HLS US INVESTOR SHAMED AGAIN

Peter Laventhol Owner Spark Management

Although activists had reserved this day of protest to call attention to the Canadian seal slaughter, one location was so close, that activists knew they couldn't leave the area without stopping by. Just minutes way from Fifth Avenue was the home of Peter Laventhol, owner of Spark Management. Spark is the second largest institutional investor in LSR also known as Huntingdon Life Sciences, a notorious company that is known to kill 500 animals every single day.

Lined up across the street from the entrance to Peter's building, activists were able to distribute literature and converse with his neighbors and visitors to the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) right down the block. Voices were raised in unison, chanting.There's no excuse for animal abuse and exhorting Peter to do the right thing and divest of his shares in puppy killing and animal abuse.

The highlight of the protest was when a gentleman from Laventhol's building came down to speak to the activists. He asked intelligent questions about the connection between HLS and Laventhol and then asked questions about the campaign in general. As a devout animal lover and feline rescuer, this gentleman was horrified at what he was told. He requested a supply of flyers so that he could distribute them to other animal loving building residents. He vowed to do everything he could to help stop the killing.
