BARCLAYS PROTEST IN CAMBRIDGE

Thursday, 26th February

Campaigners were back at Barclays Market Hill Cambridge branch informing customers and members of the public about the company’s investment in HLS, the most exposed animal testing lab in the world who have been caught out time and time again for animal cruelty. HLS test sweetener, household products and GMOs on animals in abusive and deadly experiments.

A police officer and 2 PCSOs came up to a campaigner and tried to get him to move from near the doors. Despite calling him ‘arrogant and ignorant’ for not moving (leading to a member of the public showing support and telling the campaigner he didn’t have to stand for it), the police admitted no offence had been committed. They also revealed that they hadn’t even got a complaint when the PCSOs first came up and started to waste time they should be using to catch criminals! The police left sulking after not getting their own way!

We have the right to freedom of protest allegedly in this country and we will not be deterred from naming and shaming companies that support and collaborate with the most exposed animal contract testing lab in the world.
