[IMC-UK-Features] features proposal: Eagle Asset invest millions in HLS

Sat Jun 21 11:10:10 PDT 2008

I realised that there hasn't been a large HLS shareholder since 2007 (after they all dropped) so this is going to be quite relevant news for the close hls/shac campaign I think...as by judging last years victories, this might not take very long either....but either way, this is a big change/big news in my opinion.

Proposed for; Animal Liberation, Health, UK & World.

ABSTRACT:

<a href="http://www.eagleasset.com">Eagle Assets</a> has bought over <a href="/en/2008/06/401607.html">15 million dollars</a> in vivisectors' Huntingdon Life Sciences, making them top shareholders of Europe's largest and most exposed animal testing laboratory known as Life Sciences Research, ticker symbol LSR. Activists are beginning to launch a full-scale <a href="http://miami.indymedia.org/news/2008/06/11282.php">protest campaign</a> against Eagle Assets and their parent company <a href="http://www.raymondjames.com">Raymond James</a>, which has offices all over the United States, as well as in London, Copenhagen and Munich.Since <a href="/en/regions/cambridge/2007/12/386977.html">December 2007</a> HLS has suffered from a serious lack of investment, with corporations last year selling all their shares including; TransAmerica Investment, Frontier Capital, SAC Capital, Axa, Wachovia, Alternative Investment Partners, Rathbone Brothers, Dresdner Bank, Deutsche Bank, La Grange Capital, Robeco Investment Management, Fairfield Grenwich Associates & BNP Paribas. Throughout the campaign to close HLS activists have made financial history as one by one major corporations have yielded to protester power and severed their links with the failing company.

CONTENT:

The campaign to close HLS uses evidence obtained in five undercover investigations at their different laboratories in the UK and USA where 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. HLS workers have even been caught drunk at work and dealing drugs at the labs.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.Shareholders, stockbrokers, market makers, suppliers and 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 with NO commercial bank and insurance company anywhere in the world prepared to deal with them.HLS's key weakness is their finances and by throwing the spotlight on those funding their abuse campaigners across the globe have managed to bring HLS to the brink of financial collapse.
