HLS: INVESTOR OF THE WEEK

**STATE STREET CORPORATION**

************************************************************************

MARKET MAKER PULLS OUT OF HLS!!!

From: vrivas@ladenburg.com (Victor Rivas)

Thank you for you e-mail. Please be advised as of yesterday 8/6/01 we have ceased to be a market maker in Huntingdon Life Sciences, after we became aware of the animal cruelty issues. Thank you again for bringing this issue to our attention.

On August 7 this message was received from Victor Rivas, who is the Chairman and CEO declaring that his company; Laudenburg, Thalmann & co. have ceased their involvement with HLS as market makers based on animal cruelty issues. This was after ONE day as the Investor of the Week!!!!

THIS is what WE can accomplish!!

Let this week's investor know what you think, and let them know that we will NOT stop until they have ceased their involvement with HLS!!!

Every week there will be a week-long phone/e-mail blockade against one of HLS investors. Some of these investors will be large 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!

**IF YOU ARE IN THE NJ/LI AREA, COME OUT AND VOICE YOUR DISGUST OF THE BANK OF NY. THERE IS A PROTEST AT A DIFFERENT BNY LOCATION EVERY WEEK! Check the protest schedule at: http://www.adl-online.com

**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.
