demonstration on Saturday Nov. 10 at 11:30. We will be meeting in
downtown Orlando at the corner of Church and Garland near the Cheyenne
Saloon.
In solidarity with hundreds of other activist comrades across the
globe who will be raising their fists in protest of the vile and
notoriously violent animal testing laboratory Huntingdon Life
Sciences, Central Florida activists will join in mass protest against
HLS. This is a laboratory that has been exposed in several undercover
investigations for falsifying scientific data, being drunk and high on
the job, punching a four month old beagle puppy in the face when he
cried out in pain (view this footage at insidehls.com) dissecting a
money while he was still alive and fully conscience and violating
animal welfare laws over 600 times. At HLS laboratories, 500 sentient
beings each day are violated, tortured, poisoned, butchered, burned
and mutilated to death every single day of the week- for things like
Splenda, toothpaste, viagra, pesticides and pharmaceutical drugs that
do nothing but go on to poison humans as well.
Come out an make the torture stop! Materials will be provided!
