“ We never give in and we always win.”
<strong>Stop</strong> <strong>Huntingdon</strong> <strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Cruelty</strong><br />
March against<br />
the Money Men<br />
of bankers coming to their office windows to see what was going on.<br />
This route took us through the very heart of the City and took nearly<br />
1hour 20 minutes for us to complete.<br />
Along the way via the megaphone all the companies that have dumped<br />
HLS were pointed out. Slowly, surely and noisily we made our way to<br />
America Square where HLS market maker Cantor Fitzgerald are based.<br />
The only thing is though Cantor Fitzgerald have stopped dealing with<br />
HLS and they have now decamped and fled to Canary Wharf...bloody<br />
typical!<br />
On April 28th during World Week for Lab <strong>Animal</strong>s, <strong>SHAC</strong><br />
held a march through the City of London to get the message<br />
across that to invest in HLS is financial madness. The only<br />
problem was that in January when we planned this demo<br />
there were 15 targets in the City of London yet as we approached<br />
April 28th these targets started to rapidly<br />
disappear with HLS being kicked off the Over the Counter<br />
Bulletin Board, and then the day before the March being<br />
kicked off the Pink Sheets. What timing!<br />
With this happy predicament we decided to keep the march<br />
in the City but afterwards split into 4 teams and did demos<br />
at HLS customers. About 100 of us moved off on the start of<br />
the march in Finsbury Square. We made our way along Moorgate,<br />
London Wall, Bishopsgate and Leadenhall bringing the<br />
traffic and the office workers to a standstill with hundreds<br />
World Week for<br />
April 28th.<br />
4 Teams -<br />
Lots of demos<br />
Lab <strong>Animal</strong>s<br />
After the March and a rousing speech from Keith Mann at the<br />
end, minibuses were driven into America Square and activists<br />
split into 4 teams. These demos were highly successful<br />
and we are hoping to do the same on Friday 16th June (see<br />
back cover for details). It was so good to encompass in one<br />
day a March in the City against HLS financially then to go on<br />
afterwards and hold demos against some of <strong>Huntingdon</strong>’s<br />
largest customers and with good numbers too, GlaxoSmith-<br />
Kline’s worldwide headquarters seeing 30 activists outside<br />
until well after 6-30pm.<br />
All the demos were loud and visual, again ramming home the<br />
message that if you deal with HLS then the whole world will<br />
know about it. Below is a brief outline of which team went<br />
where. After the demo, lifts were given back into London or<br />
to a main line train station. We finished the day coming out<br />
of London at 10pm tired but happy that we had brought<br />
the disgusting <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences to thousands of<br />
peoples’ attention and more to the point to the attention of<br />
those that matter: City bankers and HLS customers.<br />
Team 4<br />
Team 1<br />
06<br />
Team 3<br />
Team 1 travelled out to Berkshire where they held<br />
demos at HLS customers Wyeth and Abbott Labs in<br />
Maidenhead.<br />
Team 2 stayed in London and held demos at HLS<br />
customer Astra Zeneca, The Mauritian Embassy and<br />
Kuoni Travel. The last two were targetted because<br />
Mauritius is one of the largest exporters of primates<br />
in the world and all the primates that are shipped to<br />
HLS come from Mauritius. Kuoni Travel specialise<br />
in holidays to Mauritius and support the primate<br />
trade.<br />
Team 3 After the march this team headed off to GSK’s<br />
massive HQ in West London (see picture on right).<br />
Team 4 This team travelled to Pfizer’s European HQ at Walton<br />
Oaks just off the M25 in Surrey. They then finished off at<br />
massive customer of HLS Novartis in Horsham where they<br />
greeted the workers as they went home.<br />

