Huntingdon E.G.M Disrupted

On 2nd September Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) held its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). The meeting was disrupted for two hours by 150 share holding activists, one of whom described it as having "descended into chaos". That the company had to call an EGM itself is a sign of the campaigns success in bringing the company to such financial desperation.

HLS have been the target of sustained protest over the past two years because of their role in the vivisection industry. This action is just the latest in a campaign which has seen links between the animal liberation and radical environmental movements being made, which has meant skills from both movements have been shared and put to good use.
