URGENT ACTION REMINDER
February 27, 2001


This coming Tuesday participate in a massive floodnet action with activists
from around the world to bring down Huntingdon Life Sciences's web site.
Activists participating in this electronic civil disobedience will learn on
Tuesay morning the location of the webpage that will enable them to activate
the floodnet program from their computers and will begin to send a barage of
download requests over and over again effectively shutting down this mode of
communication for HLS.

The Animal Liberation Internet Tactical Response Network has put together
the action in support of the commitment made by the animal rights movement
to see HLS shut down. Visit the AL-TIRN site  http://floodnet.webjump.com for
more information on how to use floodnet in preparation for Tuesday's action.

Huntingdon Life Sciences, one of the world’s largest and most notorious
animal testing centers, has been the subject of a relentless campaign after
it was exposed in five undercover investigations showing horrific animal
cruelty and sloppy fraudulent science. The investigations revealed workers
maliciously punching beagle puppies in the face, dissecting a live monkey,
transplanting a frozen pig heart into an otherwise healthy baboon thereby
killing the animal, taking drugs and drinking at work, and falsifying
scientific data, procedures, and animal welfare standards. Stop Huntingdon
Animal Cruelty has convinced a large number of shareholders and customers of
HLS into dropping their support of the company. The results have been
all-time low worker morale, shattered customer confidence, and crisis level
shareprices that almost lead HLS into foreclosure less than one month ago.

Keep visiting  http://www.shac.net for more details of the upcoming action.

For this action to be a success a high-level of participation is needed.
PLEASE circulate this action reminder to email lists and activists
worldwide. Participating on this action and joining the international effort
to close HLS means participating in making history. By closing HLS the
movement will be doing more than simply saving 180,000 animals annually, we
will be hammering a signficant nail into the coffin of the vivisection
industry.
