Fortress Investment update and Schering Plough email alert

1) Fortress Update

Recently, you were sent an alert about Fortress Investment Group who have lent HLS $30 million since 2006 to help prop up their animal torture. With the help of Fortress' loan over the past 3 years HLS have continued to torture and kill about 540,000 animals.

After demonstrations in London and New York, Fortress made a false statement saying that they not longer have a loan with HLS. Also, to try and take the heat off them, they have colluded with HLS/LSR to create yet another front company - River Partners of which they say have taken over the loan, this company physically doesn't exist, it is just another shell company that Fortress have used like in the past with BDO and Sub Anchor.

We call upon everyone near a Fortress office location to put pressure on them and to ensure them that until they actually de-invest with HLS and actually prove it. SHAC and the global animal rights movement will continue to target them for the disgusting liars there are!

Fortress Investments Group offices can be found here:

Please let them know what you think of their dealings with HLS.

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 data. 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
