The campaign to close Huntingdon Life Sciences involves thousands of caring people all across the world. Like you they are disgusted by HLS and their evil activities and are prepared to take action to close them down. All of us fighting for the animals are a powerful force, so get involved, get active and do your bit to close down HLS. Please read the information below and follow the links below to help you become active for the animals. If you are unsure or don't understand anything on this website or to do with the campaign then you can always ring or email us at any time as we are here 7 days a week. Please also view the current targets section.
Phone
Calls and emails
Phone call protesting is a very effective campaigning tactic. Phone the
companies up and ask them to justify their involvement in animal cruelty
and scientific fraud. You have every right to call Huntingdon and their
customers and suppliers and question them about their obscene practices.
If you are at all concerned about companies like HLS being able to find
out who you are, then it is better to make calls from a public phone box
using the preset 141 before every number you call to protect your privacy.
This does not mean we are encouraging you to make a different sort of
phone call than you would from home, but we know some people wish to remain
anonymous for instance because of their job.
rNever underestimate how important these calls are.
Many companies that have dealt with Huntingdon have ditched them due to
the calls they have received from memebers of the public voicing their
concerns and talking to their staff. Every single call counts.
For a list of important phone numbers and email addresses then please
check our current targets section.
Emails are also an important way you can take action for the animals.You
can subscribe to the email action alert list on the website. It is free
to join and keeps you up to date with the best phone numbers and email
addresses to use. If you wish to preserve your privacy use a local library
or internet cafe.

Please note that SHAC does not encourage repetitive, rude or threatening
phone calls and emails, Make your point politely.
Demonstrations
There are SHAC demos happening across the world every day. The aim of
the campaign from the start has been to undermine and destroy Huntingdon's
financial base. This has been massively successful resulting in the government
having to rescue Huntingdon from imminent closure several times already.
Demonstrations can be anything from 2,000 people marching round Cambridge
city centre to one person putting stickers up - the point is THEY ALL
COUNT.
The main focus of the campaign is the customer campaign. To view a list
of all the companies currently being targetted in the customer campaign
please look on our current targets
section.
Alongside the customer campaign is the smaller suppliers campaign that
targets any company that supplies the hellhole that is Huntingdon Life
Sciences. To view the suppliers currently being targetted please click

If you are new to SHAC please remember that we all went on our first demonstration
once. On demonstrations you are surrounded by like-minded people all with
the common aim of shutting down the disgusting Huntingdon Life Sciences.
SHAC produces a campaign newsletter that comes out once every 4 weeks
to keep activists up to date and informed. This newsletter contains a
full list of demo dates. You can download these from the website by clicking
here.

Fundraising
The campaign cannot operate without funding from the general public. Pound
for pound the campaign is one of the most effective ever and you can rest
assured that every pound you donate goes towards closing Huntingdon.
You can raise money in a whole variety of ways from car boot sales, street
stalls to sponsored events. One child recently raised over £100
pounds for the campaign by taking part in a sponsored silence.
If you would like to donate money you can send a cheque or postal order
made payable to SHAC and send it to
