The global movement against the use of animals in medical and scientific research has a long, rich, and diverse history that dates back over a century. Join Josh Harper as he explores its roots and highlights its crowning achievements and ultimate shortcomings.

Josh Harper has been an animal liberation activist and history buff for over 15 years and has been an integral part of Northwest animal liberation culture. A member of the SHAC7, Josh served 3 years in federal prison for his defense of animals exploited in the labs of HLS. Post-confinement, Josh has become a de facto movement historian and started The Talon Conspiracy (http://thetalonconspiracy.com/), an online archive of publications, zines, magazines, books and other rare media that has been a crucial part of the animal and earth liberation movement's dynamic history.
