MORE HLS & AMEDIS HOME VISITS 9/11/02 On Saturday evening activists met up in Cambridgeshire to remind those close to the heart of HLS that they are on the blacklist of the animal rights movement. SHAG was sent the following demo report anonymously: "First stop HLS pathologist Dr David Crook. This man quite literally cuts up animals at HLS. His street was soon filled with activists shouting at his home. T e air horns and megaphones were used to good effect as all the neighbors came out to learn all about the puppy killer that lives in their street. Home visit number 2 was Brian Cass and Frank Bonner who live on the same street. Activists arrived as people were gathering up the road for a firework display so the whole town got to hear about Cass and Bonner. A load of noise was made and the neighbors came piling out to see what the fuss was about. Many were rather disgruntled at the noise. If they have a HLS director on their street it is their choice. They were advised to ask Cass and Bonner to leave the area. Simple. Onto the home of an Amedis director where police and security guards were_waiting already. Job done without even getting out of the car. Off people went to the home of another Amedis director Professor Bains. Security were sittimg on the drive waiting but that did not stop fliers being thrown all over his garden and one hell of a noise being made. At the same time as this was happening Jean Verney, also a director of Amedis, was being subjected to a noisy home demo and shortly after one group of activists left another arrived to carry on the demo. Amedis - you can pay for security to sit outside your homes but you can not stop us
ÂŽ coming to your homes because you all live in public places and we are all members of the public so we'll be seeing you on the next one!"

FETCH EUROPE HOME DEMOS "Two nights in a row this week the people who run Fetch Europe (animal importers for HLS) have had activists outside their home in the early hours of the morning using air horns, megaphones and whistles to let these people know there is no rest for them while they send animals to die at HLS. Let us never forget Barry Horne and his courageous actions against scum and let us all pay tribute to this brave, inspiring man in whatever way we can."
MORE MARSH HOME VISITS 10/11/02 "On Sunday we carried out home demos on five Marsh directors in London. We managed to catch the first two by surprise. Their streets are very enclosed so any noise really does stir up a lot of people. You can imagine just what an effect megaphones and airhorns had. We had the police with us for the next three but as usual they just made things worse. Quite what all the directors' neighbours think when they see 30 activists plus well over 50 coppers in the street outside is anyone's guess. All in all we had a really effective day."

DIRECTOR SELLS SHARES It becomes apparent how effective targeting companies associated with HLS directors is when we see that Kirby Cramer, HLS director and long-time player in the vivisection industry, has sold HALF his HLS shares at a considerable loss and now only owns less than 5% of LSR. Coincidentally this happened after details of all the companies he is involved in and/or a director of were published in SHACUSA's newsletter and these companies started to be targetted hard by activists worldwide. ACTION WORKS.
WHO ARE AMEDIS? Amedis are a company that HLS director Professor John Caldwell is also a director of. It wouldn't need a rocket scientist to make an educated guess that Amedis are a customer of HLS as well. Putting pressure on Amedis puts pressure on Caldwell - so contact Amedis and ask them to sever their links with HLS and ask John Caldwell to resign.

MARSH FEELING THE HEAT Marsh are getting a hammering and the cracks are showing. Activists worldwide are giving them hell, and this culminated in loads of hard-hitting actions against their offices and directors in memory of Barry Horne who died on hunger strike fighting ¡for the animals til the bitter end. Hamish Ritchie, overall head of Marsh McLennan UK and Marsh Europe, has been forced to resign from Halma, a huge company he is - or rather - was a director of prior to a week of nationwide actions against their offices in the UK. In a pathetic attempt to put a stop t o home demos the National Clown Squad arrested and remanded 5 activists, but as usual their attempts to stifle legitimate protest failed, and there have been even more home demos than before, and at far more unsociable hours! It is VITAL that you redouble your actions to put pressure on Marsh to sever their links with HLS - remember a company with no insurance is a company that has to close. Marsh are the biggest insurance brokers worldwide , and when they drop HLS it will be a grave body blow to the lab. Contact Marsh and ask them to justify their involvement with this criminal company:

