THE BIG ISSUE magazine announced yesterday that it would no longer publish advertisements for a major pharmaceutical research company because one of its vendors was attacked by an animal rights activist.
The magazine, which provides employment for the homeless, complained that its streetsellers had been targeted by activists campaigning against Covance, a clinical testing company. [...]
The latest incident took place when a vendor was selling copies of the magazine in Liverpool city centre. He was approached by an activist who shouted abuse and then punched him in the face.
It's bad enough that we've got Muslim terrorist running around blowing up innocent people and now some animal rights nuts attack a homeless person.
If pressured by these animal rights groups, will the Big Issue stop publishing advertisements for fishing equipment or fishing lodges next? How about KFC or Bernard Matthews advertising? Where does it end?
