[edit] Notability

Uncaged Campaigns are noted for their campaign in the UK against vivisection and in particularly Proctor and Gamble. This has taken the form of high-profile media campaigns resulting in TV and newspaper (the UK's Daily Express) coverage. Uncaged has always maintained a peaceful protest philosophy, unlike some other anti-vivisection campaign groups.^[3] Uncaged has also garnered support from British politician Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat spokesperson on animal welfare, who states "Uncaged keeps alive the flame of hope that one day, animal experiments will seem as outdated as today sending children up chimneys seems.".^[4]
