On Friday, June 27th, DC Animal Rights activists took to the streets at the Staples on 19th and L St NW for the third time in a week. Activists handed out flyers to passersby and one person went to go talk with staples about their involvement with Huntingdon Life Sciences. After the concerned individual was kicked out of the store and told if he didn't leave the store manager threatened to call the police. Interesting point, that the manager, at first, thought the individual was asking how to stop the protestors, but when the concerned individual clarified he was asked to leave. ![]() After about a half hour hammering the message to Staples to "Cut their ties to HLS", Protestors proceeded to Raymond James and Associates, parent company of Eagle Assets, who is Huntingdon's largest intuitional investor with over $14 million. ![]() At Raymond James, security quickly responded and using their cell phones, apparently calling police. For over 45 minutes there was a very loud protest and Raymond James and there neighbors know what to look forward to time and time again, until they sever their ties and divest from Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). ![]() ![]() Protestors then went back to pay Staples a visit for the 4th times in a week. After approx another half hour at Staples, protestors vowed to be back and once again reminding Staples employees that there are office depot applications were readily available for them to make the compassionate choice Staples your upscale restraint neighbors are getting tired of hearing loud protests every week! Make the right choice and cut your ties with HLS! | |
