NOVARTIS NIGHTMARE IN NETHERLANDS

Monday, 6th July

Top targets have protests - Novartis, AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

We started the Novartis Nightmare tour at the dutch Novartis Pharma headquarters in Arnhem. As we arrived workers started coming in and were named and shamed by our group of activists. Something which must be clear to Novartis by now is when you deal with HLS you will have to deal with SHAC.

SHAC is determined to close down HLS, and together we will. Our main focus is going to be on Novartis until they cut all ties with HLS. Every single day is a nightmare for the animals inside HLS. We will make sure this Monday 6th July will be a day to keep in mind of Novartis that it can become a day of nightmare for Novartis as well.

Second stop was Novartis Consumer Health in Breda. This was also a loud and angry demo. They share their office building with other companies, so it's quite a small place. The plus point of this is that they can't just hide their business from other people. Lots of people from the business park came up to us ask what this was about and against which company we are protesting. Many people we spoke to will now think of heartless murderers when they see Novartis workers passing by.
We also informed people passing by about the cruelty going on in HLS and that Novartis is as evil as HLS.

The third demo was against AstraZeneca in Zoetermeer. It was a very good and effective demo. We surrounded the building with activists to make sure they got the message from every corner of the building. People didn't show their faces, it looked like no one was inside.
You are also one of the top 3 targets Astra Zeneca! We won't stop demonstrating against you until you drop HLS.

The last demo of the day was at Bristol Myers Squibb in Woerden. We were as angry as ever about their contracts with HLS. Also surprisingly we were surrounded by quite more cops then usual. We are having an impact on you BMS, we know that and you know that. We want you to drop HLS and never ever have anything to do with this hell hole ever! Also BMS is one of the top 3 SHAC targets, so don't expect us to go away ever.
