Reader Lucy Brett is absolutely right -- the police do seem to have strange priorities (Oxford Mail, May 16).
It seems unjust laws are passed to try to intimidate even the most peaceful animal rights' campaigners.
Any demonstrators who are caught handing out leaflets about vivisection are likely to be arrested.
Peaceful demonstrators who merely want people to know the horrific truth about animal experiments are treated like criminals.
Oxford University introduced vivisection in 1885 and its Professor of Literature, John Ruskin, quit in disgust the following day, unwilling to work for, and be associated with, a university capable of such barbaric animal cruelty.
A man with a conscience, he went on to open the brilliant Ruskin College in 1889.
Oxford University vivisectors have made themselves wealthy through 'careers' based on greed, cruelty and a morbid fascination with suffering.
As for the police, there aren't enough officers and the ones we do have need to catch criminals, not harass animal welfare campaigners.
