Detail from Animal Rights march - the biggest anti-vivisection demo ever - London, 1992
Flashback to 25th April 1992 – the biggest anti-vivisection demo ever. in 1992, thousands of people marched through central London to mark World Day for Laboratory Animals (WDLA). The event was organised by the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) who said: “This year we broke our own record for the largest anti-vivisection march ever as in the region of 23,000 people supported a good natured but noisy march to Earls Court.” Another WDLA march and rally was held in 1994 but numbers had declined to about 15,000. In 1995 NAVS dropped the demonstration as “there were no new elements we could add…and that it could start to become stale.” Since then no WDLA demo has come anywhere near the numbers of the early nineties. Boots caved in to pressure and shut its laboratory down in 1995. More info here: network23.org/redblackgreen/2015/04/25/flashback-23-april...
Taken using a Nikon F-501 SLR camera with 75-200mm lens.
