Animal cruelty isn’t just for the conservative

banks anymore. By putting hip face on its

investment in a lab criminally exposed for

punching beagle puppies, WaMu has signaled that

it is no different than any other conventional

firm when it comes to making money at whatever

cost to the earth, the animals, and our humanity.

No amount of catchy slogans, market-tested color

schemes, and innovative teller layouts can mask

the cruelty to animals WaMu signs off on at HLS

by holding this fund.

Like all other banks though, WaMu can and should

follow the precedent set by so many other world

wide financial institutions that have seen the

ethical error of their ways and publicly divested

from the lab. With a pledge to never again

support the HLS criminal enterprise, WaMu can

serve as positive example to a business community

weary of Huntingdon’s future that compassion and

capital can intertwine. Through public protest,

closed accounts, negative publicity, and that

‘personal touch’ the international SHAC campaign

is famous for – getting one of HLS’s biggest and

most well known investors out of the picture.

================================

IF YOU ONLY CONTANT ONE PERSON:

================================

Washington Mutual Group of Funds is managed by

Gary Pokrzywinski. Gary will determine the fate

of HLS with WaMu and he needs to hear from you!

Please send him polite, but deeply informative

emails about what Huntingdon does, the dangers

they pose, and the controversy it carries. While

polite, emails need not spare Gary the gruesome

details of past investigations and the current

daily death toll made possible by investors like

WaMu.
