[CloseHLS] HLS exposed yet AGAIN! Five Times Now!

 

 

 

Yet More Scandal At Huntingdon Life Sciences

In October 2000, just weeks after the xenotransplantation programme

carried out at Huntingdon Life Sciences in collaboration with Imutran was

exposed in the The Daily Express, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty received

documents, photographs and video footage taken inside Huntingdon Life

SciencesÕs site at Occold in Suffolk.

 

The material received by the campaign gave us shocking evidence of:

 

a baboon escaping from an HLS lab,

low staff morale,

drunkenness,

animal suffering,

drug-taking on site,

gross incompetence,

high levels of absenteeism,

safety regulations being flouted.

Video footage shows the investigator wandering the site freely,

completely unchallenged, entering units and rooms at will. So much for

client confidentiality and security. The documents will prove a major

embarrassment for HLS's customers exposed in the documents. We have

confidential information regarding primate toxicology experiments paid

for by major pharmaceutical companies such as Glaxo Wellcome, Monsanto,

Du Pont and Roche.

 

Drug-Taking

One set of documents show that animal technician James Berry took the

drug speed on site and offered it to several other workers. Greg Avery of

Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty stated: " It is unbeliievable that whilst

HLS are saying things have changed, we can prove that at least one animal

technician was on drugs at HLS. "

 

Baboon Escape

During the exposŽ an HLS worker was filmed admitting that a baboon had

escaped from HLS's site at Huntingdon. She said " [the baboon] legged it

across the A1. It ended up in the plant room. The engineers went up there

and left the door open and it fucked off across the A1. " Greg Avery

commented: " Just weeks after it was proved that some of the primates

inside HLS were contaminated with the deadly Herpes B virus, we now find

out that one escaped into the Cambridgeshire countryside. The public

health risks of this are massive. " Greg Avery stated: " HLS have now been

infiltrated and exposed 5 times. How much more evidence do the Home

Office require before they close this shambolic company down? " Stop

Huntingdon Animal Cruelty can provide video footage, photographs and

documents from inside HLS's Eye Research Centre in Suffolk.