24/7 365 <strong>SHAC</strong> DOING THE BUSINESS
Summer’s here<br />
so it’s time for ...<br />
Listed here are companies that provide vital services to <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences, be they courier, animal transport, supply or building<br />
companies. Please contact all the companies listed politely and inform them of HLS’s record of animal cruelty and unbelievable staff<br />
incompetence. You can be sure that HLS won’t tell them what goes on behind the razor wire and high fences, so it is up to you to make sure<br />
the truth is heard by those who are helping HLS kill 500 animals a day. You can keep your communications simple: a simple request saying<br />
‘please don’t support animal cruelty’ is enough. The important thing is to take action and speak out for the voiceless victims of <strong>Huntingdon</strong><br />

Spotlight on<br />
PDP Couriers:<br />
The main logistical<br />
supplier to HLS<br />
Some years ago a small company came to our<br />
attention called PDP Couriers after we were<br />
leaked information about the Bristol Oncology<br />
Centre and their dealings with HLS. The courier<br />
company that had made the deliveries of samples<br />
to the centre was a company called PDP<br />
Couriers based in Middlesex. So we contacted<br />
PDP and asked them whether they would agree<br />
to make a statement saying that would never<br />
deliver to HLS again. They did this very quickly.<br />
Now a number of supporters have asked us in<br />
the past how do we know when a company is<br />
telling the truth. Well the honest answer is that<br />
we always take statements at face value whatever<br />
we may secretly be thinking and can do<br />
no more until we can prove different. With PDP<br />
this didn’t take long in coming as it came to our<br />
attention that they were still making deliveries<br />
to HLS. So we contacted them and at first they<br />
strenuously denied it but then when<br />
they realised that we KNEW they were lying<br />
they said “Oh we were only delivering to Centralabs”.<br />
Centralabs are the clinical trials part of<br />
HLS, operating out of their site at Alconbury. By<br />
this time it had also come to our attention that<br />
they were advertising at<br />
vivisection conferences and were delivering to<br />
HLS in an unmarked silver transit van reg EF04<br />
TXA.<br />
As if that wasn’t bad enough, at the end of last<br />
year we were told by an HLS worker that PDP<br />
were dealing with over half the foreign shipments<br />
to HLS from foreign customers (which is<br />

The following are extracts<br />

Yeah the 18 year sentence<br />
was a bit of a shocker! But<br />
I thought it might happen so<br />
it’s not too bad. Needless<br />
to say I’m appealing against<br />
a lot of the guilty verdicts.<br />
Whatever, I’m still smiling<br />
so they’ve failed to bea t me.<br />

This is going to be the last<br />

sure they won’t survive it,<br />

Just to let you know that<br />
everything is going well<br />
from here and I am fine and<br />
well. I’m om day 18 now and<br />
experiencing no problems.<br />
It’s pretty grim down here<br />
in the hospital but nothing I<br />
can’t cope with.<br />

Day 33 now and my condition<br />
is starting to deteriorate<br />
somewhat. I’m still in good<br />
health but, to be truthful,<br />
things will get worse from<br />
now on. But mentally I am<br />
strong and will remain so<br />
because I believe the Hunger<br />
Strike is right. This Labour<br />
Government are betraying<br />
the animals and must be<br />
stopped from doing so. So<br />
this protest will continue<br />
until such time as we win<br />
justice for the animals.<br />

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY<br />
A short while ago we were sent documents that<br />
showed that Cambridge University’s Centre for<br />
Brain Repair at Addenbrookes Hospital was dealing<br />
with <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences and were in<br />
fact an active partner in experiments carried out at<br />
HLS. With a name like the Centre for Brain Repair<br />
you can imagine the kind of vicious, painful braindamaging<br />
experiments they are involved in with<br />
<strong>Huntingdon</strong>.<br />
This is not the first time a unit at this hospital has<br />
come to our notice as Addenbrookes were also involved<br />
with HLS during the 5 year long xenotransplantation<br />
experiments performed on wild caught<br />
baboons. If you look on the sheet to the right<br />

