UPDATE: Wachovia Bails On HLS/LSRI!
11/20/07: Wachovia sells all its shares HLS/LSRI, a contract research lab cited for animal cruelty in 7
investigations. Undercover
footage reveals HLS techs who kill dogs when they flood their lungs with toxins meant for stomachs. In one
clip, a technician punches a
screaming 4-month-old beagle's face. During a presumed post-mortem dissection, a tech slice into the chest
of a convulsing monkey.
Routine blunders. This is HLS.
HLS Dropout News
1. UNIPHARMA DUMPS HLS
9/10/07, from closehls@closehls.net: Yet another company has
communicated that
they will no longer be doing business with Huntingdon. With more and more customers no longer doing
business, it's only a matter of time
until HLS is closed for good. With an upsurge of demonstrations after two major tours, there's no stopping
activists on the warpath to shut
them down for good!
"We at Unipharma, s.a. didn't know about HLS a year ago. We'd like you to know that we or our
collaborators have no intention of dealing
with HLS now or in the future. Additionally Unipharma, s.a. condemns firmly the treatment that some firms
and people could carry on with
animals."
2. FOUR SHAREHOLDERS SELL OUT + MORE EXPOSED
from closehls.net/current/shareholders: In early
July, Dresdner/Allianz
sold all their HLS shares, and four more institutional shareholders sold all shares in Huntingdon after
campaign pressure. LaGrange
Capital, Deutsche Bank, Fairfield Greenwich Associates, and Robeco all caved but it's not over yet. We've
found four more. Wachovia (since
sold), AXA, BNP Paribas, and Merrill Lynch are exposed for trading shares in death. They've already seen
protests in Europe. No hiding in the
U.S. either!

Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to express my concern about your firm's 92,600 shares in LSRI (Life Science
Research - Huntingdon Life Sciences). As a
shareholder in LSRI, Wachovia supplies a financial lifeline to a research laboratory
that kills an average 500 animals each day for experiments
"only reliable 5-25% of the time," one record contends.
Documentation from six investigations has exposed Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) for
multiple breaches of the U.S. Animal
Welfare Act, the arrest of workers on animal cruelty charges, more than 520
infringements of Good Laboratory Practice in England, and a
$50,000 payoff to the U.S. Agriculture Department for misstated records and animal
welfare violations.
I respectfully ask you to join the global list of customers, suppliers, and
financiers that severed ties with HLS after learning
about the laboratory's habitual falsification of data and animal cruelty.
As recently as late 2005, two former HLS employees from the Beagle Unit left their
jobs distressed over the animal suffering
witnessed daily for 12 months. According to their tape-recorded testimonial, animals
are inadequately anesthetized before invasive
procedures, such as painful extraction of bone marrow from the chest bone.
Careless workers transfer blood into the wrong tubes. "One license holder would go in
and out about five times with the same
needle, not hitting the vein," the one-time employee maintains. "I saw co-workers
grab [dogs] by the scruff, shout and swear at them, swing
them by the scruff and slap them."
I've viewed investigative footage of HLS technicians who kill dogs by flooding their
lungs with toxic materials meant for the
animals' stomachs. In one video clip, a technician repeatedly punches a screaming 4-
month-old beagle in the face. During a supposedly
post-mortem dissection, another tech slices into the chest of a convulsing monkey.
I am haunted by the verifiable cruelty inside this laboratory. That is why I have
taken the time to bring these disturbing
images to your attention. Many labs now fulfill research criterion with sophisticated
non-animal methods that (unlike animal testing) yield data
applicable to human health and safety. HLS, on the other hand, abuses animals for
invalid and redundant experiments.
You likely find deliberate animal cruelty as unconscionable as I do. I urge Wachovia
to divest its shares in LSRI and refuse to
support Huntingdon Life Sciences.
Thank you for your valuable time and consideration,
YOUR FULL NAME

about web petitions
When you use the web petition instead of direct-send, your comments — and everyone else's — come from one place: Our website server.
WEB PETITIONS REQUIRE THE LEAST EFFORT, BUT SOMETIMES CAN:
- Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
- Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.
