Keith Mann is a British animal-rights campaigner, believed to be a senior Animal Liberation Front activist. He was first jailed in 1992 in connection with an attack on the home of a fox hunter. In 1994, he was sentenced to 14 years in jail for possession of explosive substances, incitement, criminal damage, and escape from custody. The Guardian has described his activites as a "terrorist-style sabotage campaign against the meat industry." [1]

Mann, who lives in Poole, Dorset, was released on parole, but was jailed again in April 2005 after raiding a research laboratory and removing 695 caged mice, who were being used to test botulinum toxin, which is used in Botox. The testing company said their tests were for a medicinal product called Dysport, made by pharmaceutical manufacturer Ipsen Biopharm. Mann said documents he removed from the laboratory showed the tests were for cosmetic purposes. Animal testing for cosmetic purposes is illegal in Britain.
