Carnal Reason

A children’s nursery has become the latest target of animal rights threats, forcing it to stop providing child care vouchers to parents working for the animal testing group Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Leapfrog Day Nurseries, part of the education business Nord Anglia, said it was reviewing whether extra security measures were needed at its Peterborough nursery, which is nearest to the Life Sciences headquarters in Cambridgesire. It said it already employed “stringent security measures” to protect the children in its care.

“While threats of any sort are totally unacceptable, we have to take them seriously,” the company said. “The care of the children and our staff is of paramount concern.” The Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which has claimed responsibility for a recent campaign of bombs and arson attacks, is thought to be behind the threats.

The ALF’s actions follow from their belief that meat is murder.
