Sunday, December 28, 2008 Ending Another Year at HLS CEO Andrew Baker's Home + Dennis Basso + HLS Customer Bristol-Myers Squibb  Demo #1: Andrew Baker – CEO Huntingdon Life Sciences The last Baker protest of the year, 2008, was attended by approximately 20 protesters. 15 lined the sidewalk while others distributed literature and either observed or photographed the event. New colorful posters added to the graphic display of bloody mutilated animals killed by the animal murderers at Huntingdon Life Sciences. As Chief Executive Officer and the largest individual stockholder of Huntingdon Life Sciences, Andrew Baker is the single most responsible individual accountable for the killing of 180,000 animals per year. Voices were raised in unison….”500 animals died today, Andrew Baker is to blame”…..”500 animals murdered today, Andrew Baker is to blame”. Andrew Baker is to blame and until the killing ends caring and compassionate activists around the world will continue to haunt Baker and anyone else that has the blood of innocent animals on their hands. That includes anyone he is associated with from his premier customers, to his investors, to his family. “We will never back down until you stop the killing, Andrew Baker.”  Demo #2: Dennis Basso - NYC's Premiere Fur ScumLord A short walk south from Andrew Baker’s apartment on Central Park West is the home of Dennis Basso, the most vile fur scum in New York City. You know what they say……”birds of a feather…”. Protesters stationed themselves at Basso’s front door rather than to take the protest to Basso’s private ground floor entrance, in order to name and shame Basso in front of all of his neighbors. Many stopped to ask questions, take a piece of literature or to show their support for the demonstration. The graphic signs showing the bloody remains of animals who were killed and skinned for their fur, horrified many passersby. Many took pictures of the demonstration and the protesters picket signs. Luckily, many more of Basso’s neighbors are against the killing of fur-bearers for greed and vanity than are for it. Many gave us the high sign or applauded their approval. The protested lasted more than an hour and for that time the loud voices of the activists filled the air on Central Park West.  Demo #3: Jeremy Levin - Executive - Bristol-Myers Squibb The final visit of the afternoon was to one of the activists favorite locations. Jeremy Levin, executive of Bristol-Myers Squibb, resides at 110 Riverside Drive in a building that houses some very contentious residents. No sooner did the signs come out and voices raised in loud chants then the residents started calling in complaints to the local police precinct. Police arrived and were exceptionally civil, only asking what time the protest was scheduled to end before they wished the activists well and proceeded on their way. Perhaps eventually building residents will get the message that “First amendment is our right, we will not give up this fight”. The louder the residents play their more music out the window in an attempt to drown out the protest, the longer, louder and more often the activists will protest. Meanwhile, activists used their time at 110 Riverside to educate neighbors about the killing of 500 innocent animals every day at Huntingdon Life Sciences for product testing of unnecessary products like toothpaste and tanning lotion. Until Bristol-Myers Squibb stops funding the killing of animals by the butchers at Huntingdon Life Sciences, activists will keep coming back to see you, Jeremy Levin! Video Clips: |
