Barry Horne (1952-November 5, 2001) was a British animal rights activist who died of liver failure in Ronkswood Hospital, Worcester in November 2001, following a series of four hunger strikes while serving an 18-year sentence for planting incendiary devices. Horne said his aim was to persuade the British government to hold a public inquiry into animal-testing practices in the UK, something the Labour Party had promised to do when it came to power in 1997.
