Apparently Animal Rights Activists Don't Read this Blog

From today's news from the United Kingdom:

The extremist campaign against animal research moved to a new level on Monday when private GlaxoSmithKline shareholders received threatening letters, demanding they sell their shares within 14 days or face public exposure. Campaigners have not previously targeted individual investors in a multinational company.


The unsigned letters - from a previously unknown group called Campaign against Huntingdon Life Sciences - reached shareholders in yesterday's post. GSK said about 50 worried recipients, mainly elderly people, contacted the company but it had no way of knowing how many of its 167,000 registered shareholders would receive them. Many were likely to find letters on the doormat when they got home from work


Since I've often spoke about owning GSK, GlaxoSmithKline (or whatever the hell name the conglomerate is going by these days), I'm wondering where my angry letter is. Frankly, a little exposure could only help this blog. The least they could do is leave a comment. Hello? Any animal rights folk out there? Anyone pissed at me for owning GSK?
