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!
