PROTEST AT NOVARTIS US PRESIDENT, ROBERT PELZER IN NYC

Sunday, 9th August

Reminder from WAR: "We will never back down, until you give us a statement!"

Following last week's demonstrations against Institutional Investor Morgan Stanley, Win Animal Rights resumed their focus on HLS' customers, the companies that offer contracts to keep Andrew Baker's failing company on life support.

On Sunday activists visited the home of Robert Pelzer, President and CEO of Novartis Corporation. Despite the company's recent claims to the contrary, Novartis contines to work with Huntingdon Life Sciences, prompting protesters to once again expose them for the bald-faced liars they truely are. "Puppy killer! Robert Pelzer is to blame! Primate killer! Robert Pelzer is to blame!"

Nearby residents were glad to know people were out and about naming and shaming animal abusers, as hundreds of fliers were distributed on First Avenue. Many stopped to ask questions or to chat with activists about Novartis' role in enabling the puppy killers at HLS.

A touching moment came when a young mother stopped at Pelzer's front door to drop down to her young daughter's eye level (see picture below), so she could explain to her child why the activists were standing in front of the building. She pointed repeatedly from the flyer, depicting the mutilated remains of a beagle puppy brutalized by Huntingdon Life Sciences, and pointing up at Pelzer's building. No doubt she was explaining just what kind of man Robert Pelzer is. Hey Pelzer, if you want to get some rest, do what's right and cut your ties to HLS.
