Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, 6 Boat Lane, Evesham, Worcs WR11 4BP Tel 0845 458 0630 email: info@shac.net www.shac.net “ We never give in and we always win.”

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) campaigns against Huntingdon Life Sciences, Europe’s largest animal testing laboratory. Huntingdon Life Sciences experiment on lots of different animals: horses, rats, mice, dogs, cats, ish, birds, monkeys, mini-pigs, rabbits, ferrets, even donkeys and deer according to their own promotional material.

Huntingdon Life Sciences have been the subject of 5 undercover investigations at their 2 labs in the UK and

one in America. These investigations revea logue of some of the worst animal cruelty e on ilm, with workers in the UK punching be pies in the face and pretending to have sex and workers in the USA cutting open monke neck to groin that were still alive.

HLS workers have been exposed for falsifyi ments to get drugs on the market, being ca on the way to work and dealing drugs on si even have a convicted sex offender working

aled a cataever caught eagle pupx with them, eys from

ing experiaught drunk ite. They g with

animals in one of their labs.

HLS experiments we have uncovered include testing sun tan lotion, artiicial musk, artiicial sweeteners, food packaging, paints, dyes and food additives. To get these toxic products on to the market HLS killed thousands of animals.

SHAC is a global campaign with many thousands of supporters worldwide. SHAC campaigns within the

law, holding demonstrations, making phone calls and emails, writing letters and doing everything we can to put the spotlight on HLS and those immoral enough to do business with them.

HLS are 91 million dollars in debt and have lost hundreds of suppliers and customers globally thanks to caring people worldwide. Please ight for the animals inside HLS - you are all they have.

After the recent UK and Euro tours it is clearer than ever that we need to take the message to the decision makers. We first started to learn this in 2003 when doing the Japanese customers. We would be doing demos outside their UK offices and staff would come out to us and tell us how they wanted to make a statement and had emailed and phoned head office in Japan saying that they should make a statement.

this is an image they like to project. What you need to remember is that the decisions in that company are made by 12 individuals who sit on the board. They may employ 200,000 people but it is still the 12 of them that make the decisions.

Head office in Japan would email them back telling them to mind their own business, get back to work or they would be fired. Thousands of miles away they were unaffected and didn’t really care what was happening in the UK as it wasn’t affecting them.

Huntingdon Life Sciences are weak, there is real downward pressure on their shareprice (HLS have to keep inflating it back up at 3-59pm just before the markets close, it’s funny but illegal but hey this is HLS so that’s OK) the NYSE is a distant dream and they are in a financial hole they just cannot climb out of, which is incredible seeing the amount of industry and government help they’ve had.

From that point on we knew SHAC Global had to happen and for the first time a grass roots campaign is operating on a truly global level.

SHAC Global is in its infancy and is sowing the seeds for years to come during Huntingdon and beyond.

You will see more and more that where the decision makers are so are we. Multinational companies can seem daunting and huge, in fact

SHAC is a fast moving and innovative campaign. We are strong, accept no weakness and we set the agenda.

Remember you are SHAC and SHAC is you. It is time to close this hell hole once and for all, it will not happen in weeks but we are moving in the right direction at an ever faster pace, we are growing and the strategy has been refined and is 100% correct.

Support us as we go for the decision makers across the globe like never before to wipe off the stain on the map that is Huntingdon Life Sciences. This is our time, our hour of greatness and we will not fail them.

how it all adds up Have you ever wondered where your donations to SHAC go to? Well over the next few paragraphs let me explain as it’s your hard earned money and you have a right to know. One thing is for sure not one penny goes to pay director’s wages or ‘administration costs’ SHAC operates from a deficit and has done so from the days of Consort and Hillgrove. As soon as it comes in it goes out.

In the recent UK and Europe tours we did 6,300 kilometres in 12 days and in the first 3 days of the Europe tour visited the Global headquarters of Roche, Novartis, Arpida, Actelion, Sanofi Aventis and the company that imported 64 beagles into HLS Penauille Servisair. Demos do not come more high impact than these. Let me give you an idea of how much this cost.

Minibus hire for 2 weeks £1,020-00 Fuel £800-00 Air horns £400-00 Food £300-00 There are many more expenses but for just four things we are at £2,500 already. To hit a company like HLS, their customers, suppliers and investors around the globe does not come cheap. We are currently at 18 different countries taking part in SHAC global demos and soon this will be 20 countries.

