Manifestation anti-cruauté envers les animaux: 13 arrestations

Presse Canadienne

Montréal


Une manifestation dirigée par un groupe de personnes qui dénoncent la cruauté envers les animaux a mal tourné en soirée, dimanche, dans l'ouest de Montréal, 13 personnes ayant été arrêtées pour avoir troublé la paix.

Les arrestations ont eu lieu dans le parc où se tenait la manifestation, à l'angle des rues Sherbrooke Ouest et Rosedale, dans le quartier Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

Une vingtaine de personnes participaient à la manifestation, la plupart d'âge mineur. La police ne déplore aucun geste violent mais le refus d'obtempérer des protestataires a valu à plusieurs d'entre eux d'être conduits au poste de police.

Des accusations d'avoir troublé la paix risquent d'être portées; les suspects devraient comparaître par voie de sommation.

Il devait être tard et ils devaient être bruyants. Ils ont aussi arrêté Jagghi Singh, samedi. Il voulait tout simplement parler mais ils l'ont empêché de parler et l'ont arrêté.

Police keeping an eye on animal rights protesters
13 arrested at demonstration Sunday. Group has targeted the homes of three
executives living in Westmount

Montreal police are keeping tabs on a group of animal rights

activists who launched a campaign of harassment against three Westmount
executives they believe do business with a company that conducts animal
testing.

Police charged 13 people with breach of the peace on Sunday night after
their latest protest outside a home on Roslyn Ave.

A neighbour said the group has demonstrated outside the same home at least
10 times during the past two years, chanting slogans like "puppy killers"
and putting fliers through mailboxes showing pictures of animals that have
been cut open.

"They use foul language, which deters people from taking them seriously,"
said the woman, who didn't want her name published. "There is a whole lot of
noise and a lot of anger."

The woman said the police appear to be monitoring the demonstrations closely
and often turn up before the protesters arrive.

Officers were on hand when the group assembled at the Guy-Concordia metro
station at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, said Constable Olivier Lapointe of the Montreal
police.

The group, which often uses megaphones during its protests, ignored police
orders not to gather in front of the home on Roslyn. Police arrested the
demonstrators as they walked toward another home on Victoria Ave. because
they refused to disperse, Lapointe said.

The protesters have held similar demonstrations about 20 times during the
past year. Police have made arrests at other protests, but they couldn't say
how many.

Of the thirteen people arrested on Sunday, three are minors.

A police source said yesterday the owner of one of the targeted homes does
not work for a company involved in animal testing.

"They are going on wrong information," he said.

Westmount Mayor Karin Marks said she has received complaints from residents
on both streets who are distressed about the demonstrations.

"It is frightening. Many of these people have young children," she said.
"Sometimes they (the protesters) have masks and are shouting slogans."

The animal rights activists are loosely affiliated with a British group
called Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, which campaigns against Huntingdon
Life Sciences, a laboratory in Britain that uses animals to test
pharmaceutical products, agricultural chemicals and food products.

In September, three U.S. protesters received prison sentences of four to six
years for orchestrating a campaign of threats and harassment against
Huntingdon's lab in New Jersey.

Eric Desjardins, a spokesperson for the group, which calls itself Animal
Liberation Montreal, said its members won't be deterred by the arrests.
