Pain doubles at HLS, animal use drops 34%

Win Animal Rights (WAR) released the text of a press release published on September 8, 2009, by watchdog group SAEN. The press release was about USDA inspection reports for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 for the Huntingdon Life Sciences East Millstone, New Jersey laboratory. The release was entitled: "Pain for Dogs Doubles at Huntingdon Life Sciences; Overall HLS Experimentation Drops". You can read the full text of the press release and access the USDA reports below.

Lee Hall confronted at the London Vegan Festival

Lee Hall, notorious defender of state oppression of animal activists and author of the ridiculous ‘Capers in the Churchyard, Animal Activism in the Age of Terror’ was scheduled to give a talk today (Sunday Sep 6th) at the London Vegan Festival. Things didn’t work out quite as she, or the festival, had planned however. If Hall was seriously entertaining the notion that she could fly to England and hold forth for fifty minutes at an event like this, with SHAC activists present, on the subject of her choice, without being confronted about her statements on direct action, then I suggest she is in need of a psychiatrist.

Latest on HLS financials

In 2009 Huntingdon's CEO Andrew Baker announced that he was offering to buy out HLS for $7.50 a share. This means he wants to buy all the unsold shares in the company and buy out all the existing shareholders so that he owns the company in full.

The last three months have been devastating for Huntingdon, as their financial longevity starts to crumble. After a sustained campaign against Barclays for their position as HLS’ top institutional shareholder, they sold all of their shares, leaving Huntingdon once again below the minimum listing standards of the NYSE ARCA exchange. Unsurprisingly the NYSE have so far turned a blind eye to this breach of their own regulations, but as Barclays will tell them, there is only so long you can ignore SHAC! And it’s not just Barclays who have decided to find better places to invest their money; In the first few months of 2009, HLS lost 14 shareholders, including several from the top...

Novartis CEO's hunting lodge burnt down, mother's ashes stolen

04-08-2009 23:30 | SHAC | Animal Liberation | World

Media has reported that Novartis chairman and CEO Daniel Vasella's hunting lodge in Tyrol, Austria, has burnt down. A Novartis spokesperson claimed "It was arson with a professional fire accelerator," and that Vasella has now decided to sell the property.

There is speculation that it is the work of the same group that stole the ashes of Vasella's mother on July 27 in Chur, Switzerland. Her gravestone was defiled with "Drop HLS Now", calling on the Novartis CEO to sever its ties with Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS).
