It can't be comfortable doing business in a compound where everyone knows what you're up to, but you don't know if they hate you or not. Moreover the whole neighbourhood have been informed a couple of times about Bayers involvement with HLS. This day brought more of the same as activists put up posters and stickers and put leaflets in mailboxes around Staffanstorp. Focus is on Bayer now and hopefully people in the neighbourhood will spread the word and discourage others from working at the company. This is usually what happens when people find out you're paying for animal torture and death.

As slogans were chanted through megaphones and all the people leaving were informed about Bayers senseless slaughter cops started to catch up. Some of them had gathered at Bayers office inside the compound, since this is the usual place for protests. Others had parked at a nearby gas station to keep an eye on things. However, they just said everything with the demo was in order (of course it was!) and continued to put even more shame on Bayer by just being there. As the last workers left the area activists called it a day and promised to return to continue to name and shame one of HLS biggest customers.

This demo was, in every way held in solidarity with the UK SHAC7. As injustice finds new targets to drag through trouble we will fight even harder to stop it. Until every animal, non-human and human can live free we will continue our struggle.

Respect and compassion have no borders - unite against all animal abuse!
