<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">HLS is the 3rd largest CRO in the world and the largest animal testing facility in Europe. The company provides full programs for pesticides, herbicides, weed-killers and fertilizers. They also test detergents, tanning lotions, diet pills, food wrapping plastic, food additives, cosmetics and some pharmaceuticals. Viagra was tested at HLS. Olestra was a "fat free oil" that was found to be safe in animal tests but caused anal leakage in humans. HLS also tests controversial genetically modified organisms (GMO)s and has performed <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Xenotransplantation" title="Xenotransplantation" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">xenotransplantation</a> (transplanting organs of one species into another). At any one period, approximately 70,000 animals are housed in HLS facilities. HLS kills an average of 500 animals per day. <sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-2" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[3]</a></sup>, <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-3" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[4]</a></sup> See also <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Animal_testing" title="Animal testing" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">animal testing</a>, section 3 on <i>product (toxicity) testing.</i>

Over 90% of the animals used in experimentation are excluded from the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), the only federal law which over sees animal testing. Rats, mice, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish are expressly eliminated from all safeguards. Species not covered under the AWA do not even have to be reported. <sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-4" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[5]</a></sup> See also <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/USDA" title="USDA" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">USDA</a>.</p>

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">In recent years, HLS has been infiltrated and exposed at least seven separate times for animal cruelty and other violations. Separate investigations, employee testimonies, leaking of documents and documents obtained by court order; have occurred in 1981, 1996-97 (twice), 2000, 2000-03, 2005 and 2007-08.

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">In 1981 Sarah Kite of the British Union for Anti-Vivisection (BUAV) worked under cover at HLS for eight months. She started work on the Rodent Toxicology Unit. According to Ms. Kite:</p>

<dd style=" line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-right: 0px;">"I soon discovered we were not allowed to call blood, blood, we had to call it red staining. Similarly, the killing of an animal at the end of an experiment is described as a sacrifice. ...One (experiment) was for the food colouring Canthaxanthin, which was used in colouring the flesh of salmon and trout and also used in sun tanning pills. This experiment was carried out for the pharmaceutical company Hoffman La <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Roche" title="Roche" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Roche</a>. Effects included lethargy, hair standing on end, swollen necks and abdomens. Those given high doses had orange fur and tails, with brick red faeces and urine."</dd>

</dl>

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">The substance was considered so toxic that cleaning staff wore oxygen suits. In a two year chronic toxicity study for a tranquilizer she recorded:</p>

<dd style=" line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-right: 0px;">"Rats having fits after dosing for up to one minute. Cages 85, 95 and 100 had large amounts of dark red blood on their trays." Their condition was described as "gross and ill with greasy wet fur standing on end." A technician described them as "rotting but still alive."</dd>

</dl>

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">The investigator found the Dog Toxicology Unit so harrowing she only stayed for 8 weeks. Beagles were poisoned with pesticides, dental hygiene products, drugs and food wrapping film. In one test, 48 Beagles had an anti-psoriatic cream applied to their shaved backs for 30 days. The cream was rubbed into the open sores and blisters they developed. They were bound in tight sticky plaster. The dogs wore large head collars to prevent them from pulling at the plaster due to pain. Then as now, there were already multiple brands of anti-psoriatic creams. However, another drug company wished to cash in on a lucrative market. Such pointless torture was also illustrated in a 1972 HLS report admitting that "there is a great variation in the skin irritancy response of mice, guinea pigs, piglets, dogs and baboons."

Staff were encouraged not to spend time with the beagles, as "time and speed were the essence". Touching them was also a "waste of time." They might also become "spoilt" and "not do what they were told." While cleaning cages, she regularly found blood, vomit and diarrhea from sick dogs, which she described as "extremely thin with their fur standing on end.

