SAMPLE:
Dear Sir/Madam:
I respectfully ask _____________to join the ranks of
Washington Mutual, Cortina,Royce, Greenville, Awad,
Thomson, and cease trading in Life Sciences Research
(LSRI) shares. Life Sciences Research is the U.S.
shell company for Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS).
While I doubt anyone in your firm condones animal
cruelty, Fidelity Investment's recurring role as a
market maker for HLS helps sustain a research
laboratory with 32 affirmed violations of the U.S.
Animal Welfare Act,16 violations of Good Laboratory
Practice in England,the arrest of employees on animal
cruelty charges, and documented animal abuse in five
investigations.
As many as 500 animals die each day inside Huntingdon
Life Sciences. I strongly encourage you to visit <
http://www.insidehls.com > to view photos and journals
from five undercover investigations documenting the
lab's criminal behavior.
Investigative footage reveals the routine sloppiness
of technicians who plunge needles into 3-month-old
dogs. Others mistakenly shove dosing tubes into an
animal's lungs, causing instant death as toxic
materials flood the lungs. Animals dangling from
suspension slings or cowering in dingy cages are left
to seize, vomit and collapse with little to no
veterinary supervision.
In one video clip, a lab tech grabs a frightened
beagle by the loose skin over his neck. As the puppy's
legs frantically peddle air, the man repeatedly
punches the dog in the face. It is difficult to erase
the cries of this puppy or, as one former HLS employee
reports, the regular yelping and coughing of conscious
dogs during fatal procedures.
I assume ___________plans to penetrate other major
global markets...Why sacrifice client confidence-and
your reputation-by facilitating a profoundly corrupt
research laboratory?
If __________is genuinely concerned about business
ethics, it must disassociate itself from a facility
cited for research fraud and hundreds of animal
welfare violations. Please do not execute
trades in HLS/LSRI securities.
Thank you for your valuable time and consideration in
this important matter.
Sincerely,
