PROTESTERS gathered outside a town hall yesterday (Wednesday) to complain about animal testing in laboratories.

About 10 people from the group SHAC - Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty - assembled outside Hitchin Town Hall in Brand Street at about 2.30pm to voice their concerns about the treatment of animals at Huntingdon Life Sciences.

Their protests were aimed at a company which is believed to have links with Huntingdon and is situated in the office block across from the town hall. The company was targeted several years ago in a similar demonstration.
