“One particularly successful method of capturing public attention was the renting of vacant shops in town centres for weeks at a time. A short-term lease would be agreed and then the shop would be stocked with leaflets and publications, with posters displayed in the windows to attract passers-by. The shops were staffed by a supporter who was on hand to answer questions. [...] Reports of one of the earliest shops in Wrexham described how anti-vivisection literature was handed out and how, day after day, a constant stream of visitors, both friends and foes, passed in and out of the shop asking questions, offering suggestions, raising objections or entering into debate.” HistoryActivismAnimalsAnimal WelfareAnti Vivisection Book:Campaigning Against Cruelty: The Hundred Year History of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection Source: Campaigning Against Cruelty: The Hundred Year History of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection
