Here are the details of what Sequani Limited do to animals, who supports them and what YOU can do about it ...

SEQUANI LIMITED, BROMYARD ROAD, LEDBURY. HEREFORDSHIRE. HR8 1LH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sequani Limited are a Contract Research Organisation (CRO) previously named Toxicol Laboratories England and Quintiles UK and have been in existance in Ledbury since the early 1970s.

Sequani Limited practice acute toxicity tests, reproduction toxicology tests, carcinogenicity tests and repeat dose toxicology tests on live animals.

The animal test subjects include beagle dogs, rabbits, genetically stunted pigs known as 'minipigs', transgenic mice, rats and guinea pigs.

Never seeing the sunshine, breathing fresh air or feeling the grass under their feet, these animals are born into a life of imprisonment, suffering and death at the hands of the greedy biotech industry.

Below are detailed descriptions of the tests that this company performs.

Acute Toxicity Tests: Acute toxicity studies in mammals are conducted to measure a chemical’s capacity to cause harm or death with a single dose. Chemicals are administered to animals in extremely high doses via at least two of the following routes:

• Oral –– chemicals are pumped directly into the animal’s stomach via a force-feeding tube or syringe.
• Skin –– chemicals are painted onto the shaved and abraded skin on the animal’s back.
• Inhalation –– animals are either confined in an inhalation chamber or restrained with a breathing apparatus fixed over their mouths.

Acute toxicity studies inflict hideous suffering on animals, who may endure severe abdominal pain; diarrhea; bleeding from the nose, mouth and genitals; convulsions; seizures and paralysis before they are poisoned to death or killed by the experimenter.

Reproduction Toxicology: Reproductive toxicity studies in mammals are conducted to measure a chemical’s effects on reproductive organs and fertility. Such tests are based on a repeated dose toxicity study in rodents, during which animals are examined for changes in sexual behaviour, sperm and egg production and fertilisation, development in the uterus and after birth, and hormonal activity. At the conclusion of the study the animal’s genitals and reproductive organs are often removed for further study. Animals in reproductive toxicity studies suffer not only from the toxic effects of the chemical under investigation, but also as a result of frequent and often stressful handling, restraint and inhumane force-feeding practices.

Carcinogenicity tests: Carcinogenicity studies are conducted to measure a chemical’s cancer-causing potential following lifelong exposure. Carcinogenicity studies call for the use of both rats and mice and can kill more than 800 animals per test. Animals in these studies are exposed to toxic chemicals for their entire lives through their food, their skin or the air they breathe.

Carcinogenicity studies can go on for up to five years, during which animals can endure extended suffering from chemical- poisoning as their bodies are overcome by tumours and cancerous growths.

Repeat dose Toxicology: Repeated dose toxicity studies expose animals to repeated low doses of chemicals for one to three months to measure the effects of multiple chemical exposures on organs such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, heart and nervous system. Chemicals are usually force-fed to animals orally, although skin and inhalation routes are also used. These studies are typically conducted using two different species of animal, one rodent (rat, mouse, etc.) and one nonrodent (usually dogs). Repeated dose studies are highly stressful and cruel, as animals are subjected to frequent handling, restraint and inhumane force-feeding practices, in addition to suffering the toxic effects of the chemical under investigation. The animals can suffer excessive salivation, anaemia, muscle weakness, hair loss, internal organ damage, pilo-erection (hair standing on end), vomiting (in dogs), diarrhoea, coma and even death.

If you are interested in campaigning against Sequani laboratories; be it leafletting and helping to inform the public, writing letters, holding stalls and fundraising, attending the protests outside the lab or joining the protests at the premises of companies that supply the lab, please get in touch.

FIGHT BACK FOR THE ANIMALS!
--------------------------------------
Please write to, email or phone the companies listed on this page and ask them (politely) to consider withdrawing their business association with Sequani Ltd on ethical, moral and compassionate grounds.

INFORMATION AS A WEAPON
------------------------------------
Because of the highly paranoid and secretive nature of Sequani Ltd, other companies that are involved with them may not be fully aware of what goes on behind Sequanis closed doors ... It's time to LET THEM KNOW! Five companies that have severed their ties with Sequani said they didn't have a clue what went on there!

Remember that every email sent, every letter written and every phone call made to these companies is in itself an extremely effective way to protest!

