What is Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS)?

Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) is a notorious animal testing lab in East

Millstone, New Jersey that is being sued by the Society for the Prevention

of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) for violating animal welfare laws over 600

times. HLS workers were exposed in five separate investigations between

1997 and 2006 for crimes including punching four-month-old beagle puppies

in the face, dissecting live primates, and being intoxicated while on the

job. HLS was also repeatedly found to have been falsifying scientific

data, and as a result drugs tested \"safe\" at HLS have gone on to kill

hundreds of people and hospitalize tens of thousands.

Inside Huntingdon's labs, animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, primates,

fish, birds, rats and mice are forced to inhale and ingest toxic doses of

pesticides, household cleaners, food additives, coffee sweeteners, diet

pills, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. The testing process usually

lasts for weeks or months, during which the animals suffer severe

reactions including vomiting, bleeding, paralysis, hemorrhaging,

infections, and death. At the end of each study, all animals are killed

and dissected. All of this is done to put out products that - due to HLS's

track record of sloppy science and scientific fraud - have caused

countless deaths and hospitalizations of people.

Who Wants That?

No one. In the last several years, HLS has lost all of their institutional

investors, been de-listed from nearly every stock exchange in the world,

and lost many of their top customers. Over 300 former business partners -

such as CitiBank, UBS Global Capital, Merck, Johnson and Johnson, Fidelity

Investments, Marsh, and Deloitte and Touche - have vowed never to work

with HLS again. An ongoing global campaign is working to ensure that other

companies stop supporting HLS's cruelty to animals and people, so that HLS

is shut down for good.
