Huntingdon Life Sciences
By RiggerX

Huntingdon is (was) a UK based research company who experimented on animals. They claim that the animal experiments they carry out help find cures for diseases. They don't develop any drugs at all as a matter of fact, they just test the ones they receive from other companies (on animals).

Many doctors and scientists claim that animals cannot be used to predict the effect that a drug will have on human beings. Most of the pharmaceutical industry is aware of this fact but continues to pay HLS to perform such experiments because that way they can get their products cheaply on the market without proper testing. It is also worth noting that HSL test weedkillers, pesticides, packaging, plastics, etc... on animals.

All of this has been going on during more than 50 years now, and 180.000 animals have died during their vile vivisection. Today, due to the withdrawal of the sponsors, the company is teetering on the brink of bankruptancy. In an effort to save itself, the company has taken a new name and listed itself as a U.S. company, Life Sciences Research, Inc. The new company has yet to acquire any sort of domestic backing and remains in financial limbo.

I know we don't have many members in the UK, me being the closest by. But their are also other branches in the world. So, if you want anything to do with the movement against Huntingdon, you'll be sure to find some contacts in your neighborhoods.

I don't have many more things to say, except that this madness must stop. You will find additional information on the following sites:

or you can try Google

HLS is not the only company involved in such atrocities. When you hear rumors or see hard facts of animal mistreatment (like Daisy), act. These living creatures are not capable of defending themselves against the cruelty. You even help by just treating your animal right.

Stop cruelty.