If I told you about a security product that is used to encrypt data and emails that is used by M 16, would you be interested? This product has still not been cracked after years of trying by the security services. If I also told you this product was free you would want to know where to get it from, right? Well look to your right and you will see that we now offer PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) FREE on the merchandise list. PGP comes with simple step by step instructions and means that emails you encrypt to PGP are unreadable except by you and anyone you decide can read them. You can also wipe sensitive data securely and encrypt files on your desktop. PGP sho.uld be used by every sab group , animal rights group and individual in the UK. You may not be
about to raid a lab but why let them get away with snooping into YOUR private business? For example how many times have sab groups planned a secret hit on a hunt or a local AR demo only to find that the police are already there? With PGP all the information could be transmitted to each other much more securely. I must strike a note of caution though. PGP does not mean that you can email loads of mad stuff nor does it mean that you should ever keep the same mad stuff on your computer thinking that you are 100% safe as there is no such thing as 100% safe. PG P is only as good as the people using it. I have added the last few lines to balance things up and to be fair but please please do not let this put you off ordering it as yes, it may never be 100% but then what is? One thing is for sure, it's a very useful tool and it could make the difference between success and failure. PGP puts you several steps ahead of the game and if M 16 use it it can't be all that bad can it? So please order it and try it.
ALF actions accross the world
UK Several months ago we exposed the Cambridge Pet Crematorium's involvement with HLS and many other laboratories nationwide, including Cambridge University where vicious, horrific brain experiments on monkeys were filmed. Despite pressure from cfll of you, Cambridge Pet Crematorium continue to work for HLS and advertise their 'caring' family pet cremation services in Your Cat and Your Dog magazines, and vets' surgeries nationwide. We have been contacted by many horrified people whose animals have been cremated and buried at CPC alongside the furnaces burning the bodies of tortured, mutilated animals from the labs. CPC are a disgusting, hypocritical company - and they are providing a much-needed service to HLS. It is time to really put pressure on them to sever their links with HLS. We have done a new leaflet - please contact every vet in your area - get your local yellow pages and look them all up - visit their surgeries, talk to the vets and veterinary nurses, leave leaflets, organise yourselves to do a few hours' leafleting there and get the local press to come along. We are confident that many vets will stop using CPC once it affects their business .and their clients start complaining. Time to put the screws on CPC - let's make them realise maybe _ dealing with animal abusers HLS isn't such a good idea after all ...

Hey! This ain't no nice letter ¡to my M.P. l"m writing h:ere.. 11m writing: to a Marsh dh¡ector - know what I mean?
"On Saturday night a group of activists visited the home of Marsh director Julian Atkinson and sprayed slogans throughout his village and along the road where he lives. Wording such as "ALF Is Watching", "Marsh Puppy Killer", "ALF Is Getting Closer", "Scum" and "Julian Atkinson Kills Animals" was left in bright red paint. Easy, effective action. YOU ARE THE ALF. We continue to repeatedly hit Marsh directors until they sever all links with HLS. For the animals, In memory of Barry Horne. ALF"
NEW ZEALAND "In the early hours of this morning we paid a visit to Marsh Executive Director J W Bitcheno of Epsom, Auckland and redecorated one of his vehicles with paint stripper and his pavement with spray paint letting his neighbours know what an animal abusing scumbag lives in their area." This action was also dedicated to Barry Horne.
USA "Tonight 11/6/02 we stopped by the home of Mark Bibi and made a bloody mess of the place. The house was covered with red paint and we sprayed slogans denouncing his work for HLS, leaving the home almost as bloody as his palms! We tinkered with his daughter's car, painted that up too, and finished the masterpiece with a boulder through the windshield! Mark Bibi serves as a financial advisor and tax lawyer to HLS and director to Focused Healthcare Partners where he and Andrew Baker think up new ways to rob their investors and throw that money into Huntingdon Life Sciences. This action was inspired by the spirit of Barry Horne, an activist and hero who passed away one year ago while fighting to better the lives of animals across the planet. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts Barry. The ALF"
