HLS: INVESTOR OF THE WEEK:

**DISCOVER FINANCIAL**

Undercover Investigation #4 Finds...

An UK group called Uncaged released several files of internal documents from HLS concerning a top secret xenotransplantation study that HLS was contracted to do by Imutran. The documents consisted on confidential dialogue between HLS and Imutran concerning the quality of research HLS was performing. Imutran on several occasions sent scathing communiqués because of HLS's inept procedures, lack of attention to protocol and time frames, and overall sloppy science.

The documents also revealed the horrific conditions and deaths of the baboons and pigs used in the heart transplant research. This expose also showed HLS to be in violation of Good Laboratory Practice laws, and in violation of the conditions the British government placed on HLS after the 1997 investigations.

The expose again landed HLS in the headlines, subject to a governmental inquiry, and saw Novartis (the parent company of Imutran) announce that it is closing it's UK operations and moving to America where there is a more hospitable climate for pharmaceutical research.

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!

**Please take the time to put your feelings and outrage into your own words, someone has to read these letters and emails. It would be much more effective if they read a veriety of letters, not just a form letter.

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 HLS stock 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.
