ZURICH (Dow Jones)--An animal rights group Thursday claimed responsibility for having attacked the vacation home of Novartis AG (NVS) Chief Executive and Chairman Daniel Vasella in Austria.
The group, whose claim was published on the Internet by U.S.-based Bite Back Magazine, said it destroyed Vasella's vacation home early Monday morning by using "60 liters of petrol."
Vandals sprayed a gravestone of the extended Vasella family with the slogan "Drop HLS Now," a reference to the British testing laboratory Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) that was often targeted in the past by animal rights activists, a police spokesman said. They also stuck two wooden crosses in the ground, the spokesman said. He declined to confirm Swiss media reports the crosses carried the names of the Novartis CEO and his wife.
