“I CAN’T WAIT FOR SHAC TRIAL”, SAYS HEATHER

“I wish it were tomorrow. A wonderful opportunity to tell the world the truth about Huntingdon Life Sciences” (HLS), says Heather Nicholson, who along with co-leaders of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) Natasha and Greg Avery , has been on remand since May,2007 charged with “conspiracy to blackmail”. The trial is set for September 29th 2008 and will last 3-6 months.

SHAC campaigns for the closure of HLS which has been exposed for animal cruelty by undercover investigators many times. In 1997 a worker was filmed punching beagle puppies in the face.

“What’s happening to us is a pattern throughout history. I know in 50-100years time people will look back in horror at how animals are treated today and how those who fight for them are treated too. I am paying quite a high price for daring to speak out but it doesn’t come close to what the animals are going through of course”.

"We will put our case forward forcefully and shame the abusers"
