Covance laboratories new Animal Lab
07-01-2005 11:55
Covance laboratories are building a new animal torture laboratory at their site in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. If this lab is built then it will be the fate of thousands of animals every year, who will die in cruel, pointless experiments that have no value to human health. Covance have applied for a rodent laboratory. Although have just finished a new large "rodent" lab this is suppose to be phase 2, we suspect this is just a lie to cover-up what the lab is going to be use for and what animals they will experiment on in this new hell hole!New Zealand/Aotearoa GE FREE Victory!

In a major victory for the GE Free movement in Aotearoa/ New Zealand, the main target of the current GE Free campaign stated in a news item that KFC are "committed" to continue using GE-free soy from Inghams Enterprises LTD "as long as world supply enabled it to". (See: http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/waikatotimes/0,2106,3136633a6579,00.html) KFC had been sourcing soy chicken feed from Inghams who had a history of sourcing GE Soy feed but who had been pressured to source several GE Free shipments. Succesful campaigning has seen them continue doing so instead of reverting back to GE soy which was expected.
