6 - Carnival Against Vivisection - Make your stand against the vivisection industry and animal abusers with us at the Carnival Against Vivisection at Sequani Labs. This protest is in solidarity with Sean Kirtley who was imprisoned by the state for supposedly organising protests against Sequani. Even though he has never broken the law himself at Sequani (and the police agree) he was sent to prison under new SOCPA legislation which shatters the right to organise and protest in a free democracy.
