookings by next Monday (4th January), so please get back to us before then if you would like to come, or if you would be willing to drive one on the day, so we know how many cars to book.

If possible, we would really appreciate a 15euro donation per person on the day, to help cover costs of car hire and petrol.

As we will be driving to Mayo ourselves, the schedule will be more relaxed, and I will be factoring in frequent breaks for the drivers.

But here is the basic plan for the day:

MEET AT:
8am, Fri. 15th January, outside the Hugh Lane Art Gallery (Parnell Square, Dublin 1) for pick-up.

Our first protest will be outside the Charles River Lab. in Carrentrila, Ballina, Co. Mayo. We should be set up there by about 12noon.

After about an hour and a half there, we'll be heading to the second Charles River Lab., in Glenamoy, Co. Mayo - which is about an hour's drive from Ballina.

We should be back in Dublin by about 8pm/9pm. Vegan food will be provided throughout the day, and please feel free to bring your own megaphones, posters and banners!

***Charles River is one of the biggest animal testing companies in the world, conduct painful, live experiments on animals for the Pharmaceutical, Animal Health, Medical Device, Biotechnology and Food Industries in this country.

They are a contract testing business, which means they will test anything, on any animal, for a price. Thousands of animals are experimented on in these labs every year. Their torturous lives are full of pain, fear, suffering and misery. Any animal that manages to survive an experiment, is killed shortly afterwards.

Animals are bred on site, both for their own use and to sell to universities and other commercial laboratories, and we have been informed by sympathisers that the species used include mice, rats, dogs, cats and horses. Over the years we have also received claims of animal bodies and toxic waste being dumped in the nearby lake, as well as reports of dogs being heard barking and howling for hours on end in breeding sheds.***


Hope you can make it - and don't forget to let us know before Monday!

Thanks,

National Animal Rights Association

That part of Mayo has a recent 'tradition' of being heavily over-policed to suppress protest against the environmental and human rights abuses at Bellanaboy and Glengad. Wear black to commemorate the victims, and to be a 'black mass' to the cops; to wear colour is to be auto-singled out...
