SAN FRANCISCO -- At least 33 people were arrested Tuesday during a
largely peaceful protest that failed its goal of shutting down an
international biotechnology conference, but succeeded in publicizing
opposition to genetically modified foods and other biotech creations.
...
A sign nearby proclaimed, "Do business with HLS -- Have a blast!",
referring to laboratory firm Huntingdon Life Sciences, targeted by an
international animal-rights campaign. Two East Bay companies --
Emeryville's Chiron Corp. and Pleasanton's Shaklee Corp. -- were bombed
last year for having had dealings with HLS; the suspect in those bombings
remains a fugitive, but several leaders of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty
USA were indicted last month on federal animal enterprise terrorism and
interstate stalking charges.

"Don't think you can do business with HLS and get away with it," Aaron
Zellhoefer, holding one end of the sign, admonished conference attendees
Tuesday.
