	Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SHAC was started in November 1999 by British animal-rights activists Greg Avery and Heather James after video footage shot covertly inside HLS in 1997 by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was aired on British television.
		SHAC supporters are known to have engaged in harassment; intimidation with death-threat letters and hoax bombs; arson, including the use of fire-bombs; trespass; and vandalism.
		SHAC's efforts are susceptible to the problems common to vigilantism, namely that an entirely unconnected person may be targeted or affected.

	Animal rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Animal rights is the concept that all or some animals are entitled to possess their own lives; that they are deserving of, or already possess, certain moral rights; and that some basic rights for animals ought to be enshrined in law.
		There are criminal laws against cruelty to animals, laws that regulate the keeping of animals in cities and on farms, the transit of animals internationally, as well as quarantine and inspection provisions.
		Switzerland passed legislation in 1992 to recognize animals as beings, rather than things, and the protection of animals was enshrined in the German constitution in 2002, when its upper house of parliament voted to add the words "and animals" to the clause in the constitution obliging the state to protect the "natural foundations of life...

	Animal Liberation Press Office
		It doesn't really matter how strict the regulations are on animal use, or even the fact that countless breakthroughs have been made here through this avenue of research; the activists take issue with the use of animals at all in the name of science.
		The activists are part of an animal liberation movement aimed at stopping animal testing, with the belief that it is cruel and that animals should have the same rights as humans.
		A group of animal rights activists marched through the UCLA campus Monday, stopping at research labs and the chancellor's office to protest the animal research occurring on campus, alleging that it is conducted in an inhumane manner.

		The organization uses the same leaderless-resistance model as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, with small groups of individuals, or just one individual, acting as autonomous covert cells.

	Animal Rights Watch Maintained by Derek Coons
		Animal rights means recognizing that animals are living sentient creatures with interests of their own, not objects to be exploited by humans.
		It means that animals' interests should be respected, and that the enslaving, eating, wearing, and torturing of animals by humans is wrong.
		This results in hellish lives for animals who have to deal with severe confinement, mutilations done with no anesthesia (such as debeaking, castration, and tail docking), horrible living conditions, disease, shipping in extreme temperatures, and finally their own execution at the slaughterhouse.

	Daiichi UK and others v Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty and others
		SHAC was established in about November 1999 with the declared objective of bringing about the closure of the HLS laboratories in which experimentation on live animals is conducted.
		It is the Claimants case in essence that SHAC and those involved with it have sought to achieve that objective by a concerted campaign of unlawful harassment and intimidation directed both at HLS and its employees, and at its customers and suppliers of goods and services and their employees.
		The degree of influence or control over animal rights activists by SHAC is demonstrated not only by the information that it disseminates as to the targets, both corporate and individual, but also by the evidence as to its role in discussions or negotiations with the companies the subject of the campaign.

		SHAC is awaiting proof and has not yet diverted pressure on Stephens.
		SHAC has run a relentless pressure campaign against Stephens Inc. since the company extended a $33 million loan to HLS in January 2001, saving the lab from bankruptcy after all its major investors, including Citibank, Merrill Lynch, HSBC, and Charles Schwab, quit when they became targets of the same campaign.

	SHAC
		As of August 14, 2004, Pamelyn Ferdin became the new president of SHAC-USA, and with her husband Jerry Vlasak as a spokesperson for the Animal Liberation Press Office, there is an absolute and direct relationship between SHAC, the ALF (Animal Liberation Front), and the ADL (Animal Defense League).
		SHAC officially rejects the notion that it has a relationship with the Animal Liberation Front, but considering the new president, that is pretty hard to accept.
		In addition, three out of SHAC's four main directors in the U.S. have close associations to crimes claimed by ALF, and that the two keynote speakers at SHAC's December 2002 protest event, Rodney Coronado and Robin Webb are both convicted ALF criminals, no one really believes that there is no connection.

		Huntingdon's response is hardly the first legal skirmish between Huntingdon and its critics; most recently, the company brought suit against Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty and other animal-rights groups last April using racketeering law to fight the activist's allegedly radical tactics, including "violence, intimidation and harassment"; the law suit is still pending.

		Never once did we fool ourselves into believing that to the extent we have all rattled the cages of the vivisection industry there would be no consequence.
