Austria is a country with great success of animal movement has made significant achievements, including a ban on fur farms in its territory, the ban on battery cages for chickens and a ban on animal circuses. However, some do not seem to like this and since 2008 a number of people are being criminalized for granted terrorist activity, although no date has found no evidence of illegal activity, despite intense police surveillance of activists who undergo years.
Ambassador talked to us and said that in Austria the trend of opinion is in favor of higher levels of protection for animals, and activists in his country have great sympathy from society. Regarding the trial said he expects justice. Finally, we delivered a letter to the ambassador of where we stand in solidarity with activists accused and ask for their freedom.
