Today, the 16th July 2015 is a sad day in the 21ST CENTURY when Greg Clark MP (for the UK Government) has overturned a planning inspector's refusal to allow Yorkshire Evergreen (Marshall Farm Groups Ltd/ B and K Universal/Marshall BioResources) a facility for Beagle puppies to be bred for drug testing at Grimston, near Hull in East Yorkshire.

The new facility will be the 2nd of it's kind in the UK specifically for breeding Beagles for vivisection. The planning was previously opposed by the LOCAL council and has been the subject of a long running campaign by animal rights groups and most importantly, LOCAL residents.

Money has spoken today, it's thought that the vivisection industry is worth around £5m in the UK, clearly this has had more influence on Mr Clark than over 100,000 of objectors, local opinion and the rights of these poor Beagles bred for a life of misery.

Mr Clark and all those involved in today's decision should hang their heads in shame at allowing this rich American company to practice such barbaric acts on defenceless Beagles.

Nothing has changed since the original application was rejected nearly 2 years ago, why Mr Clark have you made this preposterous decision?
