Animal Activists Barricade the Bank of New York's London Offices

SHAC | 09.04.2001 23:28

Activists targeting major shareholders of animal testing firm
Huntingdon Life Sciences occupied offices inside the Bank of New
York's London offices; and over ten hours after they entered they
are still there negotiating!


Taken verbatim from the activists' press release:

NB: 'SHAC' = Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty

Huntingdon activists in office blockade

Today ( Monday 9th of April ) at 9am 10 SHAC activists barricaded themselves into
executive offices of the Bank of New York (holder of massive amount of HLS shares) on the
49th floor of Canary Wharf in London’s docklands.

At the time of writing, over 5 hours later, the activists are still barricaded in and refusing to
move. This is the second time in a week activists have managed to evade the high security
in Canary Wharf and gain access into the Bank of New York. There is no security that SHAC
activists will not overcome to save the animals inside HLS.

This is only the beginning for BNY - until they sever their links with the killers at HLS they will
continue to feel the heat!
