Activists confront Raymond James & Eagle Asset

FROM THE NEWSWIRE: Eagle Assets is now Huntingdon Life Sciences largest investor with over 14 million dollars in shares in the company also known as Life Sciences Research, ticker symbol LSR. Activists are beginning to launch a full-scale protest campaign against Eagle Assets and their parent company Raymond James, which has offices all over the United States.

Activists in North Carolina went to speak with Raymond James at 100 Europa Dr. Suite 500 in Chapel Hill, NC, the parent company of Eagle Assets, who now invests over 14 million dollars in LSR, making them Huntingdon's largest institutional investor. We spoke with the manager in her fifth floor office about HLS and she said she would contact her supervisors in Florida. Afterwards, we had a very loud protest outside the business office complex getting the attention of employees who came out for fliers, constructions workers, security guards, and, of course, eventually the police who showed up with six cars right when we were ready to go. We followed up with another protest outside of the Chapel Hill Staples store, so they know we haven't forgotten about them.

Until Raymond James tells their subsidiary Eagle Assets to divest from LSR, we'll be protesting their offices all over North Carolina and urging activists in other states and other countries to do the same. Raymond James has offices in almost every city across the country. They and their subsidiary, Eagle Asset Management, are based out of Florida.

SAMPLE LETTER:

Dear Sir/Madam,

It has come to my attention that your company holds over 15 million dollars in HLS shares (ticker symbol LSR).

HLS are the worlds most notorious animal testing facility and have been exposed time and time again. They were caught on film punching beagle puppiesin the face, and cutting open primates without any anesthetic. If you are in any doubt about what goes on in the secret labs of HLS, then please read what their own workers say, and see footage taken inside the lab itself:

http://www.shac.net/MISC/Inside_HLS.html

I am sure you will agree the footage taken in HLS is horrific and the workers account is utterly Shameful. I hope that you can use your position to put an end to your companies support of the disgusting cruelty at Huntingdon Life Sciences by selling your shares. Please contact your directors, and ask them to stop supporting animal cruelty.

Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully

***YOUR NAME***
