Another Regular Protest at Novartis

Tuesday, 20th January






We turned up at the torture centre for animals in Horsham belonging to Novartis at around 11.30 am to be greeted by more than the usual number of police. Very strange we thought. Whats happening here. It turns out that it must of been a very quiet day for catching the real criminals. The ones inside Novartis and HLS who routinely torture all sorts of animals just so they can earn their blood money.
Money tainted with the knowledge that 500+ animals die every single day at HLS and an unknown number on this site just so that the big Pharma companies can sell their wares.

Due to the draconian injunction against SHAC we could only use the megaphone for one period of 5mins. No problem to us. When the time on the megaphone was up we just carried on making more noise than ever which continued throughout the demo including when the much maligned tried to serve a copy of their very expensive injunction on one of the new protestors.

While we were there vans belonging to companies who deal with HLS came out of the gates. One of which is known to carry hazardous materials to and from HLS. Could this be further evidence that animal torture happens inside the Horsham site.
A large number of cars driving past sounded the horns on their cars and gave us the thumbs up indicating that more and more people are coming over to support SHAC because of their disgust at the actions of Novartis and HLS.

Each time we turn up we grow stronger and stronger both in ourselves and in the support we receive form members of the public. We are more determined than ever to see an end to all of the animal torture carried out at HLS and to see the people who carry the vile tests brought to justice.
