Activists demo 3m execs homes

This past Monday, November 10th, activists visited the homes of Jean Lobey and Robert Macdonald at their posh homes in Woodbury. We brought the suffering of the 500 animals that died that day inside of Huntingdon Life Sciences to their homes and told them if they don't do everything in their power to get 3m to end their contract with HLS, we would be back, and back, and back. After about 20 minutes at the first location, Woodbury police showed up and for the first time, they respected our 1st amendment right and even told us to keep warm!! 3m: We will NEVER BACK DOWN until you stop the killing.

What is Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS)?

Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) is a notorious animal testing lab in East Millstone, New Jersey that is being sued by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) for violating animal welfare laws over 600 times. HLS workers were exposed in five separate investigations between 1997 and 2006 for crimes including punching four-month-old beagle puppies in the face, dissecting live primates, and being intoxicated while on the job. HLS was also repeatedly found to have been falsifying scientific data, and as a result drugs tested "safe" at HLS have gone on to kill hundreds of people and hospitalize tens of thousands.

Inside Huntingdon's labs, animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, primates, fish, birds, rats and mice are forced to inhale and ingest toxic doses of pesticides, household cleaners, food additives, coffee sweeteners, diet pills, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. The testing process usually lasts for weeks or months, during which the animals suffer severe reactions including vomiting, bleeding, paralysis. hemorrhaging, infections, and death. At the end of each study, all animals are killed and dissected. All of this is done to put out products that - due to HLS's track record of sloppy science and scientific fraud - have caused countless deaths and hospitalizations of people.

Who Wants That?

No one. In the last several years, HLS has lost all of their institutional investors, been de-listed from nearly every stock exchange in the world, and lost many of their top customers. Over 300 former business partners - such as CitiBank, Johnson and Johnson, Fidelity Investments, and Deloitte and Touché - have vowed never to work with HLS again. An ongoing global campaign is working to ensure that other companies stop supporting HLS's cruelty to animals and people, so that HLS is shut down for good.
