We are joined this week by Tom Harris to discuss his new book, Your Neighbour Kills Puppies: Inside the Animal Liberation Movement, which tells the story of the legendary SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty) campaign, which not only forever changed how the animal rights movement was viewed by the powers that be but also ended up with Tom, along with many others on both sides of the Atlantic, serving years in prison.
Described as ‘a firebrand’ by the Daily Mail and ‘highly successful’ by Hampshire Police, Tom Harris (author of Your Neighbour Kills Puppies) has twenty years of experience in the animal liberation movement. He has launched and coordinated numerous pressure campaigns, successfully closing puppy farms, shuttering chicken units, and ending military diving experiments on goats. He was a prominent organizer of the infamous SHAC campaign, for which he was set up by the state and spent several years in prison.
