Frontline: HLS: INVESTOR OF THE WEEK: STEPHENS, NYC

Frontline Information Service - News 1/28/02

INVESTOR OF THE WEEK:

** STEPHENS, NEW YORK **

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

On friday, the 25th at the Regional protest in NYC it was confirmed that Stephens no longer has an office at 245 Park Ave.

They moved out on the 21st. According to Brookfield - the owners of the building - Stephens was TOLD to leave the building. This comes after countless disruptions, protests, phone calls, faxes, emails, underground actions, and their premises being plastered with stickers.

THIS IS AWESOME!

This goes to show that we are having a noticeable effect on Stephens and HLS!

Thanks to some inside information, leaked to the campaign, activists were instantly able to find out the address that Stephens has relocated to. Yet another example of how Stephens' own employees are willing to aid the campaign.

(Gee, Warren, are you the only one who supports your bloody investment in HLS?) There was a successful disruption at the new building immediately after finding out they've moved. Apparently, while activists were there, security was not even letting employees in the building inside. They were forced to stand outside and hear everything that had to be said about the new tenants in their building. It goes to show that the building management is on edge and not very comfortable about having disreputable puppy-killers like Stephens working there. Let's show them that where ever Stephens goes, trouble will follow.

They've already been kicked out of one building because of angry activists not letting them live down their investment in HLS.

Stephens just moved in less than a week ago, let's give them a taste of what goes along with having them as a tenant.

View chapters from Michelle Rokke's undercover investigation into HLS, now posted at http://www.shacusa.net

Michelle's diary offers us a horrifying glimpse into the everyday hell for the animals living there. Her records and video footage reveal shocking brutality, pyschotic tendencies of the workers, and dangerous scientific fraud.

Let her words feed your passion and fuel your activism!

Every week there is a week-long phone/e-mail blockade against one of HLS's 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 hurts - their pockets!

Hint: A great way to block the number that you are calling/faxing from is to dial *67 BEFORE you dial the number. Great for sending black faxes!

For auto e-mailing, that uses encryption devices which masks who you are: http://www.animaldefenseleague.com/investor.shtml

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 variety 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.
