Shame on UPS and Eli Lilly
Today we got some activists together and
went to blame and shame costumers and suppliers of HLS in the suburb
of Montreal.
First stop was a busy UPS Store in the rich area of Pointe-Claire. We
went equipped with bandanas, air horns, posters, flyers and our megaphone.
We gave leaflets while yelling and making a lot of noise. The very relaxed
employees didn’t even bother to get up from their chair. They
simply called the boss to tell him we were telling the truth about their
unethical relation with animal cruelty. We made sure to be really loud
and told everyone around this strip mall to boycott UPS because of their
involvement with HLS. A lot of people took our leaflet and promise to
file complaints to UPS and boycott them forever.
Second demo was ELI LILLY. This is a really big building they share
with one more company. It seems Eli lilly employees know their company
are doing something wrong because they were very
uncomfortable, and
even more paranoid…they close all the lights
from the first floor!!!!
It seems they knew exactly what the
SHAC campaign was about since all
the employees were prepared and knew what to do in case of ‘SHAC
freedom of speech attack’.
We made a couple of laps around the building
naming and shaming ELI LILLY for their involvement in the animal cruelty
business. In the parking lot we saw an employee trying to escape our
speech on the reality about the ethics of her employer. To make sure
all the employees on the second floor to the 4th floor didn’t
miss the show, one activist even climb a really big pile of snow in
the parking lot and confronted these cowards with a megaphone and a
poster.
We will come back for you ELI LILLY until you drop HLS. From now on
we will make sure every time we pass in front of your office to stop
to remind you of the 500 animals you contributed to torture every day.
Last stop of the day was a very large UPS
facility.
This is the main UPS warehouse for the center and east of Canada. There
is 4000 employees working there at the same time, on a 24h, 7 days basis.
There is even a Canadian border duty patrol station on place to accommodate
UPS. We were not ready to confront that many security and police officer
on this site so we opted to cross the barbed wire fence and go past
the security guard booths to the giant parking lot and leaflet the employees
cars and UPS trucks.
After we gave all our leaflets we manage to observe around and located
all the security guard offices because next time we come we will do
a big loud and angry demo to inform everyone on this site about the
cruelty UPS support by making it easier for HLS to operate.
UPS we got you by the balls, drop HLS or face the humiliations everywhere
you are in the world.