Wearing glasses with a pinpoint video camera in the bridge, she taped some 50 hours of laboratory activities in her 8 months of employment. She also made six hours of audiotapes and copied 8,000 pages of documents, including a client list. At the time, HLS was using dogs to test an antibacterial agent additive for tooth paste for Colgate-Palmalive. It was also revealed that the beagles were to have their legs broken to test a new drug, intended to combat osteoporosis, for the Japanese company, Yamanouchi Pharmaceuticals. PETA also accused HLS technicians of improperly anesthetizing monkeys prior to removing their organs in a study for <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Proctor_%26_Gamble" title="Proctor & Gamble" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Proctor & Gamble</a>. Yamanouchi soon canceled its contract and the dogs were eventually put up for adoption. The investigation sparked protests resulting in government investigations. <sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-9" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[10]</a></sup> The USDA fined the New Jersey facility $50,000 for violating a Federal law that regulates the care and treatment of laboratory animals.

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">Also in 1996, Zoe Broughton secretly filmed inside of HLS while working as a laboratory technician. She followed the entire process from puppies' settling in weeks, through experiments and postmortems; assembling evidence of "cruelty and incompetence". The documentary, <i>It's A Dog's Life</i> was based on her investigations and undercover tapes. It was aired on March 26, 1997. One day after the broadcast, three laboratory technicians were put on suspended leave. Two men who had been filmed hitting and shaking dogs were arrested at their residences by local police and by autumn, had been prosecuted under the Animals Act of 1911. They admitted to charges of "cruelly terrifying dogs" and were given sentences of community service and ordered to pay 250 pounds costs by magistrates in Peterborough. It was the first time that laboratory technicians had been prosecuted for animal cruelty in the United Kingdom. The film had also revealed one technician squirting a syringe of drug into the bin when he could not find the dog's vein. The suggestion was that technicians weren't accurately measuring out the chemicals, thereby affecting the data. Some of the companies who used HLS, subsequently withdrew their contracts. The price of HLS shares also dropped from 121p to 54p over the next few months. At 54p, the company requested that its stock market shares be frozen. According to Home Office minister George Howarth in a written statement to Parliment on July 24 1997:</p>

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">Animal Defenders International (ADI) is an advocacy group based in London and San Francisco. In 2007 and 2008, ADI conducted a comprehensive investigation which exposed every aspect of the global primate trade across three continents (Europe, Asia and South America); including HLS in Cambridgeshire. In ADI's ‘Save The Primates’ documentary, monkeys desperately shake their tiny, rusting, collapsing cages at a UK Home Office approved monkey dealer in Vietnam. The suffering of monkeys is exposed as they endure a 30 hour trip from Vietnam to HLS. The dealer supplied almost 500 monkeys to HLS in one year.

In the course of their investigation, ADI infiltrated the HLS Cambridgeshire monkey unit for one year. The documentary shows struggling monkeys being strapped into chairs and forced to inhale products. Monkeys are held down as technicians force tubes down their throats and many are housed in 1 cubic metre cages. The facility can hold up to 550 monkeys at a time. In the course of the year long investigation, 217 monkeys were killed in just five studies. The investigation and report are part of a ground breaking study on primate research and the international primate trade. <sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-12" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[13]</a></sup>, <sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-13" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[14]</a></sup></p>

Primates were imported from Mauritius, the Philippines and China andpacked in tiny crates, (often too small to stand in) for up to two and a half days. Subsequently, up to 300 monkeys were kept in tiny cages inside of dark Portakabins. The monkeys were quarantined for up to two months before being sold for vivisection. Following campaigns which exposed cruel conditions of monkeys transported on long flights, many airlines and ferry companies refused to transport animals for Shamrock.

In 2000, a series of reports were published by Permagon press on the details of animal testing for Sucralose at HLS. These were particularly nasty experiments carried out on dogs, monkeys, rabbits, rats and mice. A total of 12,800 animals died at HLS during for this study. One of the objectives was to observe effects of massive doses of sucralose on animal's nervous systems. In spite of wide spread evidence of health dangers and concerns, Sucralose is widely available for consumption.

Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar and is the first no-calorie based sweetener ever developed. It was predicted to be a highly profitable money maker for British sugar giant Tate & Lyle, who commissioned the research. Thousands of animals, including beagles, monkeys, rabbits and rodents were poisoned and killed in various ways for the 20 year study on Sucralose; known in the United States as Splenda. <sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-17" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[18]</a></sup> See also <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Splenda:_Sadistically_Sweet" title="Splenda: Sadistically Sweet" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Splenda: Sadistically Sweet</a>.</p>

The documents revealed primates being used in the search for solutions to the chronic global shortage of human transplant organs. Baboons were transported from the African savannahs to die in steel cages the size of toilet cubicles. According to the documents, a quarter of the primates died from "technical failures". Researchers describe monkeys and baboons dying in fits of vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms were violent spasms, bloody discharges, grinding teeth and uncontrollable, manic eye movements. Animals retreated within themselves, lying still in their cages until they were put of their misery. Baboon W201m died of a stroke after two days of suffering from limb spasms and paralysis. Baboon W205m was "sacrificed" after 21 days. A genetically modified pig's heart had been attached to the vital arteries within its neck. Researchers noted the heart was swelling way beyond its natural size with a strange yellow fluid seeping from the organ.

Other animals never even made it to HLS, suffering painful deaths en route. Faxes from global wildlife dealers reveal at least 50 baboons being taken from the African plains for the experiments. In one shipment, the creatures spent 34 hours in cramped transport crates; 10 hours longer than approved by the Home Office (which did not take any action.) In another shipment, three monkeys were found dead with blood oozing from their nostrils at a Paris airport. They had not been able to turn and lie down naturally. The 1,274 pages of documentation revealed a "litany of failings", including at least 520 errors and omissions. <sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-18" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[19]</a></sup>

The 150 page Diaries of Despair report based on the documentation, provides the public with an unprecedented and extensive insight into the reality of vivisection in Britain. Never before has so much secret information about animal experiments entered the public domain. The report was effectively banned for almost two and a half years by an injunction by Imutran and Novartis in late September of 2000. The leaked documentation reveals horrific animal suffering, corrects misleading public presentation of research and exposes government deception. The five part report provides background information on xenotransplantation; an overview of the leaked documents and the rationale behind transgenic pigs as a potential source of xenografts. It describe the suffering of primates used in the research and the legal framework regulating animal testing. The report documents baboons and cynomolgus monkeys, from (in the case of the baboons) capture in the wild, through transportation half way across the world and their deaths in experiments conducted at HLS.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-19" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[20]</a></sup></p>

At least 5 of these dogs sustained injuries severe enough to warrant euthanasia. This compares to only 30 dogs used in experiments involving unrelieved pain in 2007.

<p style=" margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">HLS was delisted from the London Stock Exchange in 2002. On September 7, 2005, the company was scheduled to begin trading on the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/New_York_Stock_Exchange" title="New York Stock Exchange" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">New York Stock Exchange</a> under the symbol LSR, with company executives present to celebrate. However, the listing was canceled without comment moments before trading began. Currently, HLS stock still trades on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol LSRI. Chairman and CEO Andrew Baker, who owns 27% of HLS stock, fronted the company $43 million in June of 2005. However, HLS still reported a $75.9 million debt after the cash infusion.

Two of HLS's directors are based in third world countries. Shareholders meetings are held secretly in Panama. <sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-27" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[28]</a></sup></p>

<hr />

<span class="body" style=" font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Good afternoon, <b>Chairman Inhofe, Ranking Member Jeffords </b>and members of the Committee. My name is Mark Bibi. I am General Counsel of Life Sciences Research and its operating subsidiary, Huntingdon Life Sciences. Thank you for this opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the dangers posed by SHAC , identified by the FBI as one of the nation’s leading domestic terrorist threats. It is a serious matter and deserves a serious response.</span>

<p> 

LSR is a publicly traded company headquartered near Princeton, New Jersey. An important part of our work is to conduct government-required animal testing on drugs and chemicals to identify risks to humans, animals and the environment. Because of these efforts to make sure products are safe, HLS and those who do business with us have been relentlessly terrorized by SHAC.</p>

<p>

As I awoke on a chilly November morning and looked out my window, the fears that had been building ever since I was first targeted for terror by SHAC a few months earlier were realized. My car’s front windshield had been smashed with a large boulder. The car was covered with animal rights graffiti. Warning messages were spray painted all over my house – “Pup Killer”; “Close HLS”; “Quit Now”. I immediately knew that I had been the victim of a SHAC attack. The impact of this violence -- and the implicit threat of future violence -- is a terrifying life-changing event.</p>

