Animal-rights activists lose one, win one

British activists arrested, but rabbits replaced with in vitro tests in Europe.

Police last week cracked down on animal-rights activists across Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands. Many of the 32 people arrested were connected to the campaign against Cambridgeshire-based Huntingdon Life Sciences, which has been a focus of attacks in recent years along with Oxford University's new biomedical laboratory.
