SATURDAY, April 27th @ 10:00AM
The animals tortured in HLS labs don't get the weekend off, so why should those who profit from their deaths? Saturday we will be meeting again at Westwood Park and traveling to the homes of those responsible for the horrors within HLS. The directions and location of Westwood Park is above. Meet there on time and we will be moving the demonstrations elsewhere.

Date: Saturday, April 27, 2002

From, "The Nature of Wellness", 1999: "Increasing numbers of scientists agree that the only way to deal with our mounting health problems is to abolish the medieval ritual of experimental research on animals and engage in Real Medicine: a medicine based on prevention, clinical research (the observation and treatment of human beings suffering from human diseases) and, above all, logic and common sense."Contact: Gael Murphy

Aetna Insurance Protest
Long Island Animal Defense League along with SHAC-USA will be kicking off the North East activities for World Week, with a protest against Aetna Insurance, who insure the scum who are employed at HLS! Who's gonna work at HLS with no insurance to cover them? NO ONE! Aetna U.S. Healthcare is one of HLS's most important supporters - without the means to provide it's employees with healthcare, HLS will not be able to successfully keep its doors open. Furthermore, rising premiums is something HLS cannot afford as a business already on a path to bankruptcy. It's time to FINISH HLS!
