On the 10th of February 2013 a demonstration against the transportation
of lab animals by Air France-KLM took place on the Hamburg Airport. The
demonstration was organized by the animal liberation group ANIMAL
LIBERATION NETWORK (ALN) from Hamburg, Germany.
The first contact of
the ALN activists was with 5 to 6 police officers who were friendly but
immediately told us not to chant slogans as it could interfere with
important airport voice announcements.
Up to 35 activist took
part when the demonstration began. Whereas a bigger part was holding
signs and banners, some activists were handing out campaign leaflets
covering the entire airport area and started talks with passengers and
visitors. During these conversations most people agreed to our appeals
and aims. After one hour, as it was prohibited to chant due to a police
order, one activist started speaking in a very loud way explaining why
we are here and what we want to achieve. Immediately the police came
over and told to stop the shouting even it was not chanting of many or
chanting at all. As we weren’t able to find a consensus we had to accept
that order.
Over all we were very happy with the demonstration
and we thank all supporters and activists for coming, holding creatively
designed placards and banners and handing out campaign leaflets.
The
goal, to have all transports of lab animals stopped, is not achieved
yet. First steps are made in Hamburg. The more important it is sticking
at our insistences and showing them companies, which make a lot of
profit with this cruel business, that this has to end prompt!