HLS<br />
bank of america sell<br />
all their shares in hls<br />
(and here’s just a small clue why)<br />
Over the past 6 months <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences have steadily<br />
lost one major shareholder after another which is causing them<br />
real problems. Bank of America held about 300,000 shares in HLS<br />
and after demos in the US, Belgium and Holland they decided HLS<br />
just weren’t worth it and offloaded the shares. This really highlights<br />
the strength of <strong>SHAC</strong> and the way we can hit a global company<br />
on our terms across the world.<br />
Frequently<br />
Asked Questions<br />
We often get asked certain questions<br />
about demonstrations. Here<br />
are some of the regular ones<br />
answered.<br />
How do I join a demonstration?<br />
If you are interested in coming<br />
on a <strong>SHAC</strong> demonstration then<br />
please contact us via e-mail or<br />
phone and we’ll let you know if<br />
there are any demos happening<br />
in your area. If there are any<br />
demos in your area then we’ll tell<br />
you where and when to meet up<br />
with the demo. Simple as that.<br />
Bank of America demo in Philadelphia<br />
Bank of America demo in Amsterdam<br />
What if there is nobody in my<br />
area?<br />
Don’t worry. A lot of the demos<br />
are mobile demos so campaigners<br />
will be in cars which means<br />
that they may be able to pick you<br />
up from a train station or somewhere<br />
else that is convenient. Or<br />
if you’re up for it you could organize<br />
your own demonstration<br />
local to you. Contact us if you<br />
would like any help doing this.<br />

at the Bank of America in Belgium<br />
How many people will be there?<br />
Demos vary in size. Sometimes<br />
there may be loads of people out<br />
but demos can still be effective<br />
with just a few people.<br />
But I won’t know anyone there?<br />
Everybody went on their first<br />
demo at some point and it may<br />
be the first demo for other people<br />
there as well. You will be made to<br />
feel welcome and will soon get to<br />
know other people there so it’s<br />
worth joining a demo even if you<br />
don’t know anyone else.<br />
Does it matter if I’m not a vegan<br />
or vegetarian?<br />
No. Just because you disagree<br />
with what HLS do doesn’t mean<br />
that you will be expected to be<br />
vegan or vegetarian straight<br />
away. We’re all fighting for the<br />
same cause, and that is to close<br />
down HLS. No one will have a go<br />
at you if you are wearing leather<br />
shoes! We all had to start somewhere<br />
and coming on a demo is a<br />
brilliant place to start.<br />
What is a mobile demo and what<br />
will I be doing?<br />
A mobile demo is where campaigners<br />
hold demonstrations at<br />
various customers and suppliers<br />
of HLS, moving from one site to<br />
the next by car or other means,<br />

Frequently<br />
Asked Questions<br />
megaphone to inform people or<br />
anything else, there is something<br />
for everyone to do.<br />
Will I have to use a megaphone?<br />
Don’t feel that you will have to<br />
do anything that you don’t feel<br />
comfortable with. There will be<br />
somebody who is confident on<br />
the megaphone on the demo.<br />
However this isn’t to say that you<br />
can’t use it, we welcome people<br />
to get on the megaphone if they<br />
choose.<br />
Will the police be there?<br />
The police usually turn up on<br />
demos and demos are often<br />
organized with the police beforehand.<br />
Am I likely to get arrested?<br />
Demonstrations are legal and<br />
peaceful and the police have no<br />
reason to arrest you. As some<br />
demos are organized with the police,<br />
they aren’t going to trouble<br />

How long will it last?<br />
Again, it depends on the different<br />
demonstrations you go on. Some<br />
last longer than others but if you<br />
need to know you can always<br />
ask.<br />
Does it really make a difference?<br />
Definitely! It’s not the only way to<br />
make a difference but demonstrations<br />
have achieved so much.<br />
It’s demonstrations that make<br />
companies realize that working<br />
with HLS really isn’t worth it.<br />
When you’re on the demonstration<br />
you may not necessarily see<br />
the effect that you’re having but<br />
it doesn’t mean that the demo is<br />
ineffective. Look at the position<br />
HLS are in now, that couldn’t<br />
have been achieved without demonstrating.<br />

