Phone Calls / Letter Writing
17.05.2009 16:40
This week the animals in HLS need you to make calls to as many of HLS' customers as you can. They are very quick and simple to do, so please take time to fit some in on your lunch breaks and throughout the day if you are free. If you are out and about and you pass a phone box, remember to stop and make a call; or top up your mobile to make calls on the go. Why not print off the numbers you need and keep them with you so you remember to call.
If this is your first time, then there is nothing to worry about, just ring the numbers below and tell the person on the other end that you are calling because their company is funding horrific cruelty at HLS and you are ringing because you want it to stop. You can ask to be put through to someone in management to discuss the issue. It is a good idea to write down a few facts and points about HLS which you can research on our website so you remember what to say and don't get tongue tied.
We know that there are many supporters of our campaign who are connected to the industry in some way due to the nature of some of the information we are leaked, so if you want to take part in our phone protest but are concerned about your identity because of your job, then use a public phone box instead of your home phone and dial 141 before you make your call.

>> Sample letter:
To whom it may concern
I am writing to you because the you are one of many winners of SHAC's mad science award for carrying out cruel and unnecessary experiments at Huntingdon Life Sciences.
You would have to be mad to carry out experiments at a laboratory...
• notorious for manipulating and recording fraudulent data.
• which has been infiltrated more times than any other in the world.
• where workers were filmed pretending to have sex with animals and punching beagles in the face.
• which is heading towards bankruptcy.
• which has to water down disinfectant and reuse needles.
I invite you to visit the website: www.shac.net to find out more about the exposes at Huntingdon Life Sciences and the campaign to shut them down.