<p>

A few months earlier SHAC identified me as a target in their newsletter and on their web site. They posted my name, home address and phone number, with the exhortation “Go get ‘em.” Almost immediately, the harassment and intimidation had begun – nasty phone calls in the middle of the night. Threatening letters and e-mails. Protesters at my home screaming through bullhorns that I’m a “murderer”. And now the sanctity and safety of my home had been violated.</p>

<p>

<b>Other SHAC targets have suffered beatings [one guy in UK?], acid attacks[OMG window etching?], car and letter bombings.</b></p>

<p>

SHAC uses these terror tactics not only against HLS and its employees, but also against third parties to force them to sever their business relationships with Huntingdon. Time and again, in dozens of cases, both customers’ and HLS’ providers –from accounting firms, to banks, to lawn gardeners and even our security firm –have been forced by fear to capitulate to SHAC’s demand that they cease working with us, deciding it’s safer to them and their employees to give in rather than to suffer the personal harassment and intimidation.

<b>SHAC is now attacking the integrity and independence of the US stock market system</b>. LSR’s stock trades on the OTCBB market. SHAC targets and harasses any market maker that dares to trade in LSR stock, and more than forty market makers have caved in to SHAC’s intimidation. Only one<b>, Legacy Trading</b>, currently consistently makes a market in LSR stock.</p>

<p>

SHAC has a current campaign against LSR’s institutional investors. Taking advantage of public SEC filings to identify those institutional investors, SHAC has intimidated most of them into selling their LSR stock, causing significant dislocation in the market.</p>

<p>

But perhaps the most shameful apparent capitulation to date and that which poses the greatest risk to the US economy is that of the New York Stock Exchange. In the summer of this year LSR entered into listing discussions with the NYSE. We met all of the financial requirements to list our stock on the Exchange. We told them about the SHAC campaign. The NYSE dismissed the potential risks, pointing out that since 9/11, they had been a target of the most dangerous terrorists in the world, assuring us they would not be scared off by SHAC. We spent a number of weeks completing all the necessary paperwork and interviews, keeping in regular contact with NYSE staff throughout, and on August 22nd the NYSE told us that we had been authorized for listing. We issued a press release announcing that approval and reporting that we expected to begin trading on the NYSE on September 7; that press release was approved in advance by the NYSE, and the President of the NYSE, Catherine Kinney, even included a quote welcoming us.</p>

<p>

On the morning of September 7 our senior management team went to the NYSE’s Wall Street headquarters for the original listing celebration. But only minutes before we were to go down to the trading floor to watch the first trade in LSR stock, the President of the NYSE told us that they would not be listing LSR stock that day, and that our listing was postponed. One of my LSR colleagues and I spent the next hour or so meeting with senior NYSE officials. We spoke only about the animal rights campaign against the Company. It was patently clear to me that the only reason the NYSE postponed our listing was because of concerns about the SHAC campaign.</p>

<p>

<b>All Americans took pride when the New York Stock Exchange reopened for business only four business days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Yet, apparently purely on the basis of a perceived threat from SHAC, the NYSE postponed plans to list LSR. A handful of animal extremists had succeeded where Osama bin Laden had failed.</b></p>

<p>

We have received no information from the NYSE since September 7. They have never raised with us any question of our eligibility or suitability to list. They have not asked us for any further information. We just seem to have been indefinitely postponed, with no indications as to when – if ever –the NYSE will tell us anything.</p>

<p>

The risks posed by SHAC should not be underestimated. <b>SHAC is the tip of the iceberg –they are the test case for a whole new brand of activism through personal intimidation</b>. Other activist campaigns are no doubt waiting in the wings to see how SHAC is dealt with. Imagine the impact if SHAC tactics were used by those opposed to various other industries from defense, to mining, to oil, to timber, to who knows what else.</p>

<p>

SHAC’s greatest impact has come in targeting third parties doing business with or providing services to HLS. I urge the Congress to adopt more effective laws that can be used to<b> control this third party targeting.</b></p>

<p>

We cannot allow the <b>domestic terrorism </b>practiced, fostered and encouraged by SHAC to flourish in our own backyard.</p>

<p>

Thank you for your time. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.</p>