Governments and multinationals spend millions every year just on entertainment budgets yet SHAC upsets them all for a fraction of the cost. You can rest assured that the money you donate goes to hitting them head on and none of it is wasted.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who has donated over the past 12 months, because it takes all of us together to achieve the closure of HLS against all the odds.

It will take each and every one of us to save those animals against powerful enemies, but we will win no matter what. Here’s looking forward to your continued support and the closure of the disgusting Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Thank you

shac uk tour - 5 days Day 1: We started off the UK tour at 7-30am all the way up in York at long standing HLS supplier Vetway who made a statement and lied. The car park at Vetway was completely empty as they had all parked their cars elsewhere (see picture 1) and had even covered up the name plates in the car park - paranoid or what?

After two and a half hours we made our way across Yorkshire and Lancashire visiting KD systems (supplier) in Leeds, Teva (customer) also in Leeds, Pure Filters & Strand transport (both suppliers) in North Manchester.

We finished day 1 at Chiller Rental Services (supplier) in Leyland, Lancashire (picture 2). they are situated on a busy main road and from 4-6pm we named and shamed them with lots of hoots of support from the passing public. On day 1 of the 6 sites we visited 5 of them had never had demos before.

Day 2: We started off bright and early at Triac in Redditch, West Midlands. Only 2 months before Triac had delivered two large lorry loads of air conditioning equipment into HLS. Triac were not in and the place was locked up in an attempt to avoid us (what cowards!) stupidly they had also taken their sign down (see picture 3) of course we were fooled by this as you can imagine.

We stayed though until 10am so they couldn’t crawl back in and 3 different newspapers came down to take pictures and do interviews. Next we went to Thermo Electron (supplier) in Rugby where we held a noisy demo for the best part of 2 hours then it was on to Mettler Toledo in Leicester.

Like Triac this was Mettler Toledo’s first demo and they are situated on a busy trading park, with the megaphones and 10-12 cops outside, of course loads of people came out to see what it was all about. The manager of the site knew what it was all about and he seemed very agitated as he continually bobbed up and down at the top window taking pictures of us (wow that’s never happened before!)

Next we paid a flying visit to Tartan Mechanical Services just outside Leicester.

This company definitely wins the award for the crappiest company of the tour. The site was no larger than a shed! Now with other companies employing the services of major builders like McAlpine’s, HLS deal with a company operating out of a shed one and a half hours away from HLS - impressive or what?

The last visit of the day was to hell itself Huntingdon Life Sciences. We arrived at about 4-30 just as the monsters were leaving. We stayed until 6-30pm and shouted ourselves hoarse at the puppy killers.

This was the third site of the day that didn’t have a sign outside the company (see picture below right) they do this so they can order supplies in made up names like Paragon Global Services and when the delivery driver enters the site he is none the wiser that he is entering Huntingdon Life Sciences so if they are none the wiser then they cannot tip us off like Dangerous Goods Management (see middle of opposite page) Can you name me another multinational company that doesn’t have its own sign outside their own company?

No neither can I, but there again I cannot think of another company that has no bank, no listing, no insurance company and is in such a shit state as HLS. Day 3: Today was big pharma day in Hertfordshire/ Essex so where a better place to start than GlaxoSmithKline’s massive research complex at Harlow in Essex. Our arrival seemed to cause a certain amount of panic in the 10 or so security guards who seemed to think we had come to raid the place (Here’s a tip - When you are going to raid a place you don’t normally advertise it on our website and newsletter first.

That’s why you don’t see websites like www.

I’mabouttoraidabank.com) We left the security to it as we’ve seen it all before. This site was perfect for the big megaphone we had as it echoed all over the site and the workers had to walk past the pictures of what they do. Funny that they will do it to a living creature but when confronted with pictures of it won’t look at them. At 10am we moved onto...

Another GlaxoSmithKline site at Ware, Herts and with the change of police force came a change of attitude as the circus had well and truly arrived with 6 cops at Harlow we now had about 50 or so. Anyway we just got on with the demo at GSK. Next we went to Merck at Hoddesdon, Herts which is a good site for demos. Again the megaphone echoed all over the site and the usual security watched us from the rooftops. Whilst at this site we were joined by 3 local newspapers who took pictures and did interviews.

There were about 12 of us and we were very noisy and visual with the noise constant and people taking turns on the megaphones to give speeches to the workers or lead the chants.

