For some background information from me about:
Boehringer wanted ansich only be established elsewhere, but the site was moved because of massive public protests - new and current location: Hanover. . The text of Boehringer diesbzgl: "In Hanover, we do not expect much resistance to" And so it came as it had to come - our Hanover politicians were quite nice on the building, since research, innovation and a lot of money is - to my knowledge (improved me if I'm wrong) have voted at that time other than black, yellow, and the SPD, the Greens and even for the construction - only the left opposed it.
The site was then (2009) occupied by animal rights activists - five of them were for trespassing into court drawn.
The most ridiculous thing about this building, however, the madness that will be their aim: It is researched, among other medications for animals - sounds like first of all not so bad - but research is carried out on animals for improved factory farms - ergo: this you can increase productivity - animals have nothing of it - sorry people the money eyes resembled the "greed-is-cool-Metalität" indulge. will also fears the system is not secure enough (dangerous viruses, etc.)
The building has unfortunately begun weighing says, but the protest must demolish NOT!
who unfortunately does not come from the area and can actively participate in the protest in front of the site - at least
drugs the company "BOEHRINGER" should boycott!
