Une victoire devant un tribunal fédéral dans l'affaire Schlossberg !
A trial that began on January 17th came to a close under a unanimous ruling on the 23rd that a Eugene police sergeant used excessive force to arrest an environmental activist who videotaped their confrontation in front of a downtown bank in 2009.… U.S. District Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin had ruled even before the trial began that the officer had violated Joshua Schlossberg’s rights by viewing the contents of his video camera without first obtaining a warrant. This left the jury to rule only on whether the incident had been one of excessive force and whether or not the officer had acted according to the law in the overall incident.
Victoire pour Schlossberg et Cop Watch
On Monday, January 23rd, a federal jury ruled that Sergeant Solesbee used excessive force in an arrest of environmental activist Josh Schlossberg. The CLDC has been working tirelessly for years on Schlossberg’s case and is pleased with the verdict. We hope that this case will be a precedent in protecting the rights of activists to film police officers.

L'autre côté du débat sur la recherche animale
MYTHE : “ Nous devons reconnaître que la recherche scientifique n'est pas seulement une carrière légitime, mais aussi une facette inestimable du progrès médical, menée par des professionnels respectables qui méritent notre soutien. Les actions déplorables de ces éco-terroristes menacent d'entraver d'importants progrès médicaux en Californie et dans tout le pays. ” — Sénatrice Feinstein, coauteure de l'AETA
Démocratie ou capitalisme ?
If you think that this law was passed by Congress and your elected representatives with sufficient knowledge, time, and debate, think again. This bill was introduced and pushed by big businesses for big businesses. AETA protects the interests of animal enterprises such as the National Pork Producers Association, Pfizer Drug Co. and other pharmaceutical corporations that engage in cruel and unnecessary animal testing, McDonald’s and other fast—food corporations that profit from the sale of factory—farmed animals for food, and Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble and other cosmetic companies that repetitiously abuse animals to test and retest their latest line of beauty products. ( Read more about what goes on behind the walls of animal enterprises.)
