Support for housing company after threats by dog racing supporters allegation

Lord Henry Ashton of Hyde is a regular financial contributor to bloodsports, allows hunts to go on his land and rides with the Heythrop Hunt in Gloucestershire, as have generations of his family. Henry has also, in recent weeks, acted in a violent manner and held hunt monitors and saboteurs on his land.

Following the formation of Greater London Action for Animals (GLAA) we announced that our first protest action would be outside Hamleys in London, due to their use of penguins as part of an in-store promotion.

BACKGROUND

London being the capital city of England holds all the main focuses and lobby groups for industries which use and exploit animals in their day-to-day business; be it the vivisection industry, meat trade, fur …

Ladbrokes chief slammed by campaigners after conference jokes

London Day of Action Against the Lab Animal Trade

Wednesday 4th August

Meet 11am at Cannon Street Tube (EC4N 6AP)

Today, Sat 24th April, saw the annual World Day for Animals in Laboratories (WDAIL) march through the centre of London. Attracting animal rights campaigners from across the country, the march is considered the most important of the year following it's return last year after a lengthy absence.

Keeping up the pressure on Fortress (5 Saville Row) we spent another couple of hours over their lunch-break leafletting and telling all their neighbours exactly the kind of filthy business Fortress are involved in. We received more confirmation that Fortress are actually there from people who work for them, apart from their returning their signs to their position in the recep…

Friday, 2nd October

Following on from the protest at Fortress, activist thought that because they were in the neighbourhood, we couldn't ignore one of our 'favorite' protest sites; AstraZeneca on Stanhope Gate.

SHACtivists arrived and immediately got on the megaphones at the front and the back of AZ's premises, doors were quickly closed, shutters and curtains draw, leaving chauffeurs in big cars…

Friday, 2nd October

At lunchtime, a dozen London activists went to 5 Savile Row, the office address of Fortress Investment (FCF Ltd), where we had a loud and focused demo naming and shaming Fortress for their sneaky, under-hand dealings with HLS/LSR, for trying to hide their involvement with HLS in 'mafia style' financial dealings by getting other companies to start shell companies to front their…

Early this afternoon, 3 activists walked into Somerset House for London Fashion Weekend and into the exhibit for The London Fur Company. As one activist locked her friend to a stand and proceeded to superglue herself around another, the third glued herself to a stand near the door and they began to shout.

As the rain fell on London today, it set the mood for a lively demo outside The Bloomsbury Hotel, 16-22 Great Russel Street, London WC1 3NN. We were at the location as the pharmaceutical community have decided to hold a Drug 'Safety' Conference at the hotel for a whole week, with many of HLS' customers attending! Feel free to contact the hotel on 0207 7347 1000 or even pay them a visit expressing …

Lee Hall, notorious defender of state oppression of animal activists and author of the ridiculous ‘Capers in the Churchyard, Animal Activism in the Age of Terror' was scheduled to give a talk today (Sunday Sep 6th) at the London Vegan Festival. Things didn't work out quite as she, or the festival, had planned however. If Hall was seriously entertaining the notion that she could fly to England and …

On a sunny afternoon, SHAC London decided to meet up for an AstraZeneca demo and this week due to the events in Europe, concerning one Daniel Vasella, of Novartis we were joined by a camera crew from the Swiss television network, TSR.

They had lots of questions, all press is good press! We told them about the 7 exposes in the past 12 years at HLS, of the cruelty, scientific fraud, etc

Hey AZ, you're getting a bit paranoid or what?

Some of SHAC London decided to meet up for a AstraZeneca demo this afternoon and we were all raring to go as we hadn't met up for a little while, when we were approached by a copper. Apparently, a rather paranoid Duty Inspector had gotten wind of our demo so decided to send a car load of bobbies down to see what the crack was.

AstraZeneca, 15 Stanhope Gate, London, W1K 1LN

This morning we made a surprise visit to AstraZeneca in one of the richest parts of London - near the US Embassy. It was something that the staff definitely did not want to see as they came into work. Pathetic workers struggled to pull their blinds down to shield their eyes from the placards we were holding. They might not want to know the truth, but…

Tuesday, 26th May

We met up at Bank at 11:30 and then moved off to our first demo of the day outside the offices of the second largest NYSE shareholder, Legg Mason. We call upon Legg Mason to use their influence as a part owner of the NYSE, to get NYSE Euronext to de list HLS (LSR). We then went to NYSE Euronext itself, Vanguard (largest institutional shareholder of HLS), AstraZeneca (HLS custome…

Ends in confirmation that BNY Mellon have sold all their LSR shares

Barclays also drop HLS, see - https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/05/430193.html

SHAC were back out on the streets in London again today at arguably the most visible SHAC target in the world - Barclays Bank in Piccadilly Circus. We stayed for nearly 2 hours and gave out hundreds of leaflets telling everyone what a disgusting company Barclays are for continuing to be the largest shareholder in the disgraced and cruel Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Wednesday, 6th May

We met at Bank in the centre of London and went to Legg Mason at 75 King William Street to ask them to put pressure on the NYSE, as they own a large amount of their shares and have the ability to get the NYSE to ditch HLS. Especially when HLS's share price is low and they are probably still breaking the minimum listing standards for the NYSE. Do the NYSE still list HLS (LSR) on…

Friday, 1st May



AstraZeneca were holding their AGM (Annual General Meeting) in London today, so we decided to pay them a visit and tell their shareholders exactly what kind of company they were investing in.

The AGM didn't start until the afternoon, so we began the day at their offices on Stanhope Gate to get them warmed up.

Friday, 24th April

Today protests for World Day for Animals in Laboratories, a UN recognised global day against animal experimentation, we continued with demos in the city. Barclays on Minories was first up today. This branch is a good place to do a really visual demo and can get really busy. They still own their 400,000 shares in HLS and over 13,500,000 in the NYSE (still the largest shareholder…

We thought as it was World Week for animals in Labs we would pay a special midweek visit to some of London's most disgusting targets. We started at Astra Zeneca, 15 Stanhope Gate, London W1K 1LN, this company was exposed (and filmed) recently conducting horrific and brutal experiments on wild caught primates inside HLS. Astra Zeneca remains one of our biggest and sickest targets. This is a company…

Wednesday, 15th April

We started our first day of demonstrations for a while on Wednesday since the excitement and heavy-handed policing of the G20. We surprised NYSE / Euronext with a loud demo outside of their injunction in Cousin Lane for about 2 hours. These financial companies are viewed very dimly by the public and the media at the moment, and we used megaphones to tell them just how disgus…

Friday, 20th March

SHAC London go visit some more sick companies.

Wednesday, 18th March

Protests at main LSR shareholder and government collaborators.

A different feel for demos today, as SHAC went into SOCPA-zone to demonstrate. Very reluctantly we 'got permission' for our 4 protests, and so we started at Barclays next to the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, just next to parliament.

Friday, 13th March

We started today's London protests against TIAA-CREF at 33 Cavendish Square just off Oxford Circus. This equity fund has over 78,000 shares in torture of innocent animals inside Huntingdon Life Sciences and we were there louder than before to let them know that their investment in animal suffering would not be tolerated.
