On Halloween, HLS protesters returned to the home of Invitrogen executive Janet Lambert, where a Dec 19th police confrontation nearly led to the death of an activist over a cliff.
Police showed up-after maybe 15 minutes, but made more aggressive moves. The cops DID claim that Janet Lambert no longer lived there, but protesters spotted her husband Brett Lambert (that crazy security guard type from Dec 19) inside! False claims that the target has moved are a common ploy at home demos-and none of the neighbors made this claim.
Invitrogen has two contracts with Huntingdon Life Sciences, supplying HLS with lab equipment and chemicals. They also specialize in laboratory automation . HLS currently owes about $30,000 to Invitrogen, making further business with HLS a dicey proposition.
Huntingdon Life Sciences is a contract animal testing laboratory in New Jersey where 7 undercover investigations have caught "researchers" punching beagle puppies in the face and dissecting live monkeys without any painkillers.
