Despite the recent government and police repression, the SHAC campaign is as strong as ever. HLS is still nearly $100 million in debt, and it is the only company in the world which does not have a bank account or insurance, both of which are instead provided by the UK government in a desperate bid to shore up this failed business.
'MARCH AGAINST THE ABUSERS
For the first time in years, we will be marching in Huntingdon Town Centre, and then on to the infamous Huntingdon Life Sciences torture centre at Alconbury, on Saturday November 10th.
***Meet 11am, Huntingdon Town Centre, at Riverside Rd Car Park. After a march round the town, we will be getting back into vehicles and moving onto HLS labs.***
Recent attempts to revive HLS' share dealings have fallen flat, as more and more companies have quickly got rid of their shares, following demos and action alerts. Still only around 2% of HLS shares are currently being traded, and the company is desperately trying to reschedule debts to stay afloat.
It is UK tax payers who are in effect currently paying for 500 animals to be tortured to death each week inside HLS labs, something we will be highlighting in Huntingdon on November 10th.
Please keep November 10th free, and start making travel plans now for this most important demonstration. Coaches and minibuses will be arranged from around the country, more details to follow.
Please contact us also if you can distribute flyers to advertise the event.
In the meantime, please keep up the pressure by supporting shac demos in your area and by contacting the companies helping to keep this disgusting company in business.

This Demo cannot come soon enough,the last Demo i attended was the fight for Felix in Oxford and and that really hit me hard,as so many others that was my first Demo that i had ever attended so i took my husband and children along and we met so many fab people.
When the info came up that Felix had died at the hands of those SCUM it was really hard to take in,as i really did not understand the mentality of those so called Animal Testers.
But having read up so much about these so called Universities i now realise what everyone is up against.
They are nothing but a bunch of LIARS who do everything to cover their tracks,a lot like H.L.S. what they put those poor animals through is just horrific just to see if a test will work,and it does not.
H.L.S. have everything coming to them they will reap what they sow.
So many people are branding protesters terrorists which is very wrong,we speak out for the innocent for the ones who hurt and who cannot tell us how badly that hurt is.
The sooner this ShitHole is closed down the better.
The only real regret that i have is that i did not become more active in Demos and Protets a lot sooner,but i intend to make up for all of my lost time.
See You Soon,
Bets Wishes,
Helen.

I challenge the veracity of this statement, knowing what I do about HLS profits and shares. but don't let a little knowledge get in the way of your self righteousness.
IF you ever succeed in closing down this place, you're dooming the animals to far harsher treatment at labs in other countries where such stringent regulations don't exist. it's those kind of labs that the SHAC idiots put photos of on their propaganda. the irony may be lost on them but it isn't on me.
if i can get to Huntingdon on the 10th November I will be opposing this gathering of anti-science, misinformed idiots.

As for your name calling, let me refute your accusations one at a time.
Anti-science: I have a PhD in biological science and 33 peer reviewed publications. What are your science credentials?
Mis-informed: I have written several peer reviewed articles informing the public of the both the moral bankrupcy and shonky science associated with vivisection.
Idiot: I have not had it formally measured, but I would estimate my IQ to be at least 140, given that I am teaching university courses.
Of course I am not actually attending the protest at Huntingdon, but that is only because I live 20,000km away. I am certainly with them in spirit.
As for your assertion that the animals will only be made to suffer far worse if the lab is closed down, well those particular animals will be far better off. At the worst they will be painlessly put down, at best they will be put into loving homes. Other countries that have even lower standards than the UK (New Zealand for example) are looking at the UK and are VERY WORRIED. Simon Festing gave a talk at our Ministry of Animal Cruelty (aka Ministry of Agriculture) in 2005 warning NZ vivisectors about the effect the movement in the UK will be having in New Zealand. He was extremely worried, not only about the ALF, but also about more mainstream groups like BUAV. The AR movement in the UK is affecting investment in vivisection everywhere, and therefore is actually helping animals in other countries, not hurting them. If Oxford and Huntingdon close down, Ruakura and Massey will follow quite quickly.
Tag, over to you.
