SHAC National March & Rally 2007


Saturday 26th April 2008, 11am - 5pm
SHAC UK National March & Demo
@ Novartis Primate Research Centre, Horsham,West Sussex

Novartis is also one of HLS's largest customers, most notorious for theXenotransplantation scandal back in 2000. The research was conducted by abiotechnology company, Imutran Ltd, which is a subsidiary of the multinational drug firm Novartis Pharma AG, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge. The experiments took place at the controversial Huntingdon Life Sciences laboratories.

See:  http://www.shac.net/HLS/exposed/xeno.html and  http://www.xenodiaries.org/summary.htm for more information.

It is now nearly a year since the massive police raids against us, which was ablatant attempt to shut down the SHAC campaign - and it has failed miserably. We will march a short way from the town centre to Novartis and hold ademonstration there. This is to show the mass opposition to what they are doingboth in their own facility and at Huntingdon. Novartis really don't want thisdemo to go ahead; in fact they sought to vary their injunction in the highcourt to have national protests banned at Novartis. They spent thousands ofpounds and lost. The judge said that this demo will go ahead. So we should allstand proud outside and let Novartis know that the global animal rightsmovement isn't going away and that we will carry on the fight for the animals.

This is a very important demo to show our disgust against Novartis and HLS. Themarch is a great opportunity to let the people of Horsham know that primate andguinea pig research is going on there.

Meet at Horsham Park, Horsham, West Sussex.
