On Tuesday 9 September, activists paid a nighttime visit to John
Richardson, Director of Abbott Labs. When John peeked through his
peephole, he was staring straight at a large banner depicting images of
what goes on behind closed doors at HLS and read 'Your Business profits from the Murder of 500 Animals per day!'

"Drop HLS." Activists chanted with bullhorns through the quiet upscale Georgetown neighborhood to let his neighbors know who he is and what his company profits from! Within 10 minutes, DC's Metropolitan Police Department was on the scene in full force. The police cut off and pulled guns on unarmed activists as they were walking away. The activists were only carrying signs and bullhorns, but the police slammed their heads into the concrete, put their knees into the backs of activists and handcuffed them.
All in all, there were approximately 15 police officers at the scene. They told the activists that there was a reported break-in and they were investigating it. Of course there was NO break-in and police had to let the activists go"with a warning," despite their efforts to put activists in jail.
Activists over-heard police saying, "We should just lock them up...but
you have to be careful, they are organized and this might come back to
bite us." That's right! DC activists have the ACLU on their side and a
legal team to back them!
