Whilst Oxford University honors its benefactors and seeks to extend its political leverage by bestowing privileges on key individuals, the partially built animal laboratory on South Parks Rd remains at the centre of a struggle to end animal suffering and remove the prejudice and arrogance that keeps vivisection and a fraudulent scientific practice alive.
