| This section of the site is dedicated to the memory of all the brave activists out there that have given the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in an effort to bring an end to the amount of animal cruelty that goes on in this world. Their efforts will not be forgotten and their memory will live on forever. These people are an example to us all. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Died during a hunger strike, staged to protest against vivisection. It was done in order to persuade the government to stop the sick industry. He told a friend he was afraid to die before doing the strike, which is a sign of the courage he had for going through with it. The government is still pro-vivisection |

| Died at a hare hunt. After a succesful sabotage of a hunt, one of the huntsmen packed the beagles away and began to drive off. On instinct, several sabs, inculding Mike, held onto the back of the truck in order to stop the hunter going to hunt in another area. Mike let go of the truck and was crushed between the trailer and the truck. He died in the road. No charges were pressed and the hunter (Summersgill) is still out hunting to this day |

| Think about these people the next time somebody tells you that it's their right as a human to go out hunting. That vivisection is right because the lives of humans are saved. Or when you are looking for a reason to turn vegetarian. Please remember these people in your prayers. More infomation can be found here |
