Urgent Plea For Help (Huntingdon Life Sciences)

[Guest guest]

Dear Compassionate Person:

 

I need your help now more than ever. Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), based in

Europe, has been attacking animal rights organizations with lawsuits, based

on laws that were set to prevent organized crime, not animal protectionists.

 

Huntingdon Life Sciences is one of the world's largest contract animal

testing companies. In Great Britain and at their laboratory located in East

Millstone, New Jersey, there are more than 70,000 animals - including dogs,

cats, monkeys, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, mice, and birds - waiting to be

tortured and killed.

 

HLS has been exposed for extreme animal cruelty and fraudulent research

practices. Documents leaked from the lab exposed repeatedly botched

cross-species organ transplant experiments. In fact, the leaked documents

revealed that researchers had falsified data to make it appear as if the

experiments were successful, and that animals who were recorded on paper as

doing well were, in fact, suffering and dying.

 

On October 29, 2001, activists around the world will gather in New Jersey to

protest the HLS at it's United States Headquarters. I am e-mailing you to ask

you that if you cannot travel to New Jersey for the protest, that you

organize something in your own state. Even if you do not have a HLS testing

lab, pick a place in your city/state that is a public place.

 

I have directed all Love All Animals volunteers to help organize protests

across the country and across the world. The HLS needs to be shown that they

cannot threaten us with lawsuits, and we will be here to speak the truth

about their organization, until they end animal abuse and animal testing.

 

I have also said that I will pay for any permit fees, supplies (posterboard,

markers), and brochures that are used at your protests. I believe that this

is an important issue and that HLS needs to be shown that we are serious in

our cause.

 

If you cannot organize or attend a protest, you can also help in the

following ways:

January 2001, Stephens extended a $33 million loan to HLS to keep them from

financial collapse. With this action, Stephens became the primary financer
