HLS-Tierquälerei&Aktion

Versuchstierhandels zum Aufgeben zu zwingen. Zuerst die Beagle-Zuchtstation "Consort Kennels", 200 Beagle wurden nach der Schliessung  in gute Haende vermittelt. Dann der Katzenzuchtbetrieb "Hillgrove Cats", ueber 1000 Katzen und Kaetzchen wurden nach der Schliessung gerettet und vermittelt. Und Schliesslich wurde auch noch eine Affenzuchtstation zur Aufgabe gezwungen. Leider konnten die verbleibenden Affen nicht gerettet
werden, die armen Geschoepfe wurden einfach an andere Labors, im Ausland,
vergeben. Sie werden auch die Schliessung von HLS zustande bringen. HLS ist
eines der groessten Labors in Europa. Gerade habe ich gehoert, dass weitere
Aktien-Inhaber ihre Aktien abgestossen haben, infolge der Massenproteste, der oeffentlichen Blossstellung, usw.

Mit drei vorgefertigten Briefen, die Ihr unter
mailto:Sylvia-Laver@gmx.ch anfordern koennt,  habt Ihr die
Moeglichkeit die Englischen und neuerdings auch die Amerikanischen Tierschuetzer bei ihrem Kampf um die Schliessung von "Huntingdon Life Sciences" (HLS) zu unterstuetzen. In den Labors von HLS weren jedes Jahr an 70'000 Tieren Versuche durchgefuehrt. Das wenigste, was wir tun koennen, ist diese Briefe per Post abzuschicken, und Freunde zu veranlassen das selbe zu tun.

Danke.

Immer fuer die Tiere

Da ich selbst Halter eines sog. Kampfhundes bin, bin ich der Sacbe selbst auch aktiv. Allerdings ist dies hier nicht das richtige Forum, um sich über dieses Thema zu unterhalten.

Shares of Huntingdon were down 45 percent to 3 pence (4.3 cents) Wednesday
on the London Stock Exchange.

The Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty campaign has already shifted its focus to
the Bank of New York, which it alleges is a big investor in the lab.
Activists invaded a London office of the bank on Monday, remaining for 11
hours. The bank had no comment.

Huntingdon Life Sciences, based 60 miles north of London, says it performs
tests on 75,000 animals per year -- 86 percent of them rodents. About 750
dogs and 190 primates are tested and killed in a typical year.

In March, the company reported an operating loss of $7.5 million in 2000,
compared to a loss of $6.1 million the previous year.

``Unfortunately, the most visible feature of this past year was the abusive
and sometimes violent campaign waged by so-called 'animal rights' activists
against the company, and our shareholders, clients and financiers,'' Andrew
Baker, Huntingdon's executive chairman, said when results were announced.

``This campaign, which fed the uncertainties surrounding our refinancing of
the company's bank debt certainly had a negative impact on orders and study
starts during the fourth quarter and the early part of 2001,'' he said.

The dispute also has wider implications for the nation's pharmaceutical
industry, which employs 60,000 Britons, exported 7.1 billion pounds ($10.2
billion) of British-made drugs in 2000 and spent 2.9 billion pounds ($4.2
billion) on in-country research.

International drug companies are starting to look beyond Britain as they
plan new investments, Trevor Jones, director general of the Association of
the British Pharmaceutical Industry, told a news conference earlier this
month. He called for more aggressive policing of activists.

``It would be a disaster for the country if companies decided that vital
research into new medicines would have to be conducted abroad because of the
unacceptable actions of a few extremists,'' Jones said.

The government has drafted legislation to strengthen laws against harassment
and better protect the privacy of potential victims.

``We are simply not prepared to let a small minority of criminal extremists
intimidate members of the scientific community and their families, and try
to prevent essential medical research,'' Home Secretary Jack Straw said
recently.

On Feb. 22, three people in ski masks ambushed Huntingdon Managing Director
Brian Cass as he came home from work, bludgeoning him with baseball bats
near his front door.

The attack left a 3-inch gash on Cass' scalp and a scar on the reputation of
a British-born movement better known for rescuing baby seals and persuading
fashion models to strip nude for anti-fur protests.

Most animal rights campaigners operate openly but secrecy is the rule in
groups such as the Animal Liberation Front, which has set off explosions and
started fires at drug labs and fur businesses.

Robin Webb, 56, who serves as spokesman for the Animal Liberation Front,
said it has not killed or seriously injured anyone in nearly 30 years of
activity.

He says that two underground groups -- the Animal Rights Militia and the
Justice Department -- have claimed responsibility for some attacks that
break ALF's code, such as the assault on Cass and a letter-bomb campaign
that injured a 6-year-old daughter of a pest controller.

14 BEAGLES LIBERATED FROM CONTROVERSIAL LAB DAYS BEFORE MAJOR PROTEST

East Millstone, NJ -An anonymous message was delivered to the Animal Defense
League - New Jersey today claiming a raid at controversial animal testing
laboratory Huntingdon Life Sciences, 100 Mettlers Ln., East Millstone, NJ,
in
which 14 beagles were liberated. Word was received the day before a major
protest at the lab scheduled for April 2, 2001, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

An estimated two-hundred animal rights activists from across the United
States, as well as overseas are expected to attend the protest.

The raid occurred during a series of events targeting the animal testing
lab,
which began with protests at the residences of three key Huntingdon
executives on Saturday, March 31. A conference on Sunday, April 1, featured
speakers including animal rights activists, a surgeon, and AIDS
activists--who discussed the issue of animal testing from ethical and
scientific viewpoints.

Huntingdon Life Sciences, a UK-based animal research laboratory specializing
in toxicology testing, has become the target of an extensive and
hard-hitting
campaign in England, and now in New Jersey. The company routinely pumps
lethal doses of toxic substances into the stomachs of beagles, monkeys,
rats,
mice, rabbits, and other animals.

Huntingdon Life Sciences has been besieged since 1997, in which undercover
video of company laboratories in both the United Kingdom and East Millstone,
NJ facilities shows workers cutting apart a live monkey, and punching and
violently shaking beagle puppies. The videos led to a $50,000 fine for
violations of the Animal Welfare Act at the US facility, and Cruelty to
Animals charges at the UK lab.

The company began a downward financial spiral as investors such as Citibank,
HSBC, Merill Lynch, and TD Waterhouse pulled their support, many after being
targeted by intense protests.  Over the past week, Huntingdon's only two
brokers to the London Stock Exchange, Winterflood Securities and Dresdner
Kleinwort Wasserstein, severed ties with the company, leaving them on shaky
financial ground. The campaign in the United States began in September 2000
when 60 activists protested the lab, leading to five arrests. The ADL-NJ
would later criticize Huntingdon Life Sciences for refusing to debate the
merit of their work with a concerned doctor and medical school instructor.

ADL-NJ activist Darius Fullmer points out that the group is not involved in
underground actions such as the raid, but fully supports them. "Fourteen
innocent creatures have been rescued from a short life of pain and a brutal
death. For those 14 we rejoice, for all those who remain encaged we will
continue to fight until all are free."

Nik Hensey, who traveled from Los Angeles for the protest, said "I came to
do
my part to show that Huntingdon can no longer torture and mutilate animals
behind closed doors in the name of profit." Activist Miyun Park from
Washington D.C. stated, "We've seen what goes on inside Huntingdon, and
there's simply no excuse for that kind of cruelty."
