HLS CEO AND CUSTOMER DEMOS CONTINUE IN NYC

Sunday, 26th July

WAR Returns to Huntingdon Life Sciences CEO Andrew Baker & Customers Bristol-Myers Squibb & Novartis

Energized by the recent national conference, AR2009, Win Animal Rights returned to the streets to continue the relentless campaign to stop the torture and death inside Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Demo #1: Andrew Baker - Chairman & CEO – Huntingdon Life Sciences

Activists kicked off the day with a protest against none other than Andrew Baker. As CEO and owner of almost 20% of the company, he is principally responsible for the horrific deaths of hundreds of animals every single day of the week. As always, the demonstrations were popular with the tour buses that frequently dashed by, and fist pumps were the norm.

One family drove by, and when the mother asked if the demo was against Baker, she and her daughter shouted "Awful people!" and gave some more thumbs up. Who could argue with that response? It seemed activists were having too much fun when the police arrived on the scene. No foul was committed and the demonstrators didn't complain too much, as the flashing lights brought even more attention to the protest.

Demo #2: Jeremy Levin - Executive - Bristol-Myers Squibb

Following Baker, activists arrived at the home of Jeremy Levin, Bristol-Myers Squibb executive. BMS continues to provide HLS with vital contracts to keep the despicable company open and as such Mr. Levin will continue to receive demonstrations. If residents had not heard about the previous BMS protests, activists felt obliged to inform them: "500 animals died today! Jeremy Levin is to blame!"

Luckily no annoying neighbors were around to threaten the peaceful protesters. Unfortunately for Levin, however, the only pedestrians present were those that wanted to learn about the campaign.

Demo #3: Dorothy Watson - General Counsel - Novartis

To wrap up the day, protesters paid another visit to Dorothy Watson, General Counsel for Novartis. As an executive for another HLS customer, Ms. Watson also has blood on her hands. Busy Broadway certainly provided activists with an excellent outreach opportunity, one they readily exploited. Many passersby reached for fliers and spoke to protesters, eager to learn about their neighbor's role in unimaginable cruelty.

Dorothy Watson doesn't appear to be listening; but, her neighbors sure are! It won't be long before Dorothy is hated by her new neighbors, just the way she was by her old neighbors who were not sorry to see her go. Some disliked her enough to make sure that activists new about her relocation. Must suck to be Dorothy Watson.
