Thank you to everyone who recently took part in the Bank Of New York alert. Protests continue in the city of London against this company and your letters help add weight to our message.

Dear [insert name]

It has come to my attention that your company is the third 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

John Peel... you are a moron. Haven't you got something productive to be doing like viewing cctv images and dna databases?

Please Excuse Me I'm Only A Little Boy Still At School

I'm a silly little Schoolboy who knows F all about F all. I'm so retarded I can't think straight, of anything better to do than post stupid, ignorant, uninformed comments here.

My New Years resolution? I hope I can become an adult.

Never say never John.

By the way, compost can you dig it?

Ha ha!

They're guilty!

NO

Sorry PC John Peel, they have been 'found' guilty by a corrupt system that makes it's own rules up to protect those who profit from animal cruelty. That does not make them guilty, it makes me ashamed to be British.

Comfort

23.12.2008 18:49

You may well find some comfort in that Anon but the jury deliberated for over 33 hours - furthermore, not everyone was found guilty, something of a surprise for a system that is 'corrupt'. As reported, one juror was so frightened of the accused they would not go back into court. These are the type of people you support and (perhaps) associate with - disturbed, angry individuals who cannot see beyond the right of their cause and the damage it does to innocent individuals.

Not anon


Why did the juror not want to appear?

23.12.2008 19:27

The way I read it, the juror who refused to appear did so because they were so ashamed to be associated with the verdict they had jointly decided. The media reports are deliberately vague, presumably hoping people will jump to conclusions. The whole prosecution was clearly being guided by the shadowy hand of the pharmaceutical industry and their funny handshakes with their pals in the government, police and judiciary.

It was a very vague case of guilt by association that will have a great impact on all campaigns, not just animal rights. Hopefully the fallout from this verdict will kick off worse trouble for Huntingdon Life Sciences in the future.

Never forget the punched beagles and all the other animals that are tortured in HLS every day.

Comfort??

23.12.2008 19:28

I am not looking for comfort, not anon (but you are anonymouse aren't you?). And do not assume whom I 'associate' with. Take a look at the crimes and the sentances. AR people get longer sentances than murderers of children, paedophiles etc. Are you intelligent enought to realise why?? Probably not cos you are probably a copper and they don't even need a GCSE to get a job do they!

(vested interests, rich and greedy biotech companies, hand in glove with Government, that enough clues for you?)
