Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 ********************************************************************* HLS: INVESTOR OF THE WEEK: **GOLDMAN SACHS** ********************************************************************* NOTE: Goldman Sachs doesn't own or hold shares in HLS but one of their subsidiaries, Spear, Leads and Kellogs, does. Ask Goldman Sachs to not allow one of their companies to tarnish their good name. Undercover Investigation Finds.. " I saw monkeys hunched over in pain after abdominal surgery performed by laboratory personnel who had no formal veterinary training. One of the employees doing the surgery told me that she had never done such surgeries before and that she had 'no idea what [she] was doing.' HLS technicians 'practiced' surgery on lightly anesthetized rats; failed to kill rats by breaking their necks despite numerous attempts, ultimately putting them into plastic bags while still alive; failed to provide injured and infected rats with veterinary care; and even hung a sign on a rat's cage saying 'Please give me a drink' instead of euthanizing the animal who could no longer drink because of severe oral disease. HLS lab workers joked about the 'Platinum Club' - you automatically become a member if you kill an animal. They keep a list of those in the club and the animals they had killed. " Every week there will be a week-long phone/e-mail blockade against one of HLS investors. Some of these investors will be big companies and others will be private investors. We will target a new investor each week. We need EVERYONE to take a few minutes each day and let these investors know that by supporting HLS, they are supporting animal abuse and torture. Show them that WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! Let's hit them where it hurt-their pockets! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* WEEK 7 GOLDMAN SACHS **HOLDING 1,032,101 SHARES** Goldman Sachs and Speer, Leeds & Kellogg (SLK) have recently joined forces. They joined firms in November 2000. Much like SLK, Goldman Sachs is a company very much concerned with public/customer realtions. Business Principle #14: Integrity and honesty are at the heart of our business. We expect our people to maintain high ethical standards in everything they do, both in their work for the firm and in their personal lives. ....It seems that this principle does not apply to those they do business with... This is a letter received from Peter Kellogg himself.. " Thank you for sending me the E-Mail about HLS. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention as I am an animal lover. The truth is that I AM NOT -- NOR is Spear, Leeds & Kellogg an owner of HLS stock. A customer of ours had a large position of stock in February and NO LONGER has this position. Hope all is well. Peter R. Kellogg " Just days later we spoke with Kellogg's assisstant who confirmed to us that SLK/GS ARE IN FACT monetary supporters of HLS. This just proves that they are willing to make up lies to stop people from contacting them/him. However, we have done our research and called their bluff! KEEP THE PRESSURE ON UNTIL THEY DROP HLS!!!!

Suite 900 Washington, D.C. 20004 Tel: 1-202-637-3700 **Please take the time to put your feelings and outrage into your own words, someone has to read these letters and emails. It would be much more effective if they read a veriety of letters, not just a form letter. SAMPLE LETTER: I am writing to urge you to discontinue your investment with Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). Animals are sentient, living beings and should not be used for experimentation or anger relief for staff members. Since the publicity, I am certain you are now aware of the horrendous pain and suffering animals at Huntingdon endure. Tests which force the animals to consume toxic doses of various chemicals, inhale noxious fumes, and have caustic chemicals applied to their raw skin is horrendous. What is even more outlandish is documentation showing staff throwing beagle puppies against walls and punching them in the face. This is simply not good business. There are numerous companies discontinuing animal experimentation and instead, using computer simulations and the vast amount of previously accumulated data. You have the power and the ability to do something about the excruciating pain an annual 180,000 animals suffer. First, as an investor, you can demand they change their practices and you can demand the staff have psychological treatment. Second, you can cease your ownership of HLS stock and not invest in any other company practicing archaic and brutal animal research. I also encourage you to look beyond the bottom line when making future investments. Compassionate individuals, like yourself, with the gift of financial resources to invest can create long-term, far-reaching consequences toward a more benevolent world. ********************************************************************* For More Information: www.adl-online.com www.shac-usa.net www.stephenskills.com www.bankofnykills.com ********************************************************************* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
