For over ten years now AAA has been standing up for all animals whether they be on factory farms, in labs or on a farm. We have had great success with our Fur Free Auckland campaign and efforts to expose the reality of factory farming through public education and the media. We stand behind the idea of animal liberation and have not been afraid to use confrontational tactics nor have we shied away from the tricky issues such as possum fur.

But the time has come for a fresh start. By no means are the members of AAA any less committed to animal liberation nor are we dropping out of the struggle. Rather we are taking the chance to heal ourselves from the loss of our dear friend Suzy and are moving forward with new tactics, new ideas and a new look at how best to achieve animal liberation.

That said we have one matter to attend to in true AAA style; this being World Lab Animal Week. Please come along and let us exit with a bang.

We will be holding demonstrations through out the week and the animals need you to attend. Animal researchers need to see that there is no support for their cruel and murderous 'science'.

Timetable of Actions:

Saturday 19th April - Meet outside the Takapuna Mall (opposite the Burger King) at 7.30am ; we will move to our demonstration from there. If you would like to come and do not have transport email us and we will see what we can sort out.

Monday 21st April - Phone in Happy Hours to GlaxoSmithKline between 2 - 4pm . They can be contacted on the following numbers 0800 808 500 or 0800 804 040.
**** Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) is Europe 's largest contract animal testing laboratory. GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) are Huntingdon's single largest customer. They use HLS for experiments every single day and are responsible for the pain and suffering of thousands of animals every year. There is an international campaign to shut down HLS and there are demonstrations and actions world wide targeting GSK as part of this.

Thursday 24th April (World Lab Animal Day) - Meet at the entrance to the Winter Gardens in the Auckland Domain at 12 noon . Please do not be late to this one.

We have plaquards, leaflets and banners but please feel free to bring your as well.

Thank you to all of those who have supported us over the years; we could not have done it without you. Do not give up the fight for animal liberation; AAA is merely one tool in the tool box. There are many more and we need to use them all.

See you in the streets for World Lab Animal Week.

With love and solidarity
