Animal rights activists took the fight against animal testing to the streets of Blackpool on Friday with a protest outside a town centre store.
Protestors handed out leaflets outside the Vodafone store on Church Street.
"We will continue to spread the message that animal experimentation is counterproductive; not only does it harm animals, it also hinders medical progress by producing results that turn out to be wrong in humans," said campaigner, Keith Richardson from the Speak campaign.
Vodafone was chosen because the firm's charitable arm, the Vodafone Foundation, has made donations to Oxford University, which is building a new animal testing lab.
