Sad news

Sadly, Pam Kinnunen passed away on Sunday 17th August following a battle against cancer.  Pam will be remembered for her energy, warmth, sense of humour, positive approach to life and her unlimited compassion for animals and people.  Amongst many other things, fellow campaigners will remember her persistence at attending and helping coordinate weekly demos against NIMR animal lab in Mill Hill and her enthusiasm at a number of vegan food fairs in central London. She also took in a number of rescued cats and attended lots of other demos and did street collections.

Pam had a huge number of talents, and was particularly good at getting important letters published in newspapers to spread the animal rights message.

She was an inspiration and will be missed by many.

If any of you knew Pam and would like to send a card, these can be addressed to her husband, Antti Kinnunen, 50 Purley Avenue, London NW2 1SB.

Update: 3rd September 2008. Here is a presentation that her husband, Antti has put together in memory of Pam.
