STONES AND PAINT AGAINST ASTRAZENECA (Sweden)

reported anonymously:

"During the night of March 30 an AstraZeneca facility in Lund was attacked with rocks and paint bombs. Several windows were smashed and red paint spread inside their fancy entrance.

This is just the beginning and we will continue our actions until AstraZeneca quit all contracts with Huntingdon Life Sciences.

EASTER BUNNY VS. NOVARTIS (UK)

anonymous report:

"Easter has just passed and the Easter Bunny has paid visits to all the good people, handing out vegan goodies. However, CIBA Vision [Novartis] has been very, very bad, using animals to test their contact lenses. Rabbits are typically used for these sorts of experiments due to their inability to blink away the chemicals poured into their eyes. Well, well, well CIBA Vision, looks like you got found out. The Easter Bunny got mad for her brethren and decided one more visit was in order…

Workers at CIBA Vision would have arrived at work to find front and back doors glued firmly shut and their com-pad out of use. Slogans such as 'SCUM' and 'ALF' were daubed across walls, windows and doors. Hopefully, while the workers had to wait to break into their own facility, they would have had time to contemplate the demands of the Easter Bunny…"