We then travelled to a Merck manufacturing site at Enfield. This site obviously is not important enough for the circus as they sent only two cops with us who..er..left after 20 minutes leaving us to get on with the demo (see picture left) The last site of the day was Roche’s UK HQ at Welwyn Garden City and wouldn’t you know the circus was back in town. We were promptly told by a hystrerical inspector that we couldn’t use megaphones as we were calling the workers Puppy Killers (which they are). When one of us said we would use the megaphone away from the workers and only talk about HLS’s cruelty record he again refused showing that it had nothing to do with calling them Puppy Killers.

They expected that we would leave, yeah right! So we stood there and warmly welcomed all the workers leaving the site with our loud voices whilst showing them

s and 52 hours of demos good and with lots of hoots from passing motorists we gave the workers leaving the good news.

We stayed here for over 2 hours and left at 6-30pm happy that we had visited some major customers and suppliers of HLS during the day and we had got the message across loud and clear.

Day 5: We were meant to start off the day at Novartis, Crawley but Sussex police obviously do not like peaceful protest as they informed us the night before

pictures of dead dogs with the words...wait for it...Puppy Killers written in large letters on them.

Oh yes and we decided to stay an extra half hour until just after 6-30pm.

Day 4: Today we started off at GSK’s global HQ at Brentford, West London. We were in the Met area this time who can be a schizophrenic police force and today they were in circus mode.

the demo that we could not hold the demo for 2 hours as they were going to limit it under section 14 to just one hour. So what were we to do? We could have gone to Novartis and got involved in a spat with the local police, but this is not the SHAC way. We are not there to be sidetracked into a fight with the police which is what they want.

So come on what were we to do? The SHAC way is to make things more difficult for the customer that is being undemocratic and in this case that was

We then went a few miles down the road for demos in Uxbridge at Xerox (supplier) and Japanese pharma company Otsuka. We stayed at both sites for a combined total of about 2 hours on the megaphones, drum and airhorns with both sites on a busy main road we were also very visual.

Next we went to the UK offices of American pharma company Abbott Labs who are a major customer of Huntingdon and we know for a fact that they have contracted experiments at HLS in the past 3 months. Again a good site for demos and the glass walls mean that everyone inside can see and hear us. We will keep coming back to Abbott Labs around the world time and time again until they drop HLS. The penultimate demo of the day was at Lonza Biologics in Slough. We will be holding demos at their HQ in Basel, Switzerland on the upcoming Euro tour (see back cover) and this site in the UK is right bang next to the A4 main road making this a very public demo.

This is the first time Lonza have ever had a demo and so all the workers were continually at their windows whilst we shouted on the megaphones at different points of their site at the same time.

The local press sent a photographer down whilst we hammered the point to Lonza for nearly one and a half hours.

The last site of the day was Wyeth labs at Maidenhead just in time to catch all the workers leaving. The local support from the neighbouring houses here is very

Sssoooo....They had police spotters on the motorway bridges for 50-60 miles around looking for us (honestly you couldn’t make this stuff up!)

They spotted us (not difficult really seeing as we were in a white 15 seater minibus) as we came up the M3 and then followed us all the way to Sartorious (supplier) at Epsom, Surrey. Here our numbers swelled to about 17 of us. Sartorious like most companies that deal with HLS are paranoid and so they had parked their cars elsewhere. We took turns on the megaphone and chanted for an hour then we were off to ...

Exxon Mobil (customer) who trade under the name Esso in the UK. They have tested additives and chemicals at HLS (as have Shell, Texaco and BP) We stayed here for an hour again making lots of noise. Hundreds of school kids passed us on a sponsored walk and, what timing, just as the last ones went past our time was up.

Next was GSK at St Georges Hill, Weybridge, Surrey. This site is an experimental site and has had a few demos in the past which explains the high steel fence around the place.

We stayed by the main gate for about one and a half hours and kept up a constant noise which carries all over the site. GSK are Huntingdon’s largest customer and this is never forgotten when we do the demos, it comes across in the passion in our voices.

Next we left the Met area and headed into Thames Valley police’s area. The number of cops dropped from 40 in the Met to 3 in TVP’s area (Yes the logic is lost on us too - of why they need 40 cops that is) We arrived at Perkinelmer’s (supplier) site out in the countryside near Beaconsfield. This is a good site for demos and we quickly got on the megaphone to get the point across to all the workers inside the offices who were listening at their windows.

know where we were.

