Victim of intimidationHuntingdon Life Sciences has been the target Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty since 1999, a campaign run by British and American animal-rights activists, who seek to close the company down for its treatment of, and experimentation upon, live animals.[7] The campaign has included acts of intimidation and violence, including against Cass, who sustained head injuries when he was attacked outside his home on 22 February 2001 by three people armed with pickaxe handles and CS gas. A neighbour who tried to help him was sprayed with the gas. Detective Chief Inspector Tom Hobbs of Cambridgeshire police told reporters:"It's only by sheer luck that we are not beginning a murder inquiry."[8] David Blenkinsop, who had previously engaged in actions using the name of the Animal Liberation Front, was jailed for three years for the attack.[9] Notes1. ^1 [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1397336/Animal-test-chiefs-CBE-is-for-firm.html Animal test chief's CBE 'is for firm'], Telegraph; accessed 23 February 2014. {{DEFAULTSORT:Cass, Brian}}2. ^1 Huntingdon Life Sciences Annual Report 2000, p. 67 3. ^ , iat.org.uk; accessed 23 February 2014. 4. ^Huntingdon Life Sciences annual reports (1999 & 2009) 5. ^1 "Brian Cass wins Industry award" {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226055839/http://www.pharmatimes.com/Article/01-09-28/Brian_Cass_wins_Industry_award.aspx |date=February 26, 2014 }}, pharmatimes.com; accessed 23 February 2014. 6. ^Programme of Meetings, vetpath.co.uk; accessed 23 February 2014. 7. ^Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty website, accessed 23 February 2014. 8. ^"The Animals Of Hatred" {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060629082805/http://lists.envirolink.org/pipermail/ar-news/Week-of-Mon-20031013/008215.html |date=2006-06-29 }}; accessed 23 February 2014. 9. ^"Jail for lab boss attacker", BBC News; accessed 23 February 2014. 6 : 1947 births|Place of birth missing (living people)|Animal testing|Living people|Commanders of the Order of the British Empire|British businesspeople |
