04-05-2007 11:49

This ought to be worrying and not just for people involved in animal rights activism.

Covance Chandler Animals Lab Contractors Released

09-04-2007 22:08

Covance have just received planning permission to build a big animal laboratory in Chandler, Az, where hundreds of sentient creatures will be imprisoned, tortured and killed in experiments.

It is because of the plans to imprison creatures like her inside this new hell hole that we have released the information below. Every single one of these companies has blood on their hands, every single one of them is involved in the project to construct an animal lab for Covance, every single one is now a target and anyone associated with them can expect the same treatment. Direct action - because animals are dying NOW!
