Money Guru Sues Animal Rights 'Extremists'
LOS ANGELES (CN) - Money-manager BlackRock claims that animal rights "extremists" have terrorized its employees because the global asset management firm has indirect links to Huntingdon Life Sciences, which tests pharmaceutical, agricultural and veterinary products on animals.
Blackrock sued Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty and three of its members in Superior Court.
Blackrock claims that since its inception in 1999, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty has pepper sprayed a Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) employee "in full view of his family," fire-bombed cars, and beaten a HLS managing director with ax handles outside his home.
It claims that the FBI has identified Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) as a terrorist group and that its members have been criminally convicted.
