New HLS supplier caught out: Staples

SHAC | 06.02.2008 23:30 | SHAC | Animal Liberation | World

Stationary supplier Staples (www.staples.co.uk) has been caught sneaking into HLS in unmarked vans. This shady kind of behaviour means they clearly do not want the public shame of helping the Huntingdon poisoning factory.

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty
Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty


Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) are the largest contract testing lab in Europe. They kill 500 animals a day in tests for products such as weedkiller, food colourings and drugs. Huntingdon Life Sciences have been exposed at least 5 times for disgusting animal cruelty and rule breaking.

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty was set up in 1999 with the sole aim of closing HLS down. SHAC campaigns for the closure of HLS using evidence obtained in five undercover investigations at their different laboratories in the UK and USA.
HLS workers have been caught on film punching puppies in the face, simulating sex with animals in their care, cutting open primates while they are still alive and falsifying experiments to get products on the market. We can also prove that HLS workers have been caught drunk at work and dealing drugs at the labs.

Huntingdon Life Sciences have a criminal record from a British court of law for breaking the Companies' Act. They are the only UK laboratory to ever have their licence revoked by the government.

SAMPLE LETTER:


Dear Sir/Madam,

It has come to my attention that Staples has been delivering goods into Huntingdon Life Sciences, (HLS), Woolley Road, Alconbury, Huntingdon.

HLS is Europes largest animal testing facility and has the most appalling track record for animal cruelty. They are the only facility to have had their licence to perform animal tests revoked by the Government after being exposed for horrific acts of animal cruelty.

They were most famously exposed in 1997 by channel four when they went undercover, and filmed beagle puppies being swung and punched, as well as staff incompetence and sloppy procedures. One recent expose in 2005 details the experience of two women who worked in the beagle unit at HLS. Nothing has changed and cruelty and violence is still common place.

Please visit this link to read the full report:
 http://www.shac.net/MISC/Inside_HLS.html

HLS are also currently involved in a lawsuit in America amidst claims of racism, and allegations that a senior scientist was sacked after refusing to falsify data for tests.

I do not wish to support a company that supports such cruelty in anyway and have made the decision to boycott Staples until they stop supporting HLS, and I shall make sure I tell everyone I know about Staples and HLS.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you decide to make an ethical decision and boycott HLS.

Sincerely,

[INSERT YOUR NAME HERE]
