-SMASH HLS ACTION ALERT- SHAC Shareholder Shakedown Begins
Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty | 16.12.2008 16:01
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

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

What's wrong with digging up dead bodies?

Companies do it all the time when they want to build supermarkets on old cemeteries.
Seems like a very proportionate response to the evils of animal abuse to me.
Remember the Hall family who ran Newchurch Farm that bred guinea pigs for vivisection stopped doing it only after their dead relative was dug up. So think of all the good that came from an action that caused minimal harm.

I would have hoped that anyone who visits this site would be well aware of the crap put forward by thew police.
Now, digging up dead bodies. Do we have any evidence to support this claim? Of course not. The best we have is that someone spray painted a comment onto a headstone, which was quite justified in my opinion (and that of anyone who feels that lives lost are worthy of comment.)
Even those who disagree should think of those praised for uncovering Egyptian tombs and the graves of Hitler, Stalin etc etc. Graves are nothing when compared to life. Is there really anyone on this Earth who thinks that the desecration of a headstone is more notable a crime than the pointless murder of thousands??? Or, in fact, anyone who thinks that the word of the police is to be trusted?
If so, you are foolish to say the least!

I know some people are squeamish about it, or think it was immoral or tactically bad, but it's not police propaganda, it really happened.
Personally I don't have a problem with it, although I know others do.
What *is* police propaganda is that the people currently doing time for "conspiracy to blackmail" for the campaign to close down the guinea-pig farm were responsible for the grave-digging. They weren't, and their guilty plea was based on the understanding that they didn't do it. Yet the papers all misrepresent them as grave-diggers, probably deliberately, but maybe just incompetence and regurgitating police propaganda.

There is no point in this continual self delusion - Gladys Hammond was the single biggest mistake made by AR and we are all still paying for it.
