Description

Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) is one of the world's biggest and most notorious contract animal testing labs. HLS tests agrochemical and pharmaceutical products on puppies, cats, monkeys, rabbits, and a number of other animals killing roughly 180,000 a year. Activists internationally have committed themselves to shutting down HLS after 5 undercover investigations have shown workers punching beagle puppies in the face, dissecting a conscious monkey, transplanting a frozen pig¹s heart into a baboon, and falsifying scientific data and procedures for animal welfare.
