“I CAN’T WAIT FOR SHAC TRIAL”, SAYS HEATHER
“I wish it were tomorrow. A wonderful opportunity to tell the world the truth about Huntingdon Life Sciences” (HLS), says Heather Nicholson, who along with co-leaders of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) Natasha and Greg Avery , has been on remand since May, charged with “conspiracy to blackmail”. The trial is set for June 2nd 2008 and will last 3-6 months.
SHAC campaigns for the closure of HLS which has been exposed for animal cruelty by undercover investigators many times. In 1997 a worker was filmed punching beagle puppies in the face.
As Europes largest animal testing lab HLS safety-tests pharmaceuticals, food additives and pesticides. The BMJ (3/7/04) reported that adverse drug reactions caused by animal tested drugs kill 18,000 people and cause 600,000 hospital admissions in the UK every year.
Earlier this year BBC News reported that researchers at Aberdean Uni had found a link between exposure to pesticides and Parkinson’s Disease, and that researchers at Southampton Uni had reported a link between food additives and behaviorial problems in children.
“What’s happening to us is a pattern throughout history. I know in 50-100years time people will look back in horror at how anmals are treated today and how those who fight for them are treated too. I am paying quite a high price for daring to speak out but it doesn’t come close to what the animals are going through of course”.
