"PROTESTERS RAIL AGAINST EXPERIMENTS ON GOATS
Animal Rights portestors unfurled a 4m banner and used a megaphone during
a protest about the use of goats in medical experiments.
A group of ten people stood outside Lloyds TSB Registrars in The Strand,
Goring, near Worthing, yesterday.
They want the bank to stop providing services for Gosport based firm
QinetiQ, which is using live goats to research the effects of decompression
sickness.
The firm maintains there is no alternative method of carrying out the
tests but Tom Harris from the Southern Animal Rights Coalition said
the tests were "cruel".
He said: "The goats either die from internal organ damage during
the tests or are killed afterwards.
"We had a good rection to the protest, which was peaceful, and
most of the workers took our leaflets, which was encouraging.""
