WAR visits Investors AXA & SAC and customers Novartis & BMS

Demo #1: Nobel Gulati – Sigma/Division of SAC Capital Advisors

On Sunday, 15 activists with Win Animal Rights made a first time visit to the upper west side home of Nobel Gulati of Sigma Capital. Sigma is a division of SAC Capital which owns over 60,000 shares of LSR stock. The quiet street rang with the raised voices of activists who chanted: Stop the torture, stop the pain…Nobel Gulati is to blame”.

Demo #2: David Halstead – VP – AXA Financial

Great location close to a neighborhood flea market provides a wonderful opportunity to reach out to David Halstead’s neighbors. Flyers were distributed which detailed the relationship between David’s company AXA and HLS (AXA owns over 84,000 shares of LSR stock). Halstead’s dog walking neighbors stopped to chat with activists and looked from the bloody banner and posters over their shoulder to frown in their neighbor’s direction. A spirited protest followed.

Demo #3: Dorothy Watson – General Counsel – Novartis

On to the Broadway & 72nd Street home of Dorothy Watson, General Counsel for HLS customer Novartis. Activists have visited here often and will continue to come back until Novartis cuts its blood ties to Huntingdon Life Sciences. HLS may be doing the killing in East Millstone, New Jersey but, Novartis is signing the contracts and cutting the checks that allow the killing to continue. 500 animals are killed every day….as activists put it: “We’ll be back, until they stop the killing”. Activists also distributed lists of Novartis products, so everyone they speak to will know which products to avoid.

Demo #4: Neil Chriss – Sigma/Division of SAC Capital Advisors

First time visit to SAC Capital Advisors big shot, Neill Chriss. Neil lives in a great spot right on Broadway and not far from Dorothy Watson. Just a block away from landmark Lincoln Center, this will no doubt be a popular return spot as the sidewalks were rife with supportive pedestrians. Activists voices rang strong and true as they chanted: “500 animals died today, Neill Chriss is to blame…500 animals suffered in vain, Neill Chriss is to blame.” As an owner of LSR shares, SAC Capital Advisors is surely to blame.

Demo #5: Lamberto Andreotti – President, Worldwide Pharmaceuticals – Bristol-Myers Squibb

Last stop of the afternoon was the posh and fashionable building of Lamberto Andreotti, President of one of Bristol-Myers Squibb’s most important profit centers, Worldwide Pharmaceuticals. Lamberto’s neighbor, Madonna wasn’t home; but one of his other neighbors, having apparently had his late afternoon siesta interrupted, was distraught that activists were serenading under his window.

This angry middle aged man came down to the street to threaten activists with physical assault if they didn’t stop the protest. He quickly turned tail and ran when activists told him to “Take it up with Lamberto Andreotti”. Macho man then hid behind his better half’s skirts, while she threw eggs at activists from the couple’s second story window. Fortunately, her aim was as bad as her personality, she only succeeded in hitting the car behind the activists.

A 9-1-1 call was made and a police report was filed. Officers were dispatched from the 20th precinct. When they went to search for the perpetrators, mysteriously, they had disappeared into thin air failing to answer the police knock on the door. Cowards! “We’ll be back soon, cowards and next time we will be ready for you!”. Must suck to have a puppy killer as a neighbor.

WAR wishes to once again thank the new activists that came out this weekend and our wonderful legal observer from Columbia Law School.