Novartis. So instead of one demo in Crawley we held 2 novartis demos at some of their other UK sites.

First we turned up at Sandoz (Novartis) at Borden, Hants at about 7-50am. Now they were so pleased to see us that they locked the gates and turned all the workers away. The site manager was so pleased to see us he started to chain smoke. Eventually they brought the workers into the site in several convoys except for some big wig in a BMW who was left outside fuming (see picture) At 9am we left for our second Novartis site of the day, Ciba Vision near Southampton. Novartis have a habit of greeting us by locking all the doors and turning anyone away. We weren’t going to enter the offices anyway, we had come to name and shame them to all the other companies on the trading estate.

The demo was loud, clear and to the point and unfortunately to keep on time schedule with the rest of the day we had to go after an hour. This is a good site and this was a good demo so we will definitely be back.

What normally happens on these demos is that one police force will pick us up at the last demo in the neighbouring police force and then take over as we come into their area of control, but because we hadn’t turned up in Sussex as planned they didn’t

The last demo of the tour was at Pfizer’s European HQ at Walton Oaks, Surrey. This site only has one way out and with lots of passing traffic all the workers who passed us could hear the constant hoots of support from passersby. Pfizer had clearly sent hundreds of workers home early as the number of workers passing us was a fraction of what is normal. Great stuff for us and it just shows you what a few people can achieve.

History is often changed by small groups of focused, committed people. We stayed until just after 6-30pm when it was dark and after 52 hours of demos in 5 days and 1,500 miles travelled were we ready for a rest? Er no 36 hours later we set off on the Sunday morning to go on the European tour...Let’s Go!

Hey Hey Hey! with all this talk about UK & Euro stuff what about America? Don’t worry they are still hittin’ ‘em head on as well and here’s just a taster of what’s happening.

We were recently in email correspondence with Dangerous Goods Management who we had caught delivering to Huntingdon. They assured us that it was a one off and that they didn’t realise who they were delivering to. We emailed them to say that we were very suspicious of them but would as always take what they were saying at face value but we would be keeping an eye on them. Well whadya know? Within 2 months we had been leaked documents that showed that not only were they still involved with Huntingdon but only weeks ago they had shipped 1020 slides of monkey parts from Huntingdon to LG life Sciences in Korea. What a disgusting company (LG life Sciences as well) you will find Dangerous Goods Management’s details on the Santa SHAC pages so please give them a call and see what they have to say.

“HAVING FUN WITH HLS ON A GLOBAL SCALE.” At the first of November 2004 we kicked off. Respect voor Dieren in the Netherlands was born. Four days later we joined the biggest animal liberation campaign - Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty.

Fisher Scientific is a supplier of HLS and we confronted them for hours. Immediately locals supported our goal.

To us it became clear that people are so angry about animal abuse. Unfortunately Fisher is still a supplier of laboratory equipment. In the true spirit of the campaign ‘we never give up and we always win.’

So last week we stood our ground again, for the 16th time since the beginning.

Fisher invested in security cameras after one year campaigning, which we think is perfect. Now they can also see us from inside the building, and they don’t even have to open their curtains.

The cowards.

Soon we protested at all the customers and suppliers in the Netherlands. In May 2005 we had our first victory. HLS supplier Labtronics (with an office in Canada and the Netherlands) dumped the sick lab. We sent them a letter explaining the campaign and asking them to drop HLS. No reaction. We sent them emails and asked them to drop HLS. No reaction.

We stood in front of their company and leafleted the neighbourhood of the director of Labtronics.

Within 48hours they dumped HLS. Again a clear sign that confronting the animal abusers and their support basis, from supplier to customer, is the only way forward.It’s no wonder GlaxoSmithKline in the Netherlands has a huge fencing around the building. Cameras everywhere.

Not one but two gates at the front side. Security and extra security when we’re doing our demonstrations. None of this existed before we took part in the HLS campaign.

One of the most fun things to do was going to a big career event and guess who was there as well? GSK manager Christiaan Caanen. Dressed up smart we went to his talk. After 10 minutes we stood up and started our protest.

Surprise, surprise!

This guy went to-tal-ly mad and tried to throw chairs at us. Ha-Ha. We left through the emergency exit leaving an angry GSK manager behind.

