OPERATION: 12 DAYS OF XMAS '09
DAY 3: God Rest Ye Greedy
Money Men
One of the most frustrating aspects of our work against the
notorious animal abusing firm of Huntingdon Life Sciences, has been the
on-again/off-again Fortress Investment Group campaign. Fortress is the company
that financed Huntingdon Life Sciences (trading on the NYSE Arca as LSR) back a
few years and allowed them to keep torturing and killing animals. Inside
information has prompted SHAC to reinstate the campaign against Fortress.
For more detailed information, click on the graphic above or go to:
http://www.shac.net/action/financial/targets.html
Worst case scenario,
they are still financing the killing, best case scenario is that they no longer
do, but must be held accountable for the close to half a million animals that
have been killed by Huntingdon Life Sciences while they were fueled by Fortress
funds. This Day 3 of Xmas '09 is dedicated to the greedy enablers at Fortress
Investment Group.
God Rest Ye Greedy Money Men
(Dedicated to
Fortress Investment Group)
God rest ye greedy money men
Let nothing
block your way.
You funded L-S-R which rose
In an astounding way.
You
raked in all the profits
While the beagle pups did pay
O tidings of
profits and wealth
Profits and wealth
O tidings of profits and wealth
From England to America
This wretched company came
And unto all the
animals
They brought enormous pain
How can they get away with it?
Fortress Investment is to blame
O tidings of torture and death
Torture
and death
O tidings of torture and death
This evil company was broke
Their shares they took a dive
Until the greedy Fortress scum
Gave them
loans to stay alive
O Fortress, how could you
knowing animals would die?
O tidings of blood and pain
Blood and pain
O tidings of blood and pain
To your homes, activists did come
to shout and shame your names
Your
crazy neighbors took offense
and expressed to us their rage
We told them
to take it up with you
that we were not to blame
O tidings of
misdirected angst
Angst and dismay
O tidings of angst and dismay
'Fear not, then' said the men in masks
'Let nothing you affright'
"This day we come to free them all
And things will look so bright
To
liberate them all is right
From Baker's power and might."
O weeping
and whining by Cass
Whining by Cass
O weeping and whining by Cass
Now to the A-L-F & SHAC give praise
All you that profit from pain
And with
true love and brotherhood
Forget this evil name - HLS
You may have lost
your soul this year
But once you cut your ties
We'll take you off the
target list
You'll no longer have to lie
Then back to tidings of
comfort and wealth
FUCK H-L-S
Call in your loan, get out of this mess.
This Friday in solidarity with the SHAC Global Week of Action, activists
will gather at the world headquarters of Fortress Investment Group. In keep with
the theme of the holidays, we will be out in force educating the public about
the cruelty that goes on behind locked doors and razor wire fences at Huntingdon
Life Science. We will also be letting folks know that Fortress Investment Group
is responsible for keeping this horrible killer company in business.
