Kinship Circle’s sample letter is on the next page.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am alarmed to learn about FS Mackenzie’s continuing function as a freight forwarder for Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). As a principal global freight forwarding firm in the UK, FS Mackenzie stands to lose credibility by association with a research facility cited for falsification of data and cruelty to animals.
From 1989 to 2006, HLS has acquired: Multiple breaches of the U.S. Animal Welfare Act, the arrest of workers on animal cruelty charges, more than 520 infringements of Good Laboratory Practice in England, and a $50,000 payoff to the U.S. Agriculture Department for misstated records and animal welfare violations.
If FS Mackenzie no longer imports animals, documents or samples into HLS, please let me know so I may share the good news with others who oppose the lab’s unethical practices.
If, however, FS Mackenzie maintains a working relationship with HLS, I respectfully ask you to join the international list of suppliers, financiers and customers that made a responsible decision to sever ties.
In six investigations HLS was repeatedly exposed for incompetence, fabricated records, and profound animal cruelty. As recently as late 2005, two former employees from the HLS Beagle Unit left their jobs distressed over the animal suffering they witnessed daily for 12 months.
According to tape-recorded testimonial from the two employees, animals are improperly overdosed with test drugs. Dogs are inadequately anesthetized before invasive procedures, such as painful extraction of bone marrow from the chest bone.
Careless workers transfer blood into the wrong tubes. "One license holder I worked with would go in and out about five times with the same needle, not hitting the vein. Some dogs would struggle,” the one-time employee maintains. “I saw co-workers grab them by the scruff, shout and swear at them, swing them by the scruff and slap them."
I was shocked to view substantiated accounts of HLS technicians who nonchalantly kill dogs by flooding their lungs with toxic materials meant for the animals' stomachs. In one investigative video clip, a technician repeatedly punches a screaming 4-month-old beagle pup in the face. During a
supposedly post-mortem dissection, another tech slices into the chest of a convulsing monkey.
Undoubtedly, you find this callous treatment of animals as unacceptable as I do. I urge you to issue a straightforward statement that conveys your refusal to interact with Huntingdon Life Sciences.
Sincerely,
