FORTRESS DIRECTOR HAS HOME DEMO IN LA

Saturday, 25th September

In solidarity with SHAC's Financial Focus Week, on Saturday, Los Angeles activists welcomed Fortress' Managing Director Ian Schnider to the campaign against Huntingdon Life Sciences. When you deal with HLS, Schnider, you deal with activists outside your office and home exposing the blood money deals you are profiting from of the abuse and torture of 500 animals their lives every single day.

Although Schnider hides out on a private road and covers his shameful ties with HLS from the rest of his neighborhood, megaphones and the animal activists' voices resonated throughout the block and leaflets given to neighbors revealed the real monster they live next to. Your poisonous connections will be unveiled as long as you do business with animal murdering scum like Huntingdon, Ian!

Minutes into the demonstration, Schnider's son, George Schnider, greeted activists as a "curious neighbor" (before revealing his real identity) and was promptly given a leaflet containing information about the disgusting company his father directly supports as a Director at Fortress. George was extremely generous and discussed his father's position within Fortress, where activists could find other employees and ultimately, was very supportive of our cause. Activists encouraged him to relay the message that protests will continue until Fortress drops HLS.

We won't stop until all the cages are opened and the animals are free.