As a person who is in frontline medical research I have chosen to say<br />
NO to animal experimentation.<br />
I design novel tests to detect infectious diseases and cancer, and my<br />
collaborators are some of the worlds leading scientists. It is a specific<br />
clause in our contracts that no animals may be used; and they all agree<br />
to this.<br />
I am unable to see how anybody has the right to use animals in any<br />
medical experimentation.<br />

how can I help?<br />
If you know of a demonstration<br />
near you then maybe help out for<br />
half an hour or so on your lunch<br />
break. Another highly effective<br />
way to help is to find out where<br />
demonstrations will be and call<br />
or e-mail the same companies<br />
when you have a few minutes to<br />

to help out, call us if you are<br />

How Low can they go? HLS now<br />
kicked off the Pink Sheets!<br />
Well as far as trading exchanges go,<br />
<strong>Huntingdon</strong> really have hit rock bottom.<br />
After multiple demos in New York and<br />
an email action action alert from the UK,<br />
<strong>Huntingdon</strong>’s last remaining market maker<br />
Vertical dropped out and with no market<br />
maker HLS were bumped off the Pink<br />
Sheets. So where have they gone? Well<br />
before I answer that question, let me first<br />
explain how the financial markets view the<br />
Pink Sheets...Yes the same Pink Sheets<br />
HLS have just been knocked off. The quotes<br />
below are from a financial website called<br />
www.pennymarkets.com:<br />
“It’s a bit like having to move out of your<br />
house in Beverly Hills to an industrial park<br />
20 miles east of downtown L.A.,” said Marc<br />
Beauchamp, the executive director of the<br />
North American Securities Administrators<br />
Association explaing what it’s like to go on<br />
to the Pink Sheets.<br />
.<br />
“We are the tier of stuff that can’t, won’t, or<br />
doesn’t want to be listed on the exchange<br />
NYSE.”<br />
So in market terms HLS have gone from the<br />
industrial park in LA to a shack (pardon the<br />
pun) by the road as they have moved on to<br />
the Grey Markets. Now the Grey Markets<br />
are not an exchange as such but more of<br />
an auction, there is no website you can<br />
check on called the Grey Markets or any<br />
kind of organised structure. This leads to<br />
unbelievable volatility with the share price<br />
bouncing up and down. <strong>Huntingdon</strong> are so<br />
desperate to keep their share price up that<br />
they are forced into propping up the share<br />
price themselves. Numerous examples have<br />
been seen of this, for example yesterday<br />
their share price was at $9.25 so along<br />
comes someone and hikes it up to $11 (It<br />
still finished the day on $9.25). So the next<br />
time you are in Tesco’s and you bill comes<br />
to £60 remember to say to the cashier: “I’m<br />
not paying that but I’ll give you £80.”<br />
The reason for this desperation is the need<br />
to keep their share price inflated above $8<br />
as this makes their market capitalisation<br />
$100 million which is a stipulation for them<br />
to be considered for the NYSE, which they<br />
still hold a hope of getting on to hence the<br />
advert to the right.<br />
Recently HLS reported their first quarter figures<br />
2006 which are compared like for like<br />
to quarter one 2005. In Q1 2005 their sales<br />
were $43, 294 million and in Q1 2006 they<br />
were $42, 455 million. Profits also dropped<br />
from like quarter to quarter from $2.5 million<br />
to $470,000. Cass noted on the figures<br />
that they were “disappointing in absolute<br />
terms” and complained of “unusually high<br />
cancellations.”<br />
It is astonishing that with all the help that<br />
<strong>Huntingdon</strong> have had from Tony Blair, Lord<br />
Sainsbury and industry bodies that their<br />
turnover has not trebled or quadrupled. But<br />
it is only now that it has climbed above pre<br />
1997 levels, after all the help they have had!<br />
The upshot is that we have been having<br />
fanatastic success against HLS on the<br />
financial markets but we need to step it up<br />
against HLS customers and push down<br />
their orders.<br />
HLS are more than ever considered a lame<br />
