Keith Mann was a legendary activist who had been fighting for animals since the early 1980s.
Mann was involved in many forms of activism. He was a public speaker, a campaigner, an author, and participated in direct action.
He was arrested in 1991 for burning multiple slaughterhouses as a member of the Animal Liberation Front. He escaped police and went on the run for ten months before being captured. He eventually served seven years in prison.
He served another six months in prison after confronting the director of a company tied to vivisection in court saying “your trouble has only just started, you will need to look under your bed.”
Mann was also involved in the infamous SHAC campaign, focusing on the airlines that allowed animals to be transported for vivisection.
Rest in power.
