Bristol Myer Squibb, Still Top Target?
2013: Bristol Myer Squibb contracted Huntingdon Life Sciences hundreds of times, with ties throughout 2005, according to SHAC Global Campaign. Since Kinship Circle posted Target HLS Customer Bristol Myer Squibb, the pharma giant remains a shac.net Priority Target. Check our Animal Experimentation Alerts for HLS TARGETS with updated contact info. Target emails in archived alerts like this one are unlikely to still work.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am concerned about the welfare of animals used in the development of Bristol Myer Squibb pharmaceutical products. I understand BMS contracts Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS).

I respectfully ask you to join the global list of former customers, suppliers, and financiers who severed ties with HLS after learning about the laboratory's habitual falsification of data and animal cruelty.

HLS kills an average 500 animals each day for experiments "only reliable 5-25% of the time," one HLS record contends. Documentation from six investigations has exposed HLS for 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.

As recently as late 2005, two former HLS employees from the Beagle Unit left their jobs distressed over the animal suffering they witnessed daily for 12 months. According to their tape-recorded testimonial, animals 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 would go in and out about five times with the same needle, not hitting the vein," the one-time employee maintains. "I saw co-workers grab [dogs] by the scruff, shout and swear at them, swing them by the scruff and slap them."

I've personally viewed substantiated accounts of HLS technicians who 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 in the face. During a supposedly post-mortem dissection, another tech slices into the chest of a convulsing monkey.

You likely find deliberate animal abuse as unconscionable as I do. I urge Bristol Myer Squibb to issue a candid statement that conveys its refusal to do business with Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Thank you for your valuable time and consideration,

about web petitions
When you use the web petition instead of direct-send, your comments — and everyone else's — come from one place: Our website server.

WEB PETITIONS REQUIRE THE LEAST EFFORT, BUT SOMETIMES CAN:
  • Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
  • Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.


Your own voice makes more impact. Try to change some words in letter.
