-SMASH HLS ACTION ALERT- SHAC Shareholder Shakedown Begins

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty | 16.12.2008 16:01

SHAC Shareholder Shakedown Begins


Over the next few alerts we will be focusing our energy on the shareholders of Huntingdon Life Sciences. There are about 60 companies who hold over 2 million shares in Huntingdon and we need your help to get rid of them. You can do this by taking part in these alerts and if you can, attending shareholder protests in London (contact  info@shac.net for info on upcoming demos). Every letter helps, and these alerts have proved to be an effective tool in the campaign so far.

HLS trade their shares under the name LSR, so please refer to this in your letters. Remember that all these shareholders profit from the misery and torture at HLS and that we are calling on them to take an ethical stance and drop their shares.

In this alert we will provide a sample letter and details of where to send them, but feel free to write your own letters. You can find out more about the exposes of HLS by visiting www.shac.net/HLS/exposed.html

Sample E-mail
============

Dear [insert name]

It has come to my attention that your company is the second largest shareholder in Huntingdon Life Sciences, who trade under the ticker symbol LSR.

You may not be aware but HLS are the worlds most exposed and notorious animal testing facility. They were caught on film punching beagle puppies in the face, and cutting open primates without any anesthetic. If you are in any doubt about what goes on inside the secret labs of HLS, then please read in their own words what workers have to say and see footage filmed inside the lab: www.shac.net/HLS/exposed/inside_hls/Inside_HLS_Full_Report.html

I am sure you will agree that what goes on inside HLS is shameful. You should also be aware that HLS have been shown on many occasions to falsify data. Only last year an employee filed a lawsuit against HLS following being sacked after he refused to falsify data.

I urge you not to side and profit from the despicable cruelty at HLS. Please turn your back on animal cruelty, shoddy work and law breaking.

Please get rid of your shares in this criminal company.

Thank you for your time

[insert name]
