Gateway To Hell
Website: www.gatewaytohell.net/
Every week, unbeknown to passengers, frightened animals are shipped in the cargo holds of planes destined for a life of hell inside vivisection breeders and laboratories. Animals are kept in crates amongst everyday items and flown around the world.
Manchester International Airport is the main gateway for lab animals in the North of England, but the creatures passing through go across the UK and world. Beagle dogs, rodents and birds have all been known to be imported and exported through MIA for controversial companies including B&K Universal and Huntingdon Life Sciences.
These animals are going to spend the rest of their lives caged inside laboratories being gassed and poisoned to death; or at a breeders being forced to give birth to litter after litter of offspring until eventually killed.
