The aim of this report is to evaluate the most important
matters tackled at our last meetings.
The most dominant subject was that of the plight of wildlife, marine animals and laboratory animals. Michael Budkie, the one who chaired the conference, showed no doubt that he was working toward animal liberation. Direct action groups and activists such as Sea Shepherd Society, Peter Young, Animal Liberation Front, and Animal Rescue Corps were attending the meeting. Almost all of them allied to apply pressure to the laboratory research industry by exposing them and filling complaints to shut them down. The debates following focused on another issue of great importance in these times and that is the urban anonymity. Andrew Morley drew the attention to the most blameworthy cause for people losing their privacy the internet. All the attendants agreed that it exposes activities and all sorts of details related to our identity we would rather keep private and sometimes without us knowing. However no one could give an effective solution yet. The last matter discussed was that of the surveillance cameras. Sylvia Conway pointed out that even though peoples privacy could be affected this way it would also ensure their safety and the good behavior of the ones around them. Everyone seemed to agree with this outlook and voted in favour. According to the majority of the attendants, the meetings could be considered a great succes overall. The next issues that are expected to be discussed in the future are those of crime, homelessness and poverty.
