DESCRIPTION:Novartis Knock Down Day is a call for actions against Novartis on Monday, 
 October 27th for being one of Huntingdon Life Sciences’ (HLS’s) largest 
 customers. Without customers of Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) there simply 
 would be no Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). The customers pay Huntingdon to 
 test products and carry out research. If Huntingdon lost all their 
 customers then they would have no income and be forced to close. There are 
 only ten companies which give Huntingdon Life Sciences 45% of their income; 
 these include Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Monday, 
 October 27th is Novartis’ day.\n\nDeal with HLS. Deal with 
 us.\n\nHuntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) is one of the world's largest animal 
 testing labs, operating two facilities in England and one the U.S. (East 
 Millstone, New Jersey). Every day inside its walls, thousands of animals 
 suffer and die in painful and unnecessary tests. Exposed in five undercover 
 investigations since 1989, HLS has given the public a rare glimpse inside 
 the vivisection industry. HLS employees have been exposed violently 
 punching and shaking four-month-old beagle puppies, performing a necropsy 
 (dissection) of a live monkey, transplanting a frozen pig's heart into a 
 baboon, being drunk and taking drugs at work, falsifying scientific data, 
 and breaking animal welfare laws. These investigations have resulted in HLS 
 employees being convicted of animal cruelty, fined by the USDA and almost 
 shut down by the UK government. The horrors witnessed inside HLS have given 
 rise to one of the most successful anti-vivisection campaigns of the animal 
 liberation movement to date.\n\nOn Monday, October 27th, bring friends, 
 bring signs, bring fliers, bring resistance and pay a visit to your nearest 
 Novartis office and home addresses. Spend your Monday with some sick, 
 greedy, corporate scum. Do what you can to finish off HLS. Do what you can 
 to fight for animal liberation. And do what you can to support the SHAC 7 
 (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty 7) and let them know that we have not 
 forgotten about them.\n\nBe young! Have fun! Smash HLS!\n\nTo find a
