Barry Horne [17/03/52 – 05/11/01] became known around the world in 1998 when he engaged in a 68-day hunger strike, demanding that the Labour government hold a royal commission into animal testing, as had been promised in their pre-election manifesto in 1997.

The hunger strike took place while Barry was serving an 18-year sentence for animal liberation-related activities.

But he was so much more than a hunger striker—he was a father, a hardworking man, a caring partner, a hunt saboteur, and an activist who participated in some of the most iconic ALF actions, including the attempted liberation of Rocky the dolphin and the liberation of 82 beagle puppies and 26 rabbits from the notorious Interfauna (now known as MBR Acres) in 1990.

Barry’s friends, Mel Broughton, Mel Arnold, and John Curtin, will give a talk about their experiences of meeting this inspirational activist.
