MORE FORTRESS AND ASTRAZENECA PROTESTS

Friday, 13th August

We started the day outside HLS' blood money lender aka Fortress Investment Group, based at 5 Saville Road, London W1S 3PD (floors 3rd, 4th and 5th). Now with their new injunction, which actually seems to bring in more activists. We spent an hour of loud chanting outside their offices until we could chant no more, with plenty of support from local people and passersby. You can rest assured that we will continue to target you until you get some morals and dump HLS, like all the other financial allies of HLS have already done.

Fortress are the main funders of the abuse and torture inside HLS and without their financial help, HLS would have very few options, so Fortress are partly responsible for allowing the killing of 500 animals every single day! Our voices were raised as we continued to speak out for the animals and the unethical business deal Fortress are involved in with HLS and they can not silence us.

Because it was a day of action in solidarity for anti-fur protesters in Sweden who have recently launched an expose and investigation into fur farming there, we went and supported a protest outside the Swedish embassy.

Next stop with, a larger group of protesters, we moved onto one of the main customers of Huntingdon: AstraZeneca, based at 15 Stanhope Gate, London W1K 1LN.

With 20 activists keeping up loud chanting, we named and shamed this disgusting company who have continued to use HLS despite all the exposes and have been caught out themselves suppressing test data, causing people's deaths and many side effects with their pseudo-science, dangerous and profiteering drugs.

Lets not forget that not only do AZ kill and torture animals at HLS and in their own labs, but this next quote from a AZ employees shows what they really think of human beings and their health: "Our objective is to neutralise customer objections to Seroquel's weight and diabetes profile" - from a voicemail left by AZ employee, Christine Ney, when talking about burying data regarding one of their drugs - Seroquel. Which so far was effected tens of thousands of people in the US and has cost the company over 200 million in court settlements, with many more yet to come...

You are a disgusting company in our own right AZ! And your animal abuse and torture just compounds your guilt. Drop HLS, AZ, as we're not going to leave you alone, until you do the right thing (for the animals).

For the animals we will fight, until all are free
