Friday, August 15, 2008 Activists Converge on DC Offices of  Demo #1: Vanguard Group Activists attending the national animal rights conference AR2008 being held in Alexandria Virginia, took the opportunity to visit the offices of two primary Huntingdon Life Sciences investors. First up was the office address of Vanguard Group, one of Huntingdon Life Sciences’ largest institutional investors. Of the 25 activists who engaged in the protest, several were using bullhorns making this one of the loudest demonstrations ever. The quiet street echoed with the sounds of angry protesters decrying the continued torture and killing of animals at Huntingdon Life Sciences. Demo #2: Barclays Global Investors Second stop was the office address of Barclays Global Investors. Barclays is currently the largest of LSR’s (ticker symbol for Huntingdon Life Sciences) institutional investors with a whopping 279,842 shares. Once again the sound of multiple bullhorns blaring sent a strong message to Barclays. “If you want to get some rest, cut your ties with HLS”. Activists vowed to continue pressuring Barclays until they make the ethical choice of other LSR investors. Sell your shares, Barclays!