duck by the financial lenders across the<br />
world and an indication of this is seen in<br />
<strong>Huntingdon</strong>’s recent $70 million refinancing.<br />
The fact that Andrew Baker had to<br />
personally guarantee $30 million of this is<br />
very telling. Do you think Richard Branson<br />
has to underwrite loans to Virgin? Of<br />
course not. On top of that, the interest on<br />
this loan is very very high and the clauses<br />
in the contract are many, for instance the<br />
loan can be called in if Baker or Cass leave<br />
the company!<br />
The last word must go to Andrew Baker<br />
CEO of HLS who recently whined in the<br />
Sunday Telegraph 14th May 2006. Can you<br />
imagine any other CEO ranting hysterically<br />
in the national press like this?<br />
“My low point has been caused by not getting<br />
support - an extraordinary feeling of<br />
being abandoned.”<br />
“ Why have we allowed 10 - perhaps 20 at<br />
most - pathetic, sick, pychologically disturbed<br />
people to intimidate a country of 60<br />
million people?”<br />
He then went onto to blame David Blunkett<br />
and Securicor and even the City itself<br />
claiming “...the excuse that they want to<br />
protect their employees just doesn’t cut it<br />
any more.” Talk about losing control? And<br />
anyway as if the City cares what Andrew<br />
Baker thinks!<br />
Dumb and Dumber<br />
Yep you’ve guessed it! Just when we thought the animals’<br />
enemies couldn’t get any dumber they’ve become even<br />
more dumb! The ad below was taken out in the New York<br />
Times at a cost of $150,000. It came out on April 28th on<br />
the day <strong>SHAC</strong> were marching through the City of London.<br />
It is thought that the ad was taken out by the Centre for<br />
Consumer Freedom in the US. They are a rightwing industry<br />
body like the Research Defence Society in the UK. On the<br />
evidence of this advert they’re certainly as stupid as the<br />
RDS. Whilst HLS are desperately trying to calm already<br />
frayed nerves amongst investors after their demise on to<br />
the Grey Markets their supposed friends’ great idea is to..er..<br />
frighten the very people HLS are trying to calm.<br />
And you know what? Two weeks later they took out the<br />
same advert in the New York Times spending in total<br />
$300,000.Maybe they have been infiltrated by AR sympathisers<br />
cos we couldn’t have done a better job ourselves!
To the City that never sleeps: Neither do we!<br />
A SPECIAL REPORT ON NY BASED WAR - WIN ANIMAL RIGHTS<br />
Imagine this: you are part of a small but tenacious<br />
group of activists dedicated to stopping<br />
the horrific cruelty that we all know goes on<br />
at <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences. Over a two-year<br />
period, you have spent almost every weekend<br />
organizing protests, rallies, candlelight vigils<br />
and educational stalls outside of the home of the<br />
principal investor in <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences,<br />
Andrew Baker. You have weathered everything<br />
from blistering heat waves through blizzards,<br />
thunderstorms and just about every other<br />
weather condition.<br />
Due to a massive campaign of public education<br />
in Baker’s neighborhood, you enjoy the support<br />
and the respect of the community. Baker’s<br />
neighbors regularly wave and cheer your group<br />
on and many even provide financial support for<br />
your efforts. Despite all of that, you realize that<br />
Andrew Baker, Chief Executive Officer and major<br />
shareholder of HLS and his wife, Susan Baker,<br />
don’t really care about the 15 foot banner naming<br />
and shaming Andrew Baker as a Puppy Killer or<br />
that their neighbors turn away from them.<br />
The Bakers have been shunned by many of their<br />
neighbors who have expressed support for the<br />
steadfast protestors that are always at the front<br />
door, rain or shine. They have had their local<br />
pet supply account canceled when they found<br />
out what Andrew Baker did for a living. Baker’s<br />
limousine driver quit his job rather than continue<br />
to drive what he called ‘an ugly monster’. By now<br />
it is clear that the Bakers just don’t care as long<br />
