September 14, 2006 Animal
Activists to Take to the Streets This Weekend Angry animal rights activists are planning large-scale protests this weekend after four of their colleagues were sentenced to federal prison for their campaign of harassment against a British-based research company with offices in New Jersey that performs tests on animals. Four activists from the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, SHAC, were sentenced to three to six years in prison following hearings in federal court in Trenton, New Jersey, for violations of the Animal Enterprise Act. Two more members are scheduled to be sentenced to lesser terms next week. The weekend-long protests in Princeton, New Jersey, have been planned since August when Hugs for Puppies founder David Lambon sent out an email, urging protesters to show up and "show the world that the campaign against HLS is still here, still strong and still holding the business world accountable for supporting Huntingdon Life Services."
