Animal rights protestor who targeted East Riding firm pleads guilty to breaching Asbo
An animal rights protester who sent dead animals through the post to an East Yorkshire firm has breached his Asbo.
Andrew Kirk, 51, of Bishops Park, Inverness, sent dead voles and birds to companies that breed animals for medical research. He was given the Asbo at Hull Crown Court in 2007.
The order banned him from targeting medical research facilities.
But he breached it by sending e-mails to Huntington Life Sciences Laboratory, near Cambridge.
He had previously sent a dead vole through the post to a director at B&K Universal, of Grimston, near Aldbrough, which breeds beagles and rodents for research.
They were accompanied by letters claiming the centre was a concentration and extermination camp and accused the firm of crimes against humanity, torture and death.
Under the terms of the Asbo he is banned from contacting by post, e-mail or fax B&K Universal, Covance and Huntington Life Sciences Laboratory or any other company that breeds animals for testing or tests products on animals.
He pleaded guilty to breaching the Asbo and is due to be sentenced on August 6.

“Sending dead voles and birds through the post? That's not very 'animal rights' is it?
What a silly little man.”