as they can escape the city to their Long Island<br />
hideaway or their home in California’s Hollywood<br />
Hills.<br />
What do you do when you learn that the New<br />
York Police Department is holding secret meetings<br />
in Baker’s apartment? Yes, we know about<br />
Baker’s meeting with Lt. Albano of NYPD Legal<br />
and General Counsel Mark Bibi. How do you deal<br />
with the fact that you are with the only group in<br />
the city that cannot get a sound permit to use<br />
a bullhorn during a protest? What do you do<br />
when you realize that as long as you continue to<br />
protest, members of your group will be subjected<br />
to police harassment, intimidation and arrest?<br />
So, what do you do when faced with this<br />
situation?<br />
Declare WAR! On October 23, 2004 at a national<br />
weekend of action against <strong>Huntingdon</strong> Life Sciences,<br />
Camille Hankins, Greg Kelly and a third<br />
activist launched a grassroots group whose mission<br />
was to take the resources that were devoted<br />
to influencing the Bakers and to re-deploy in a<br />
different and more effective direction. Instead of<br />
hoping that the message would be heard by the<br />
Bakers, we decided to speak to them in the only<br />
language they seem to understand. Money talks<br />
and we decided to speak directly to their bottom<br />
line!<br />
Although from time to time, activists still visit the<br />
Bakers (we have heard that most of these visits<br />
occur in the dead of night and are rather loud and<br />
unruly), we have redirected our attention to those<br />
individuals and companies that have helped Baker<br />
and HLS to stay in business. We studied the<br />
brilliant campaigns being waged in the U.K. and<br />
modeled our efforts after those that we witnessed<br />
leading to the greatest economic impact.<br />
At first, we focused on the board members of the<br />
various high profile customers of HLS. Companies<br />
like GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Myers Squibb,<br />
Roche and Novartis. All had board members that<br />
either lived in New York City or had prestigious<br />
board affiliations here in town. By doing this, we<br />
served notice that we had changed our tactics<br />
and our modus operandi. The days of applying<br />
for sound permits and giving notice of our intent<br />
to demonstrate have given way to a new tactic of<br />
simply turning up and loudly protesting.<br />
Next, we focused on the money men: the investors<br />
and especially the market makers, most of<br />
whom had offices in New York City. In August,<br />
2005, when the HLS parent company Life Sciences<br />
Research (LSRI) announced that LSR would be<br />
moving up to the big board, the New York Stock<br />
Exchange, we knew we had our work cut out for<br />
us. Immediately upon hearing<br />
the news, we<br />
launched a major<br />
offensive to take<br />
our message to<br />
Wall Street. For<br />
the next 6 weeks,<br />
we campaigned<br />
in the Wall Street<br />
area almost every<br />
day. We held banners<br />
and graphic<br />
posters, distributed<br />
countless leaflets,<br />
protested market<br />
makers and sent out<br />
action alerts to thousands<br />
of activists.<br />
On September 7,<br />
2005, after working<br />
almost 48 hours<br />
non-stop, we heard<br />
that the campaign<br />
to <strong>Stop</strong> <strong>Huntingdon</strong><br />
<strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Cruelty</strong> had<br />
won a stunning and<br />
important victory. We<br />
knew that we had taken<br />
part in a campaign that<br />
had made history, as<br />
there has never been a<br />
NYSE listing that was<br />
stopped because of<br />
political activism. We,<br />
at WAR, were happy<br />
to know that we had<br />
played a small but<br />
important part in that<br />
victory. We watched<br />
as LSRI stock, which<br />
fell back on to the<br />
OTCBB, dropped<br />
from a record high<br />
of $18.30 to a low of<br />
$10.00 and still<br />
falling.<br />
After months<br />
of focused and<br />
intensive campaigning,<br />
LSRI<br />
lost its last market<br />
maker and<br />
fell from the<br />
OTCBB to the<br />
Pink Sheets.<br />
Not content<br />
