Oxford colleges brace themselves for protest commemorating World Day for Animals in Laboratories
Several colleges will close to visitors due to an animal rights protest planned for Saturday.
Protesters will descend upon Oxford from around the UK on Saturday, April 27th, to mark the World Day for Animals in Laboratories (WDAIL).
Though the protest is expected to be relatively peaceful, various colleges have cited noise issues that could affect revision for exams, as well as security concerns, as the reason for shutting their doors to tourists during the protests.
A press release from the organisers of the protest stated that the rally would begin at noon at Oxpens Recreation Ground and that the protesters would subsequently march around the city, ending up at the University Vivisection Laboratory on South Parks Road, where they plan to stop for two speeches in honour of the animals subject to University experiments.
