Laurie Pycroft , age 16, took a year off school to build websites and futter about on the Internet. When
animal rights campaigners waged a series of protests against a
new biomedical research lab being constructed at Oxford University - with the extremist group
Animal Liberation Front threatening buildings, students and staff as "legitimate targets" - Laurie decided to form
Pro-Test, an organisation in support of animal testing, and stage a counterdemonstration to the monthly anti-testing demo at Oxford.
The result: On 25 February, at least 700 protestors,
eminent scientists, politicians, and
students showed up.
So did the media.