with this, WAR<br />
launched<br />
Operation:<br />
Knockout<br />
which systematically<br />
targeted<br />
market<br />
makers and<br />
investment<br />
houses with<br />
an eye toward<br />
knocking them out<br />
of the picture,<br />
thus<br />
taking LSRI<br />
off of the<br />
Pink Sheets.<br />
Again,<br />
our efforts<br />
along with<br />
the efforts<br />
of all of the<br />
campaigners<br />
around the<br />
world were<br />
rewarded<br />
when the last<br />
market makers,<br />
Vertical Group<br />
and Seaboard<br />
Securities,<br />
dropped LSRI.<br />
LSRI’s listing<br />
on the Pink Sheets was history as they fell<br />
into the financial dead zone known as the Grey<br />
Markets.<br />
Most recently, WAR has launched a tongue-incheek<br />
campaign, Operation: Sinking Ship. With<br />
all of the money men gone, we now turn our<br />
attention back to those companies that literally<br />
keep HLS afloat. Companies like GlaxoSmith-<br />
Kline, Pfizer, Novartis, Roche and Bristol-Myers<br />
Squibb account for the lion’s share of HLS<br />
revenue. They keep HLS in the killing business.<br />
Each of these companies has vulnerabilities and<br />
skeletons in their closets. Skeletons, which we<br />
are sure, they would rather keep buried. We all<br />
know what happens to the skeletons of animal<br />
abusers and exploiters. They have a way of getting<br />
out. Our mission is to speak the truth and to<br />
educate the public about the horrors of animal<br />
testing.<br />
Since our humble beginning just over 18 months<br />
ago, WAR has enjoyed both national and international<br />
press coverage from countless TV stations<br />
and media outlets including CNN in the USA and<br />
SKYE-TV and Canal Plus in Europe.<br />
Our work has been<br />
covered by prestigious<br />
financial publications<br />
such as Dow Jones,<br />
Bloomberg Financial,<br />
Financial Times, Forbes<br />
Magazine and the Wall<br />
Street Journal. We are delighted<br />
that we have been<br />
able to use these press<br />
opportunities to publicize<br />
and shed light on the cruelty<br />
and animal abuse that<br />
take place every day in the<br />
laboratories of <strong>Huntingdon</strong><br />
Life Sciences.<br />
We owe a debt of gratitude<br />
to those who have<br />
mentored us and shown<br />
us the way (you know who you are), as well as<br />
to the countless activists around the world who<br />
have continued to fight the good fight and who<br />
have contributed to these accomplishments. We<br />
salute those imprisoned warriors that have been<br />
temporarily taken from us. You are never far from<br />
our thoughts and you give us inspiration and the<br />
strength to carry on. Until you are free and can<br />
rejoin the fight, we dedicate our efforts to you.<br />
WAR has proven that a small group of impassioned<br />
and dedicated animal activists can<br />
overcome the odds and achieve great success<br />
with limited resources. Our challenge to you is<br />
to continue to grow stronger and to work harder<br />
because our animal brothers and sisters, imprisoned<br />
in HLS and other hellholes just like it, need<br />
us to double our efforts for their liberation. They<br />
are counting on us. The ultimate success has<br />
never been more achievable than right now.<br />
Until all are free,<br />

OK so you want know what will be happening on the day? It’s really simple and effective. We will be<br />
meeting at GlaxoSmithKline at the address above from 8am onwards. You need to come no later<br />
than 11am. If you can come earlier you will be more than welcome. If you need a lift from Stevenage<br />
train station then let us know in advance. There will be transport from various areas inc London,<br />
South Coast, Berkshire etc - contact us for details.<br />
At 11-45am we will split into teams just like we did on March against the Money Men. From here we<br />
will move off to demo HLS customers in surrounding counties. The demos will finish when the murderers<br />
go home which is about 6pm. We can drop you at either where you joined us or a main line<br />
station but no one will be left short. So you see we will be doing our bit but will you be doing yours?<br />
Or will you let them laugh at the animals?
