Christmas Triple Play : Andrew Baker, Customer Sanofi & NYSE

Demo #1: Andrew Baker - CEO of Huntingdon Life Sciences

It wouldn’t be the Christmas season if activists from WAR didn’t stop buy to send holiday messages to Andrew Baker, Chief Puppy Killer of Huntingdon Life Sciences. Activists braved frigid temperatures and freezing rain to let Andrew Baker know how they feel about the 500 animals that dies that day at the hands of the monsters at HLS. Despite the bad weather activists held banners and posters and distributed literature to Baker’s neighbors walking along Central Park West.

“We will never back down, until they stop the killing” chanted the dedicated but angry activists. No doubt all would have rather opted to stay in a warm dry place on this day before Christmas eve, but the suffering of the animals at HLS continue to motivate and drive protesters to speak out despite the inclement weather. Neighbors stopped by to take literature and to commend the activists for their passion and the dedication.

Demo #2: Nicole Brier - Sanofi Pasteur – Liaison

A few short blocks away from Baker’s multi-million dollar residence, activists headed to the quaint brownstone building of Nicole Brier. Brier’s home hasn’t been a stopping point for quite some time as protesters concentrated on persuading HLS’ institutional investors to sell their death shares. Now with the large majority of the institutional investors gone, activists will be returning to Nicole’s place on a regular basis.

Residents of Nicole’s building came down to welcome us back. Some said that Nicole no longer works for Sanofi. Luckily, WAR had very recently confirmed with Sanofi that she was still employed there. You can lie, Nicole, but you cannot hide. WAR never gives up and always confirms information that is given to us on the street by well meaning but gullible neighbors. “500 animals died today, Nicole Brier and Sanofi Pasteur are to blame”. Note, Sanofi Pasteur is a wholly owned subsidiary of prime HLS customer Sanofi Aventis. “We’ll be back, Nicole”.

Demo #3: Dale Bernstein, Senior V.P. – NYSE

A fifteen minute walk away in the cold rain brought activists to the luxury hi-rise building of New York Stock Exchange Executive, Dale Bernstein. Activists love this location, as there are a couple of loony building residents that always make this location entertaining. Also, Dale Bernstein is universally disliked in this neighborhood by her neighbors. One neighbor engaged the protesters in conversation and later asked for a supply of flyers to pass out in the building. Naturally, she was given all she wanted.

A loud and strong demo followed. Neighbors hung out of windows and some even left the warmth and comfort of their homes to see what the noise was all about. Some of Dale’s neighbors from across West End Avenue were less than happy about the noise on a Sunday afternoon. After visiting with protesters and hearing what they had to say, the neighbor turned her anger and upset at Dale instead and promised to let others in her building know who was responsible for the activists being out on the street. Once again, activists promised to continue to return until the NYSE delisted Huntingdon Life Sciences, which is trading on the NYSE Arca Exchange as LSR.
