Barclays & Staples Demos in DC

Defending Animal Rights Today & Tomorrow | 02.09.2008 23:21 | SHAC | Animal Liberation | World

On Friday, August 29th, Activists in DC hit the streets once again, to name and shame companies that do business with Huntingdon "Death" Sciences. Defending Animal Rights Today & Tomorrow (DARTT), paid visits to Barclays office and Staples.

At 1501 K St NW, Barclays Capital was reminded that people are disgusted with their direct support for the killing of 500 animals everyday of the week. Activists staged a loud and spirited demonstration, at some points
actually opening the doors to the lobby and chanting, "500 Animals died today, Barclays Capital is to blame!" and "Your money, Your fault!" through two megaphones! Think Barclays and the office neighbors got the point?

Barclays Capital has been on the receiving end of a global campaign in 19 countries demanding that they divest from HLS (LSR and NYSE). In DC alone, there have been several home and office demos demanding that they sell
all their shares and completely server their ties with HLS!

After Barclays, DARTT activists moved on to Staples. Staples locations in DC have seen many demonstrations. We thought they needed to be reminded that we will not stand for their shady actions of delivering office supplies in disguised vehicles inside the gates of hell, aka HLS.
Once again, activists announced that we had Office Depot Job applications for any Staples employee that wanted to make the compassionate choice and quit their job in protest of the 180,000+ animals that are mutilated and tortured every year by the hands of sick and demented technicians at Huntingdon Life Sciences.
