Gosport, Hampshire Friday 14 August 2015 Stop Wickham Animal Testing Peaceful protest outside the controversial animal testing laboratory in Gosport Wickham Laboratories recently announced it was expanding its operation at new six-acre site in Barwell Lane, Gosport. It has drawn fierce criticism from animal rights groups who are planning to protest against the purchase. Campaigners say increased attention from animal rights activists will put other businesses off setting up in the town. Emma Haskell, 37, of Stop Wickham Animal Testing, said: ‘It will make Gosport a target for animal rights protests. ‘I understand they want more business here in Gosport and that is a good idea. ‘But having this lab here will put other businesses off coming to Gosport. ‘What company is going to want to set up at a site where there is animal rights protests and things like that going on all the time? ‘It’s going to get a lot of attention. ‘We’ve had support from Australia and all over the place and their attention will be focused on Gosport now.’ Stop Wickham Animal Testing has previously organised a number of demonstrations outside the old Wickham site. © uknip/ Alamy Live News
