In the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty urged its supporters “from the tri-state area” to join them on October 1st “as NYC becomes the battleground to SMASH Huntingdon Life Sciences and their supporters.”
A press release posted to an animal rights e-mail list promised that “On October 1st we will name, shame and annihilate those who see fit to make it possible for HLS to poison and brutally kill around 500 animals every day.”
SHAC notes that, “NYC is chock full of companies that provide financial support, financial services, and contracts to kill and its time we held them accountable.” The press release promises that they will target multiple businesses on October 1st.
