SHOCKING TESTS EXPOSED INSIDE HUNTINGDON LIFE SCIENCES UK LAB.
Watch the video: www.savetheprimates.org
Today a groundbreaking new documentary revealing the all too visible distress that lab primates face on a daily basis is revealed by Animal Defenders International (ADI). The ‘Save The Primates’ investigation exposes every aspect of the global primate trade across three continents, including one of Europe’s largest testing facilities – Huntingdon Life Sciences in Cambridgeshire.
The ADI video ‘Save The Primates’ reveals:
In South America owl monkeys scream as they are torn from the trees of the rainforest and from their families to be taken for malaria experiments in Colombia.
In Asia, monkeys in rusting, collapsing cages desperately shake their tiny prisons at a monkey supplier in Vietnam that has been approved by the UK Home Office, and in one year, supplied almost 500 monkeys to HLS.
In the UK, the most vivid insight ever of primates in commercial testing has been caught on film at Huntingdon Life Sciences in Cambridgeshire, with struggling monkeys strapped into chairs and forced to inhale products. Many are housed in 1 cubic metre cages and then taken out to be held down by workers as tubes are forced down their throats.
HLS in Cambridgeshire is a major contract testing operation for multi-national product brands which can hold up to 550 monkeys at a time. During the one-year ADI undercover investigation, 217 monkeys were killed in just five studies.
The new ‘Save the Primates’ report and investigation are part of a never-before-attempted comprehensive study linking primate research and the international primate trade to the alternatives that are now available.

Otherwise go to
The 20 minute documentary is pretty good to be fair, exposes other vivisection breeders abroad, namely a breeder/holding centre in France that is currently acting as the new primate holding centre for HLS and other labs (given that it's the nearest after the last primate holding/breeder centre closed in the UK -
until all are free
nice one NAVS!

Let's hope the grassroots movement can build on this and work in tandem with the nationals towards the same goals.
Brian Cass and Huntingdon Life Sciences' new round of troubles are only just beginning!

ACTION ALERT FROM SHAC MAILOUT
04.02.2009 22:27
TAKE ACTION NOW!
Animal Defenders International have just published a report and film exposing
every aspect of the vivisection primate trade across three continents
including sending a worker undercover inside Huntingdon Life Sciences.
They have revealed primates being torn from the wild and placed into tiny
prisons in Vietnam, to then endure a thirty hour journey in a restrictive cage
arriving at Huntingdon Life Sciences in the dead of night to undergo horrific
experiments.
The undercover worker filmed monkeys strapped in to chairs and forced to
inhale products. Many were left in one cubic metre cages and then taken
out to be held down by workers as tubes were forced down their throats.
Primates inside HLS are living in cramped, dirty baron cages. The
psychological damage inflicted on these innocent beings lead them to chew
their own fingersand toes off the the bone; and one primate's face became
so injured she had to be force fed.
During the year long ADI investigation 217 primates were killed in just five
studies for customers including GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), AstraZeneca and the
MoD.
To view the ADI report and view the video footage shot inside HLS, visit:
After the 1997 expose when HLS workers were filmed abusing animals GSK and
AstraZeneca both dropped HLS. They soon went back to them when Brian Cass
promised to turn the company around, but said if it ever happened again they
would not use HLS to contract experiments. We all know this kind of thing is
going on every day inside HLS, but now we have up to date footage from inside
HLS during 2008.
Please contact GSK & AstraZeneca and ask them to stop contracting experiments
at HLS and ask them to look at the undercover footage and report written by
the Animal Defenders International. There is a sample email below with
details on who to write to.
Do not let these animals die in vain; now is the time to take action. We must
stand up and fight against animal cruelty, we urge everyone who can to attend
our next national protest in London on the 27th of february where we will
protest against HLS's financial backers. For more info see:

SAMPLE LETTER
To whom it may concern
I am writing to you regarding a recent investigation carried out by the Animal
Defenders International (ADI). They sent an undercover worker into HLS to work
in the primate unit during 2007 and 2008.
The undercover investigator witnessed five studies including one sponsored by
your company.
The primates in HLS are living in dirty baron cages and are being captured in
the wild having to endure 30 hour journeys in cramped conditions. The living
conditions are having serious psychological effects on the primates leading
them to self harm, they are chewing their own fingers and toes off and one
primate's face became so injured she had to be force fed.
All this cruelty has been caught on camera and HLS is guilty of yet more
cruelty, now being exposed for the seventh time in ten years. HLS have also
been caught out carrying experiments over the severity limit of their licence
- yet more law breaking in the worlds most notorious laboratory.
As you are aware this is not the first time HLS have been caught out, and your
company has given them too many chances, it is now time to turn your back on
criminality and the disgusting violence inside HLS.
In light of this recent investigation I am calling on you to halt all
contracts with HLS with immediate effect.

National Rally for Animals in Laboratories
08.02.2009 22:05
Following a march from Hyde Park through the centre of London, where we intend to take the anti-vivisection message to large numbers of shoppers, tourists and residents, we will hold a rally at Parliament to protest against the government’s pro-vivisection policies.
Please keep the day free and start planning transport now.
Full details at
Meanwhile don't forget the SHAC City Shakedown on Friday 27th February from noon.
This is a protest in the heart of London and at the heart of animal abuse. Without the trading of HLS' stocks and shares, and without shareholders, HLS would cease to exist.
