Could I also propose for the feature to go in Indymedia Cambridge? As the demo at HLS after is in cambridgeshire.  Thanks again for helping, i updated the html with the link/content and included it below.  --- ABSTRACT On the 12th July, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) will be holding a national march and rally to show the mass opposition to the fraudulent vivisection industry and the vile 'experiments' at Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). SHAC is an international campaign aiming to close HLS, the largest contract testing laboratory in Europe.<P>The rally in the park will include info stalls and food/drink from Veggies before campaigners march through Peterborough. There will then be a demonstration in Alconbury to meet the animal abusers who kill 500 animals every day of the week to test products such as weed killer, food colourings and drugs.<P><b>Details:</b> <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/400891.html#additions"><b>Info and times for rally, march and demo</b></a><p><b>Newswire:</b> <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/401481.html">Dispatch from Andy Stepanian (SHAC 7)</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/400948.html">HLS Supplier DHL trashed for Active Slaughter</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/400823.html">Novartis Global Week of Action Roundup</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/05/399524.html">Time For Action 4 - SHAC Need Your Footage + Trailer</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/05/398896.html">Last Primate Lab in Austria to Close!</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/05/398774.html">Staples lies and beagles die</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/05/398065.html">Message from SHAC: May Raids Anniversary</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397876.html">SHAC May Raids Anniversary</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397547.html">ALF torch Staples trucks</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397198.html">PIA Stop Beagle Flights</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397171.html">Sciencelink animal lab has been abandoned</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/03/394970.html">Novartis HQ painted and smashed (Video)</a><p><b>Previous march (Novartis):</b> <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397775.html">SHAC Report</a>  | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397667.html">Barriers dismantled</a> | <b>Pictures:</b> <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397775.html">1</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397744.html">2</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397673.html">3</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397667.html#additions">4</a> <b>Videos:</b> <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397794.html">1</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/04/397610.html">2</a><p><b>Previous features:</b> <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/08/321837.html">Victory for animal rights campaigners</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/10/298852.html">Activist Imprisoned for Shouting</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2004/06/292675.html">Fisher Scientific Embarrassed Over Links with HLS</a> | <a href="SHAC World Day for Lab Animals">SHAC World Day for Lab Animals</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/11/282089.html">Asahi Glass Protesters Harassed by Police</a> | <a href="https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/12/283243.html">"March Against the Murderers"</a><p><b>Links:</b> <a href="http://www.shac.net">SHAC-UK</a> | <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shacukprisonersupport">SHAC-UK Prisoner Support</a> | <a href="http://www.veggies.org.uk">Veggies</a> | <a href="http://www.antispe.tk">Antispeciesist Action</a> | <a href="http://www.arcops.wordpress.com">Animal Rights CopWatch</a> CONTENT:  Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty was set with the sole aim of closing HLS down. SHAC campaigns for the closure of HLS using evidence obtained in five undercover investigations at their different laboratories in the UK and USA. The campaign was set up at the end of 1999 by a group of activists who had successfully closed down Consort kennels and Hillgrove cat farm. Both campaigns ended with the businesses closing down and hundreds of animals being safely rehomed instead of tortured in labs.<p>HLS workers have been caught on film punching puppies in the face, simulating sex with animals in their care, cutting open primates while they are still alive and falsifying experiments to get products on the market. We can also prove that HLS workers have been caught drunk at work and dealing drugs at the labs.<p> Huntingdon Life Sciences have a criminal record from a British court of law for breaking the Companies' Act. They are the only UK laboratory to ever have their licence revoked by the government.<p>Shareholders, stockbrokers, market makers, suppliers or clients have all dumped HLS, including the world's largest companies; all four main high street banks in the UK, the world's largest financial institution, the world's second largest bank and the world's largest insurance broker. Huntingdon are $89 million dollars in debt and with NO commercial bank and insurance company anywhere in the world prepared to deal with them.
