Animals are being cut open alive. Such words are meant to incite people but in truth animals & humans are operated on everyday in medical procedures and it is totally normal and not some obscene inhumane act . The ARA hype such words in order to create hatred even though those same Knives, save lives.

> With the recent sentencing of seven activists to long prison terms in
> the UK for protesting animal torture at notorious contract-testing
> laboratory Huntingdon Life Sciences, authorities and the animal
> abusers they protect have drawn a line in the sand. Those who advocate
> effectively for animals must now either scurry for cover, or rise up
> stronger to finally abolish the exploitation, oppression, torture and
> killing of innocent non-human animals for greed, convenience and
> pleasure.
>
> On January 21, 2009, British courts sentenced seven animal rights
> activists to prison terms ranging from 4 to 11 years; the sentences
> totaled an astounding 50 years. The seven activists were members of
> the group Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, better known as SHAC, whose
> mission is to lead the global campaign to stop the killing of animals
> by Huntingdon Life Sciences. Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) is a
> contract research organization based in the United States, after
> fleeing from England as a result of the activist campaign there that
> exposed the cruelty and animal abuse taking place at HLS. They kill
> roughly 500 animals daily testing household products like oven
> cleaner, as well as pharmaceuticals for companies as big as Glaxo and
> Novartis.
>
> The activists sentenced are: Heather Nicholson – 11 years, Gregg Avery
> – 9 years, Natasha Avery – 9 years, Gavin Medd-Hall – 8 years, Daniel
> Wadham – 5 years, Daniel Amos – 4 years and Gerrah Selby – 3 years.
> Justice Butterfield, who branded the activists "urban terrorists",
> handed down the sentences after convictions of "conspiracy to
> blackmail", a charge that requires a low threshold of proof. None of
> the activists was accused of harming anyone or even causing any
> property damage.
>
> Upon hearing Justice Butterfield's remarks, Press Officer Camille
> Hankins commented: "The real terrorists are the ones that are
> torturing and killing animals at places like Huntingdon Life Sciences.
> Justice Butterfield must not have seen the videotape of the atrocities
> committed at Huntingdon Life Sciences, which included a beagle puppy
> being punched in the face and a monkey being cut open alive."
>
> Despite the imprisonment of some of the defendants for over 18 months
> as they awaited trial, SHAC has continued to plague Huntingdon Life
> Sciences. According to a recent financial statement, with outstanding
> debt of $75 million and a plummeting share price, Huntingdon Life
> Sciences recently announced that they were downsizing their company
> and planning a move back to England in hopes of securing additional
> financing to keep them afloat.
>
> In November 2008, HLS reported having lost two key contracts,
> resulting in an immediate and steep drop in share price. Huntingdon
> Life Sciences, trading under the name Life Sciences Research (ticker
> symbol LSR on the NYSE ARCA Exchange) had previously reached a high of
> $39.30 per share. After a steady and rapid decline, on January 27,
> 2009, they traded at a low of $6.73, their lowest share price in
> several years. Hankins speculated: "In light of the current economy
> and the ramping up of the global campaign against Huntingdon Life
> Sciences, it would not surprise me if they filed for bankruptcy in the
> very near future."
>
> News of the sentences elicited an immediate response from the global
> network of activists working on the campaign. Solidarity actions and
> demonstrations are being staged throughout the United Kingdom and
> around the world. In Moscow, sixty activists protested at the Moscow
> office of AstraZeneca, one of Huntingdon Life Sciences most important
> clients. In New York City, the group Win Animal Rights held 3 days of
> solidarity protests at the homes of investors and customers of
> Huntingdon Life Sciences. One protest was held at the Central Park
> West home of Andrew Baker, CEO and Chairman of HLS and another at the
> home of Robert Kelly, CEO and Chairman of Bank of New York Mellon, one
> of HLS' largest investors.

> "This latest sentencing is a wake up call. Those who suffer the brunt
> of the state's repression are those who maintain a high profile in the
> movement, not those who are clandestinely going about the business of
> animal liberation…." commented Press Officer and physician Dr. Jerry
> Vlasak "…The message is clear. Stay safe, stay free and stay anonymous
> and you can continue to fight for animal liberation by destroying
> those who exploit, torture and murder innocent animals."
>
> Neither activists nor the system as a whole can accept defeat on
> behalf of the HLS campaign, so it has become a strategic point of
> engagement affecting all animal activists. If a retreat is staged, all
> targets of protest will know activists can be waited out or crushed;
> yet if HLS goes bankrupt, every bloodthirsty multinational corporation
> on Earth will know people have the strength, the tools, and the
> strategy to make them next in line for bankruptcy. This means the
> "Battle of HLS" has become a meeting engagement, and neither activists
> nor the animals they defend can afford to lose this fight, no matter
> what the cost.

In reality these ARA anti research hate mongering hypocrites are so spiteful towards humans that they could care less if other families keep loosing loved ones to the diseases which HLS is trying to find cures for in their research. They have lost a lot of money and time in that fight against disease because of these hating mongering bigots , who hold so little regard for your human family.

I am just glad that bunch of idiots is on the other side of the big pond!

Excuse me but the article was written by an American anesthesiologist who is trying to drum up support for his hate mongering here and around the world. The crazies are here to. In fact Vlasek has asked supporters to bump off a few researchers to make sure the rest get to afraid to work in research.

Hint! Take photo's at every protest for further id of terrorists.
