<strong>~200 DC Conference Goers Address GSK Heads Outside Their Homes!</strong>


<P>

In the morning, four animal rights advocates, including members of the
Philadelphia Animal Rights Organization, "Hugs For Puppies" and members of
our own Long Island Animal Defense League spoke to a room of nearly 200
activists, educating them about the campaign to close HLS, the use of
direct action, and methods of using good security culture to resist
governmental repression. A table at the NCOR conference educating many
more as we gave out tons of flyers, newsletters, videos, pins, etc.

By 6 pm a mass of 170 people had gathered on the steps of the conference
building to take it to the home of an HLS collaborator. The group marched
several blocks to the home of Janie Kinney, Vice President of
GlaxoSmithKline. A security guard was already stationed in a car in front
of her house, and a guard was inside her house as well (how many DC-area
Pharma executives got the same treatment??), but I'm sure they had no
expectation of the mass of people that would be paying Mrs. Kinney a
visit. The crowd of people jammed the sidewalk in front of the house and
up the street, chanting "Puppy Killer - Leave Town!".

For some reason no one answered the door, but Jannie, her husband, and
their in-house security guard stood looking out the window at the mass of
people in front of their home. Neighbors came out to talk to us, and cars
slowed to a stop to see what was going on. Numerous cops showed up, but as
home protests are perfectly legal we were allowed to remain there (we did
agree to make the second half of our protest silent though). After about
half an hour at her house, with loud chants of "We'll be back", the mass
of activists streamed off, flyering cars along the way and escorted along
by ten cop cars. What a fun evening!

More and more people are learning about GSK's evil treatment of animals
and of human beings - GSK, when will you wake up and realize that HLS is
not worth it? Anyone who works with HLS can be next. The campaign against
HLS is getting stronger and we won't back down until their doors are
closed forever.