Ltd., a commercial organisation that initially focused on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition" title="Nutrition" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">nutrition</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterinary" title="Veterinary" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">veterinary</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical" title="Biochemical" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">biochemical</a>research. The original facilities were split over two locations; the main offices were within Cromwell House in the town of Huntingdon, Cambs, UK; and the main laboratories were at the Hartford Field Station (just over a mile away). It then became involved with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceuticals" title="Pharmaceuticals" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">pharmaceuticals</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_additives" title="Food additives" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">food additives</a>, and industrial and consumer chemicals. In 1959 it changed its name to Nutritional Research Unit Ltd. The company benefited in the early 1960s from increased government regulatory testing requirements, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. In 1964 it was acquired by the U.S. medical supply firm of Becton Dickinson.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntingdon_Life_Sciences#cite_note-4" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[4]</a></sup>

In April 1983 Becton Dickinson created Huntingdon Research Centre PLC. It then offered four million <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_depositary_receipts" title="American depositary receipts" class="mw-redirect" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">American depositary receipts</a> (ADRs) for sale at $15 each, representing the company's entire interest in Huntingdon. In 1985, as it began to expand its operations, the company changed its name to Huntingdon International Holdings plc. In that year it established Huntingdon Analytical Services Inc. to conduct business in the United States.

To augment its CRO business, Huntingdon acquired Minnesota's Twin City Testing Laboratory Inc. and affiliated companies in 1985, followed by the acquisition of Nebraska Testing Corporation in 1986; Travis Laboratories and Kansas City Test Laboratory Inc. in 1989; and Southwestern Laboratories, Inc. in 1990. Huntingdon also diversified its operations, primarily in the United States, becoming involved in engineering and environmental services.

In 1987 HLS purchased Northern Engineering and Testing, Inc., and then in 1988 bought Empire Soils Investigations Inc., Chen Associates Inc., and Asteco Inc. In 1988 HLS was floated on the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Stock_Exchange" title="London Stock Exchange" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">London Stock Exchange</a> and in 1989 obtained a listing on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Stock_Exchange" title="New York Stock Exchange" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">New York Stock Exchange</a>. In 1990 Huntingdon acquired the St. Louis branch of Envirodyne Engineers Inc. and Whiteley Holdings Ltd. And in 1991 it acquired Austin Research Engineers, Inc., followed by Travers Morgan Ltd.

By the early 1990s Huntingdon was organized into three business groups: the Life Sciences Group, the Engineering/Environmental Group, and the Travers Morgan Group, which offered engineering and environmental consulting services outside of the United States. However, only the Life Sciences Group showed long-term promise. Travers Morgan was allowed to lapse into insolvency, control passed into other hands, and Huntingdon wrote off the investment. In 1995 the engineering and environmental businesses were sold to Maxim Engineers Inc. of Dallas, Texas.

To bolster its CRO business and reinforce its U.S. presence, Huntingdon in 1995 acquired the toxicology business of Applied Biosciences International for $32.5 million in cash, plus the Leicester Clinical Research Centre. The deal not only included a U.S. laboratory located near <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princeton,_New_Jersey" title="Princeton, New Jersey" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Princeton, New Jersey</a>, it brought with it two British facilities as well. In 1997 Huntingdon International Holdings changed its name to Huntingdon Life Sciences Group. The U.K. subsidiary, Huntingdon Research Centre, changed its name to Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd., while the U.S. business operated as Huntingdon Life Sciences Inc.

In 2002 HLS moved its financial centre to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" title="United States" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">United States</a> and incorporated in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland" title="Maryland" style=" text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Maryland</a> as Life Sciences Research, Inc.

<div>Pickaxe documents efforts to halt logging at Warner Creek, a federally protected forest in Oregon. Following a suspicious fire in 1991 that cleared the land, Congress suspended environmental regulations to allow logging in the area. Since arson was determined to be the cause of the fire, however, environmental activists argued that allowing logging at Warner Creek would set a bad example and possibly lead to similarly motivated forest fires. What followed was an 11-month battle complete with a 79-day hunger strike and an amazing blockade of a remote mountain logging road. This inspiring documentary shows the power of direct action, determination and good leadership.</div>
