SEAR’s stated SEAR’s aim is to bring an end to all forms of animal abuse and cruelty by all legitimate forms of protest, and by highlighting our campaign target's records of animal cruelty, staff incompetence, falsification of data and criminal activities.

Nothing contained on this website or in any SEAR publication is intended to encourage or incite illegal acts.

SEAR does not encourage or incite any illegal activities.

SEAR does not encourage or incite repetitive, threatening or abusive communications with any company, be this by telephone call, fax, email or letter.

SEAR has no links or involvement with the Animal Liberation Front or the Animal Rights Militia, whoever they may be. Any articles from the press published on this web site relating to illegal activities carried out against our campaigns targets and associated companies are posted for the sole reason of publishing news related to those companies and are not intended to incite or encourage similar acts.

Many of the demo reports are received by SEAR anonymously and we cannot take any responsibility for the content or accuracy of these reports. Readers must bear in mind that certain demonstrations eg home demonstrations and office occupations are now illegal in the UK although they are perfectly legal in other countries, and the inclusion of reports relating to these demos abroad does in no sense amount to encouragement to do similar demonstrations in the UK.

The comments expressed on this web site are not necessarily the views of SEAR or the site editors.

Anyone carrying out protesting activities against any target of SEAR campaigns is encouraged to familiarise themselves with the law by getting a copy of the Freebeagles legal booklet available from SEAR and visiting the independent legal website www.freebeagles.org.

New laws designed to protect the customers and suppliers of animal testing laboratories from unlawful activity are now in force. These laws do not make it illegal to protest peacefully. For more on this see here
