Five BNY Branches Attacked on Long Island

Long Island, NY - In an anonymous Communique release jointly by the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front, the two groups are taking credit for attacks on five Bank of New York buildings on Long Island early this morning. The underground activists claim to have glued locks and ATM machines, spray painted slogans on all the branches, and smashed over 25 windows at BNY office in Farmingdale.

The actions are part of a larger campaign to encourage BNY to divest themselves of association with Huntington Life Sciences (HLS), a massive animal testing company based in Europe. Activists have previously targeted other corporations with association to HLS including Stephens Inc., a private investment firm which recently bailed out the besieged HLS, and Primate Products which supplies HLS with animals and testing equipment.

More information about the Animal and Earth Liberation Fronts is available from the ALF Press Office. More information on the campaign against the Bank of New York is available at www.bankofnykills.com; more information on the campaign against HLS is available at www.shacusa.net. The text of the Communique which contains details of the actions and damage follows:

To whom it may concern,

During the early morning hours of June 13th members of the Animal and Earth Liberation Fronts attacked various Bank of New York branches and offices in efforts that massive economic damages will dissuade them from further management of American Depository Receipts belonging to Huntingdon Life Sciences. HLS is responsible for the deaths of over 500 animals daily and hundreds of thousands annually. These animals are murdered in crude attempts for pesticide and pharmaceutical corporations to pursue avenues to legalize their products. Monsanto and other earth destroyers use HLS' fraudulent practices to place potentially lethal and environmentally hazardous chemicals on the public market.

This is a message to the general public. HLS does not care about the health of people, does not care about the preservation of wild lands and life, and brutalizes, probes, tortures, and murders thousands of lonely, frightened and beautiful creatures.

The Earth will be Revered; We will deliver! These Animals Need Love; We will deliver! HLS must close; and We will deliver!

The following attacks were made on June 13th:

1. Bank of New York, Huntington, Long Island Branch - Had locks glued and the slogans "BNY Invests in Murder", "Investors in Murder", and "ALF" spray painted.

2. Bank of New York, Kings Park, Long Island Branch - Was spray painted with the slogans "Bank of NY Kills Puppies" and "ALF".

3. Bank of New York, Commack, Long Island Branch - Exterior ATM machine damaged by glue and plastic strips in card slot and glue in keypad. On the building's side wall the slogans "Investors in Murder", and "Stop the Torture" were spray painted in bold letters.

4. Bank of New York, Babylon, Long Island Branch - Two exterior ATM machines were damaged by glue and plastic strips in card slot and glue in keypad. On the bank's main building various slogans were spray painted.

5. Bank of New York, Suffolk County Office Building, Farmingdale, Long Island - Over 25 windows were smashed out and the slogans "ALF" and "ELF" were spray painted behind as a warning that these actions were not random vandalism, they were planned and calculated.

Unless BNY stops trade in HLS' American Depository Receipts, they can look forward to many more nights of broken glass.

These action were dedicated to the 130 thousand animals who will perish this year for HLS' greed, and dedicated to Jeffrey "Free" Luers, an outspoken forest preservation activist, and green anarchist who was just recently incarcerated.
