Subject: Covance plan to build new lab - Please Help to Stop Them
From The Covance Campaign:
Covance Laboratories, one of the world's largest animal-testing laboratories, the world's largest breeder of dogs for experiments, and one of the biggest importers of wild-caught monkeys into the United States planning to build a new testing facility in Chandler, Arizona. PETA and the Covance Campaign need your help to stop this project in its tracks!
Earlier this year, PETA went public with an 11-month investigation inside a Covance laboratory in Vienna, Virginia, documenting appalling physical and psychological abuse of monkeys. Video footage shot inside Covance was
described by a U.K. judge as being "highly disturbing".
The judge also commented on the "rough manner in which the animals are handled and the bleakness of the surroundings in which they are kept", matters which he said "cry out for explanation".
Indeed, Covance has a lot of explaining to do, from the hundreds of violations of the Animal Welfare Act documented by PETA's investigator to the sloppy business practices noted in its violations of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to problems ensuring safety of its workers and its host community (in 1989, when Covance was known as Hazleton Labs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a tactical medical military team outfitted in biohazard suits had to enter the lab, kill all the animals, and seal the facility as Ebola virus had been discovered in sick monkeys brought in by the laboratory from the Philippines) and it does not deserve a red carpet welcome into Chandler.
Please send polite letters to Mayor Boyd W. Dunn and the members of the Chandler City Council, urging them to rescind permission given to Covance to build a facility in Chandler. Let them know that you do not want Covance's presence to sully the fine reputation of Chandler, where values truly do make the difference.
Please respond promptly and forward as appropriate:

Subject: Covance Drops Lawsuit Against PETA
Covance Drops Lawsuit
Against PETA
When PETA conducted an 11-month investigation www.covancecruelty.com/insideCovanceUS.asp into the deplorable cruelty in Covance’s testing labs and went public with its findings—including damning videotape footage www.covancecruelty.com/videos.asp of workers who are slapping, choking, throwing, threatening, and psychologically tormenting monkeys-the billion-dollar animal-testing giant hoped to muzzle PETA by carrying out its bullying tactics in court. The attempt to stop PETA from publicizing the videotape footage and other evidence of the cruelty toward monkeys in its Vienna, Virginia, labs ended when the company dropped its lawsuit.
With the settlement agreement, PETA can continue to show the critical videotape and can cooperate with the federal investigations that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) www.covancecruelty.com/pdfs/CovanceUSDAComplaintCoverLetter.pdf , the Food and Drug Administration www.covancecruelty.com/pdfs/FDA-COMPLAINT.pdf , and the Commonwealth's Attorney for Fairfax County are conducting into Covance in response to PETA's complaints. PETA agreed to the settlement after learning that some of the workers involved in the abuse have been dismissed from Covance. Although Covance sought damages, attorney's fees, and court costs, PETA is not required to pay a dime to the company.
The settlement comes less than four months after a British judge-who referred to the abuse shown on the videotape as "highly disturbing"- dismissed a similar Covance lawsuit against PETA Europe www.covancecruelty.com/feat-lawsuitDropped.asp and ordered Covance to pay court costs of £50,000 (more than $80,000) in that case.
PETA will continue to hold Covance and the USDA accountable for what primates endure in Covance laboratories and will forge ahead with a vigorous campaign featuring demonstrations, advertisements, www.covancecruelty.com/feat-nytad.asp public service announcements, www.petatv.com/audio/psas/LiddyCovancePSA.mp3 celebrity endorsements, and more!
