HLS CUSTOMER & SUPPLIER - FISHER HAVE MORE PROTESTS

Friday, 6th November

Fisher Clinical Services, Langhurst Road, Horsham, RH12 4QD.

If you speak to your average security guard, they may be able to regale you with some stories or anecdotes of things that have happened during the course of their careers. Perhaps tales of graffiti, vandalism, break-ins, maybe even the apprehension of a criminal. Few, however, can ever claim they have come face to face with a human-sized, mortally wounded rabbit brandishing a megaphone.

And that's exactly what happened on Friday when we demonstrated against Fisher Clinical Services. Luckily for them, the rabbit came in peace - as one activist pointed out to a harrassing security guard.

While we all chanted and shouted through our megaphones by the front gates, it was hard to imagine that the workers would not be able to hear us, due to the massive volume of our echoes.

Nevertheless, just in case, two activists flanked the side of their building via a convenient public footpath which took them just metres away from the main part of their site; seperated only by a fence. From here our activists again revealed the truth for anyone that didn't know: that their company helps HLS torture and murder 500 animals every day. After chanting, shouting, informing and registering their disgust to the workers, the activists returned to the entrance road, joining another, who had remained with our photo placards to remind everyone going in and leaving of the pain and abuse they are a part of.

Three of us shouted to each worker who went past in their car about what evil they were a part of, while two activists who had kept their post by the gates further up the road, continued their shouting towards the workers in the buildings.

We questioned whether or not they'd heard a puppy screaming? Or whether those same puppies ever drowned in their own blood when they'd had their throats cut? The guards at the front remained silent. Frankly, they should know. It's what they're a part of.

After a long time shouting and chanting, and a momentary visit from the police which yielded no results for Fisher, we left. But not before we reminded them that we would be back. Which we will because we refuse to stand for the abuse they're a part of.

Until next time!