TAKING PRECAUTIONS
----------------------------
Use the prefix 141 before ringing these companies if you want your anonymity kept intact, better still, use a public phone box and the prefix. More than two emails can be classed as harassment (depending on what you say in the mail) try and use different email accounts or you could use a computer in a public library.

THEIR ONLY HOPE - YOU!
-------------------------------
You are the laboratory animals last and only hope. They sit in cages and pens waiting for that terrifying moment when the vivisectors come for them to poison them and tear them apart. We cannot fail them. If you care about the animals please get on to these companies right away.

We can safely forget about government and authority lending a helping hand to aid those that are suffering and dying at the hands of big business.

Only together, can we stop or at least slow the murder rate down at Sequani limited and every other animal torturing centre and make life very uncomfortable and costworthy for the animal abusers. Please, Just Do It.



COMPANIES THAT HAVE SEVERED THEIR BUSINESS TIES WITH SEQUANI LABS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CRYOSERVICE LIMITED:Based in Worcester - Sequani used to have cryogenic gases delivered by Cryoservice. Cryoservice decided it was time to back off once the local AR group got on their backs! CryoService limited ditched Sequani 26/10/03

THE JORDANS GROUP OF COMPANIES:Based in Bristol - Sequani (Toxicol and Quintiles) had all of their filthy company offices registered with Jordans since 1975. Jordans Booted them out from their Bristol address when they found out what they did to animals! The Jordans Group of Companies limited ditched Sequani 10/11/03

ANC INTERNATIONAL:Based in Staffordshire - Courier service that had served the animal molestors Sequani for quite some time. When ANC found out what these people did to animals they immediately severed their business ties with them. ANC International limited ditched Sequani 12/03/04

B & E HAMBLION HAULAGE LIMITED:Based in Colchester - Haulage company that were seen dealing with the animal molestors at Sequani. After an 'AR friendly' reporter put them in a local essex newspaper for helping supply the vivisection industry they severed all business ties with Sequani! B & E Hamblion haulage limited ditched Sequani 19/03/04

EDMUNDSON ELECTRICAL:Based in Hereford - After a half an hour demo explaining the lies of the vivisection industry outside Edmundsons business premises they decided to do the right thing by the animals and sever their ties there and then with the animal torturers! Edmundson Electrical limited ditched Sequani 19/04/04

HEREFORD.UK.COM:Based in Hereford - Although not a supplier of Sequani, hereford.uk.com regularly posted ads on their site for job vacancies at the labs. After being warned of legal demos against them and told of what went on inside Sequani they assured us that no more ads for the animal torturers would be posted on their website! hereford.uk.com stopped advertising jobs on offer at Sequani 21/04/04

HENDY GROUP LTD:Based in Hampshire - Hendy Group ltd own AVH (vehicle) rentals ltd in Hereford. AVH were busy doing business with Sequani and making of themselves a name to be ashamed of. After the local AR group held a couple of demos at AVH Hereford they saw the sense in severing the ties with Sequani. Being attached to an animal torturing company just doesn't pay! Hendy group limited ditched Sequani 04/05/04

SOVEREIGN COURIERS LIMITED:Based in Hagley, Worcestershire - When Sovereign learnt about the nature of Sequani limited and what hell they put animals through, they were appauled and immediately severed all business links with this disgusting animal torturing company!

THE ALICE OTTLEY SCHOOL IN WORCESTER.
-------------------------------------------------------

Dr Sue Hughes is a senior scientist at Sequani animal testing labs. When she has not been busy maiming and killing animals at her place of work, one of her past voluntary activities has included being involved with Riding for the Disabled, quite ironic really when you consider how many times she will have deliberately caused individual animals to 'become disabled'.

One of her pastimes is skiing paid for with the blood money that she earns torturing, maiming and murdering animals. Dr Sue Hughes is also on the council for a Worcester school for Girls, now, we think it is bang out of order to have a sick vivisector sitting in council within an establishment that is supposed to be guiding children in the right direction in life. Many parents would not be too happy to know that such a monster is helping to carve their kids futures.

Below are the details of how to get in touch and protest to the school in question and get this sicko kicked from the school council for the benefit of those innocent children who would be horrified to watch this woman at 'work'.

Whenever the Alice Ottley school is having an open day or a school event open to parents activists will be there to expose the horror of vivisection and to air the skeletons in Alice Ottleys closet ...
