The women attended several vivisections at University College London, and in 1903 their description of the vivisection of a dog there led to a scandal when they accused the researchers of having performed the procedure without adequate anaesthesia. The controversy, which became known as the Brown Dog affair, lasted seven years and led to rioting in London by medical students, who were angered by the description of their work.Lind af Hageby spent the rest of her life writing and speaking about animal protection, and about the link between feminism and vegetarianism. A skilled orator, she broke a record in 1913 for the number of words spoken during a trial, when she spoke 210,000 words and asked 20,000 questions during an unsuccessful libel suit she brought against the Pall Mall Gazette, which had criticized her campaigns. This was at a time when women could not be admitted as lawyers in the UK. The Nation called her testimony "the most brilliant piece of advocacy that the Bar has known since the day of Russell, though it was entirely conducted by a woman."She became a British citizen in 1912, and for several decades worked together with a small group of upper-class women – suffragettes, feminists and animal advocates – who sought to challenge the largely male medical establishment's attitude towards women and nonhuman animals.. }
