What is Huntingdon Life Sciences?
'''Huntingdon Life Sciences''' (HLS) are the largest [[animal testing]] company in [[Europe]]. They were founded in 1951 and are based in [[Huntingdon]], [[Cambridgeshire]], [[United Kingdom]]. They also have a laboratory in [[New Jersey]], [[United States]]. Huntingdon Life Sciences is an international contract research organisation offering a comprehensive range of non-clinical development services. The UK lab carries out medical and product research for many organisations. Many people feel strongly against HLS. The [[Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty]] (SHAC) campaign group are the main opposition group. SHAC were set up in 1999. The opposition to HLS has had many forms. While most [[animal rights]] people have used legal means of protest, some people have become [[extremist]]s and done very bad things. Thus the opposition to HLS has become an example to many people of a good cause gone wrong.
