June 29, 1963
A mass “walk-on” (trespass) was organized at a chemical and biological warfare facility in Porton Down, England. These weaponized agents had been researched and produced there since 1916; it’s now known as the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory. (Warning: the video is disturbing. The lyrics to the song, written in 1987, were pieced together from the text of a N.A.V.S (National Anti Vivisection Society) leaflet about using animals to test chemical weapons.)
