Frontline: HLS INVESTOR OF THE WEEK - KNIGHT TRADING GROUP, INC.

Frontline Information Service - News 5/08/01


*******HLS: INVESTOR OF THE WEEK*******
*KNIGHT TRADING GROUP INC*

Huntingdon's "Secrets" Exposed

HLS's motto is "Your Secret is Our Secret." However, some of its loathsome secrets have been revealed to the world through a series of undercover investigations. In 1997, animal rights organizations in the U.S. and England infiltrated HLS and emerged with shocking video coverage that would change the public's view of HLS forever. Extensive footage from both locations showed laboratory workers taunting and abusing animals as they were subjected to invasive procedures and chemical tests. In the UK, HLS workers were caught on video while punching beagle puppies in the face. Clandestine video footage from the NJ facility showed workers shoving and throwing monkeys into cages, jeering at them while performing procedures and in one gruesome scene, a supposedly "post-mortem" dissection was performed on a monkey who was still alive, though partially sedated.

It is more important, now than ever, that we target those that invest their money into these animal abusers. There is the recent pull out of the investor, Charles Schwab-which held over 5 million shares of HLS stock. British Biotech ended their business with HLS. Winterflood securites and Kleinworth Dresdner Wassersteinand, who were HLS's only remaining market maker, ended ties. Merrill Lynch, TD Waterhouse, and Citibank all severed their link with HLS. HLS stock price falls and falls, and they are off the New Stock Exchange.

And within the past few weeks: Hargreaves Lansdown in Bristol decided that they would longer be involved with HLS. Allfirst Financial has withdrawn from HLS, and Diamyd Medical of Stckholm as well!!

Every week there will be a week-long phone/e-mail blockade against one of HLS investors. Some of these investors will be big companies and others will be private investors. We will target a new investor each week. We need EVERYONE to take a few minutes each day and let these investors know that by supporting HLS, they are supporting animal abuse and torture.

Show them that WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Let's hit them where it hurt-their pockets!

SAMPLE LETTER:

I am writing to urge you to discontinue your investment with Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). Animals are sentient, living beings and should not be used for experimentation or anger relief for staff members. Since the publicity, I am certain you are now aware of the horrendous pain and suffering animals at Huntingdon endure. Tests which force the animals to consume toxic doses of various chemicals, inhale noxious fumes, and have caustic chemicals applied to their raw skin is horrendous. What is even more outlandish is documentation showing staff throwing beagle puppies against walls and punching them in the face. This is simply not good business. There are numerous companies discontinuing animal experimentation and instead, using computer simulations and the vast amount of previously accumulated data.

You have the power and the ability to do something about the excruciating pain an annual 180,000 animals suffer. First, as an investor, you can demand they change their practices and you can demand the staff have psychological treatment. Second, you can cease your ownership of 2.83% of HLS and not invest in any other company practicing archaic and brutal animal research.

I also encourage you to look beyond the bottom line when making future investments. Compassionate individuals, like yourself, with the gift of financial resources to invest can create long-term, far-reaching consequences toward a more benevolent world.
