AR-News: (UK) Companies urged to stand up to protestors

[Animalconcerns]

Companies with clients facing protests from groups like animal rights
activists should stand up to their agitators, rather than dump their
difficult customers, according to a senior investment community figure.
...
Although many such companies suffer these attacks, the move was prompted
by recent action from Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) against
Huntingdon Life Sciences animal laboratory and its service providers.

Among its victims was Big Four firm Deloitte, which withdrew as
Huntingdon's auditors last year following intense protest from the group.
SHAC is currently on the trail of new auditor Hugh Scott, whose details
have been deliberately obscured.
