This
next week is all about AstraZeneca - get creative! Banner drops, demo tours,
die-ins, conference demos - go for it! Look here for global locations:
http://www.astrazeneca.com/?itemId=373557.
For those of you that can not do demos, etc. We ask you to contact AstraZeneca
about their dealings with HLS.
AstraZeneca used to deny that they were
a customer of Huntingdon Life
Sciences. Since 2002 they have been silent on the matter. In 2005 we were
given 100% evidence that they were funding experiments at HLS, and then
again in 2008 we have seen yet more evidence that they have been a consistent
customer of HLS.
We need to show the strength of feeling to the attention of the Board of Directors and Management team of AstraZeneca. We are calling on AstraZeneca to call off all contracts with HLS and boycott animal cruelty, shoddy research and criminal dealings.
In this alert we will provide a sample letter and details of where to send them, but feel free to write your own letters. You can find out more about the exposes of HLS by visiting www.shac.net/HLS/exposed.html

Sample E-mail
============
Dear [insert name]
It has come to our attention that your company
continues to this day
to do business with Huntingdon Life Sciences, the worlds most exposed animal
testing laboratory.
HLS have been exposed countless times for
animal cruelty. Their workers were shown on national television punching
beagle puppies in the face. If you are in any doubt about what goes on inside
the secret labs of HLS, then please read in their own words what workers
have to say and see footage filmed inside the lab:
www.shac.net/HLS/exposed/inside_hls/Inside_HLS_Full_Report.html
I am sure you will agree that what goes on inside HLS is shameful. You should also be aware that HLS have been shown on many occasions to falsify test data. Only in 2007, an employee filed a lawsuit against HLS following being sacked after he refused to falsify data.
I urge you not to side and profit from the despicable cruelty at HLS. Please turn your back on animal cruelty, shoddy work and law breaking.
Please view the SHAC website at www.shac.net
for more
information on the SHAC campaign.
We respectfully ask you that you make an
ethical decision to please
stop dealing with this terrible company.
Thank you for your time
