HLS site demos

SHAC | 10.10.2010 12:02 | SHAC | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Repression | Cambridge

On 21st and 22nd October 2010 there will be demonstrations at both laboratories.

Huntingdon Life Sciences are a contract testing laboratory who torture 500 animals to death every single day in experiments for everything from GM foods to artificial sweeteners, from pesticides to fridge coolants. They also have some very unpleasant bedfellows Shell, Union Carbide, Bayer, Roche, Cargill.....the list is extensive all have paid for sentient beings to suffer immeasurably and die in their own blood, terror and vomit at HLS.

On the 21st and 22nd October 2010 the second round of sentencing of SHAC activists will take place in Winchester and the demonstrations are planned at the gates of HLS to make it very clear that the animal rights movement will not abandon those imprisoned behind the gates and that whatever they do to our freinds in court that we will continue to protest against the atrocities carried out daily at Wooley and Occold.

Anti repression and environmental activists, all activists (with the obvious exception of facists) in fact are most welcome.

21st October 2010 will be at HLS Occold 12.00-18.00. This is off the beaten track but look for Occold on the map and the lab is signposted. The nearest town is Eye.

22nd October 2010 will be at HLS Wooley 12.00-18.00. This is right by the A1 take the first left northbound after the A14/A1 roundabout.

Please note at both labs you will need to park at some distance away, that both demos have been arranged with the police for very good reasons.

The mobile number for both days is 07891 639803.

If the sentencing goes on until Monday there will be more demonstrations then at a site to be announced.

Don't bother

From someone who went to these mobile demos in the past I would say don't bother. You will be sent driving miles to locations in the middle of nowhere. SHAC is a failed campaign. Their aggressive style has failed and has made the animal right community hated. Vivisection is rising year on year despite the claims of SHAC. Outreach and a change in law is where we will 'win'.

SHAC can do without the attention - that will be 12 jailed and the last 6 all pleaded guilty, Time for others to take the lead.

Attention to the trials

Missing the point

10.10.2010 19:05

These are NOT mobile demos for a start. The intention is to stay outside the gates from 12.00-18.00 people can come and go as they wish or when they can.
Re others leading well go on then what is stopping you? Actually leaders are a bad idea this is just what some of us are doing on those dates. Don't want to support? Fine your decision no-one is forcing you to do anything after all!

Lynn Sawyer

Other regional demos planned as well.

11.10.2010 00:36

There will also be regional demos at Ciba Vision (Novartis) Hedge End, Southampton. Sandoz (Novartis) Bordon, Hampshire, Astra Zenica, Brixham, Devon, High Gate Farm ,Lincolnshire, Bayer and BMS in Uxbridge and it's looking like loads of other sites as well. Travel to HLS or Winchester if you can but if not pick a local target and get busy.

Andy Robbins

Novartis, AZ, GSK, BMS and Bayer demos

11.10.2010 00:47

There will also be regional demos against HLS on the 21st and 22nd (and maybe the monday) for those who can't make it to HLS or want to do something in the time they waste waiting around in Winchester (their are two Novartis sites near by). Watch this space......................

Better outside the court

11.10.2010 07:44

Let them hear your anger - let them know their sacrifice isn't in vain!

Solidarity

outside the labs

11.10.2010 08:20

I am sure that the activists due in court for them days would rather have you out there on protests outside the labs rather than wasting your time, money and effect outside the court.
I'm sure they know the solidarity you all have for them and what better way to show it more to continue their fight that they had taken away from them by spending your day at the labs.

See you all there !

Activist

No - outside the court - disrupt their press setpiece

11.10.2010 08:36

The filth will be outside crowing about the sentences and telling the world that SHAC is over. We need to show them that isn't the case!

I'll be outside the court. The labs will be there the next day.

Disruptor

@ disruptor

11.10.2010 09:58

So you will do exactly the opposite of what the defendants want then? I am sure they will be eternally grateful to you for giving the state an excuse for giving out greater sentences. All in all this is not your future at stake. By all means do what you think is for the best but be very careful to note that angry protests outside the court whilst sentencing is taking place will do nothing but help the police and media hysteria.
This is exactly why people are going to HLS and other sites instead to highlight the evil of HLS and to show solidarity with the defendants.

Fuck off

11.10.2010 14:05

Nobody who cares about the rights of the animals and the fight for them gives a toss about SHAC anymore.

These bastards have caused us so much aggro over the past ten years and the cause of AR has been done so much damage by them and their little cult. I have no interest in showing support for them, the idiots who are being sent down or their followers.

The last straw for me was the details that was leaked over the house in France and the funding for it, I hope SHAC, its leaders (non hierarchical - LOL !) and those still stupid enough to keep funding it get the wake up call they need very soon.

For the animals

That settels it....whatever Lyn says.....

11.10.2010 16:51

Lyn by what fantasied authority or pretend friendship do you presume to speak for the defendants?

They have pleaded guilty to get maximum discount - lawful protests outside a court and visible sportive presence in the public gallery cannot affect or influence this process.

do the oposite

To clarify

12.10.2010 16:27

I don't want anyone to do anything just because I say so what bloody nonsense. By the way putting everything in block capitals just makes you look like a nutter. Now then the defendants cannot come on here and it is up to them really what happens I would ask people to do what they want. I have spoken to others and there are mixed feelings regarding demos at the court from those being sentenced so people should do what they feel is right. I do have to concede to disruptor that s/he may have a good point, my concern was that certainly at least one person is concerned about this and that those going to court on those days are at the centre of this, it is their wishes which are paramount. My personal opinion is that we will only be able to see how this is effective or not with himdsight. If it was me I would like demos outside the court but everyone is different. I just ask that the wishes of all the defendants are respected. Whatever happens there should be some good demos on those days and we should continue fighting.
