The Great Britain-based Seriously Ill for Medical Research recently released a list of winners of its Mad Animal Rights Awards highlighting “some of the lunatic excesses of the animal rights and antivivisection movement.” Even if they restricted themselves to the previous year, they must have had an overwhelming number of lunatic moments to cull down to just 13 awards.
