WAR WEEKEND OF ACTION IN NEW YORK STARTS WITH BAKER DEMO

Saturday, January 17th

IN SOLIDARITY WITH UK SHAC 7 - DAY 1

WAR launches three days of Weekend Action, starting with Baker Protest

On Monday, January 19, 2009 seven British activists are scheduled to begin sentencing hearings. Win Animal Rights dedicates this weekend of action to those activists who have temporarily been forcibly removed from the campaign to stop the killing at Huntingdon Life Sciences. We honor and respect you and stand with you in solidarity.

Andrew Baker - Chairman & CEO of Huntingdon Life Sciences

The man who is most directly involved with and accountable for the atrocities that occur at Huntingdon Life Sciences is Andrew Baker. Baker acts as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Huntingdon Life Sciences. He is also their largest personal investor holding approximately 25% of LSR’s shares. Conveniently, Baker resides in a multi-million dollar condo overlooking Central Park.

Eighteen activists gathered on Saturday in sub-freezing temperature to give voice to the suffering of the 70,000 animals imprisoned at Huntingdon Life Sciences. The weather was brutal. Temperatures in the single digits made this the coldest day of this winter season. Ever mindful of the suffering of the animals at HLS, the dauntless activists held the line despite the frigid weather conditions.

Voices rang strong and true and echoed up Central Park West. The chanting could be heard from many blocks away. “For the animals we will fight, how does Baker sleep at night?”….and “Vivisection, Lies and Death….Free the Animals A.L.F” were heard from one end of the street to the next. Literature was distributed in an effort to educate Andrew Baker’s neighbors.

A large banner proclaiming about Andrew Baker involvement at HLS and a second large banner clearly showing the bloody mutilated remains of a beagle puppy was held by activists for all to see. Also, protesters carried a new series of posters with large pictures of Andrew Baker coupled with pictures of animals brutalized and killed by Huntingdon Life Sciences. These were quite the attention-getter. Another poster featured a picture of the HLS laboratory in East Millstone, New Jersey along with the words: “Death Camp for Innocent Animals”.

A New York Times news crew was in attendance and interviewed both activists and people from Baker’s building. Activists found it interesting that the doormen at Baker’s building did not even attempt to pass off the lie that Baker no longer resided in the building. Hopefully, that will put that unsubstantiated rumor to rest.

Protests will continue at this location until the bloodshed at Huntingdon Life Sciences is stopped. Activists have vowed to spend less time at Baker’s personal residence as they have accepted the fact that no amount of shaming Andrew Baker will influence his blood lust and greed. Campaign efforts will instead be increased at the homes of HLS customers and investors. The protest concluded with WAR’s trademark chant…..”We’ll be back”
