EN:
Save the Newchurch Guinea Pigs (SNGP) was a six-year campaign by British animal rights activists to close a farm in Newchurch, Staffordshire that bred guinea pigs for animal research. The owners, three brothers trading as David Hall and Partners, announced in August 2005 that they were closing the business as a result of the pressure from activists, which included harassment, damage to property, and threats of physical violence. Set up in 1999, the campaign became notorious in October 2004 when the remains of Christopher Hall's mother-in-law were removed from her grave in St Peter's churchyard, Yoxall, an act condemned by several animal rights groups, including Save the Newchurch Guinea Pigs itself. The BBC and Burton Mail newspaper received correspondence in April 2005 signed the Animal Rights Militia claiming responsibility. The remains were recovered in May 2006 when police searched woodland after receiving information from an activist they had arrested. Prosecutors were unable to prove that the disturbance of the grave was linked to the campaign, but four activists were jailed for conspiracy to blackmail, after admitting using the removal of the remains to put pressure on the Halls.
SK:
Save the Newchurch Guinea Pigs bola šesťročná kampaň aktivistov a aktivistiek za práva zvierat s cieľom zatvoriť chovnú farmu pri britskej dedine Newchurch v grófstve Staffordshire, ktorá dodávala vivisekčným laboratóriám domáce morčatá na pokusné účely. Majitelia farmy, traja bratia pod obchodným menom David Hall and Partners, oznámili v auguste roku 2005, že sú nútení firmu zatvoriť v dôsledku silného tlaku zo strany aktivistov.