August the 19th of 2005 we went to Belgium to join our newly created chapter: Respect voor Dieren Belgium. From day one there was a click between the activists (even though some have a funny accent). We were angry and loud at customers like Roche and Novartis.

In March 2006 we started the Bank of America demos. This company had shares in HLS,worth millions. In New York activists demoed at the front doors of the directors, Italian activists joined in and in the Netherlands and Belgium we stood our ground. Within 2 months they sold their shares,fed up with the hassle of dealing with HLS. In the same time period Emerson Process, a supplier of HLS, also dumped Huntingdon.

Again we contacted them, no reply. Three

unexpected demos and they drop.

Most of these companies do not have a heart. They drive into HLS and do know what it is all about.

The SHAC campaign contacted them, followed up with an email alert.

Giving thousands of people the chance to join in and show their compassion. It’s only when the protests begin which are shaking them.

It’s our duty to shake all of these companies, as the vivisectors of HLS are shaking the beagle puppies. As the HLS sickos are using animals like punching bags.

There’s really no justice for them, just you and me.

After our big anti-fur demonstration through the streets of Amsterdam, with 500 people attending, more people joined in the campaign.

In December 2005 Another ‘branch’ opened. In the North Respect voor Dieren activists started demonstrating at the monsters of Abbott Laboratories and Astellas. Both using HLS frequently. Both companies complaining to the local authorities to BAN our protests.

There’s no way we ever give up on the animals.

The future? We’ll

keep on rocking. Respect voor Dieren is constantly on the move. Now looking back, 2 years later, we have grown from an enthusiastic group of activists to a professional AR group. We’re still on the move, growing and finding new ways.Sometimes we’re not so bright. As the time we stood in front of HLS supplier York, the week between Christmas and NewYear 2005.

Finding out only one employee being there. ‘Maybe it has something to do with the holidays?’ we were saying to each other (Doh!). So we wished him a happy New Year (Yeah right) and went on to DHL which was fully staffed. No problem for us, only for them.

We’ve had amazing times over the past couple of years like showing up at a completely empty Roche Headquarters at 15.00 on a friday afternoon for an announced demonstration. ‘Elvis has left the building’. So we went to their other office, which, surprise,surprise, were all there! Receiving ice cream from locals at 32 degrees during our Fisher protest. Two weeks of holiday payed by the state, found not guilty and getting 1000 euros on top! Love those guys with moustaches! Meeting inspiring activists all over the globe.

One egg hitting the head of Mr.Respect voor Dieren Belgium (you noisy bastard!).

More security, more police in Brussels, (soon banks will be robbed during demos by criminals as all police are at Pfizer), more fun. The real fun comes when HLS is closed. When the last bricks are taken down and the activists are drinking beer (Vitamalt for the Straightedge) on the ruins of HLS. HELL YEAH! Here are our contact details. You’re welcome to visit us and mixing in with our demos. It doesn’t matter which language you shout.

Disclaimer This newsletter is not intended to encourage illegal activity of any kind. SHAC’s intent is to close down HLS by legitimate means only, spreading information and disseminating the facts relating to HLS’s record of animal cruelty, fraud and incompetence. We believe that there is more than enough evidence for the UK government to withdraw HLS’s licence and close them down.

Readers must bear in mind that certain demonstrations eg home demonstrations AND OFFICE OCCUPATIONS are now illegal in the UK although they are perfectly legal in other countries, and the inclusion of reports relating to these demos abroad does in no sense amount to encouragement to do similar demos in the UK.

Company details are listed for the purposes of readers making informative and polite communications with the companies listed. The details are not intended for repetitive, rude or threatening calls.

The legal advice guide with this newsletter covering sections 145 and 146 of the Serious Organised Crime & Police Act 2005 is something you should read and familiarise yourselves with. You can aslo download it from our website at www.shac.net/FEATURES/legal_advice.pdf SHAC is now a global organisation and so the laws differ from country to country. Sections 145&146 make it a speciic offence to target a company involved with the vivisection industry with a view to getting them to sever a contract by illegal means.

So does this mean that demonstrations, phone calls and emails are now illegal? No it doesn’t but what it does mean is that to target a company illegally is. So what does illegally mean? Well to ring a company up or send them an email saying that they shouldn’t be dealing with HLS because of Huntingdon’s appalling record of animal cruelty is perfectly legal. But on the same hand to ring a company up and say they should stop dealing with HLS or else know what I mean? Is illegal as it is threatening. It is all about common sense and proportionality.
