The "B.P.R.C 10" CD=OUT OF STOCK !!!!!
During the night of the 24 th of November 2002 ten activists occupied the headquarters of the B.P.R.C. in Rijswijk. The activists locked themselves in the building as a protest against animal testing carried out on the premises. They were duely evicted and arrested. After spending 10 days in remand they appeared in court on the 5 th of December. Following the guilty verdict a sentence of 17 days imprisonment of which 7 were suspended and additionally ordered to pay damages to the BPRC of 20.000 euro. Each member of the B.P.R.C 10 are individually responsible for the payment of the whole sum. Because the amount is intended as damages instead of a fine it is not possible to have the amount converted into any other form for example prison time, or community service. This also means that there is no expiry date or statute of limitations to speak of. After examining all options to have the sentence overturned, or the penalty diminished, the 10 people held responsible decided to raise the sum of monies demanded by the court. After first exhausting their own personal financial resources, they turned elsewhere for assistance. Through the financial support of various leftwing action groups and liberal organisations in Holland the total sum was realised and provided as a loan to the "B.P.R.C. 10. The terms of the loan are simply that the money should be paid back in full within 2 years. 20,000 euros remains a large sum therefore we hope to assist through the release and sale of this CD.
It is a shame that the authorities and the A.I.V.D. have chosen this manner in an attempt to silence the voices of the protestors, but this is precisely why we have to keep on going.
We thank you for your support.

What is the BPRC?
The B.P.R.C. (Biomedical Primate Research Center) in Rijswijk, Holland, is the largest primate testing center in Europe. The centre contains approximately 1600 monkeys, made up from 110 chimpanzees, 1000 rhesus monkeys, plus numbers of macaques, doeroecoelis and marmosets. A number of these primates are on the 'red list' as endangered species. The B.P.R.C. carry out research through vivisection in the areas of infectious diseases, xenotransplantation, radiation exposure, chronic illnesses, neurological disorders, and, on behalf of the military, teargas effectiveness. After years of research the results are inconclusive. The fact that apes cannot develop the human strain of the aids virus is a fact long accepted by the scientific community. Through the research into xenotransplantation, the B.P.R.C. manage to get around the Dutch law in order to make use of genetically modified pigs imported from England. The fact that the B.P.R.C., under contract from the Dutch, German, and United States military, let animals suffer and die as a result of research into man made chemical warfare agents like poison gas, and nerve gas is unacceptable. Alongside their own breeding program the B.P.R.C. import around 250 apes a year from China, India, and Pakistan.
The B.P.R.C. is one of the highest government subsidised organisations. Each year they receive a total of 2.1 million euros partly from the Dutch government, and partly from the European union. This continues despite the fact that the surrounding countries a more and more voting to reduce if not ban completely the practice of vivisection. There exist many more cost effective scientific alternatives to animal testing but governments make almost no money available for development of these methods. For every euro invested in development only 1 cent goes toward the development of alternative research methods.
