The exchange's address and phone numbers are listed, along with the names and work numbers of two public relations staffers.
W.A.R. founder Camille Hankins confirmed that an unknown number of W.A.R. supporters made calls to the exchange. Hankins said she did not advocate threats or violence, and she urged members to be reasonable and make well-informed arguments against Life Sciences.
But she added that she had no control over what others might do.
"Animals are being tortured and murdered, and we do understand why some people would take actions to the next level. We don't do that ourselves," Hankins said. "We do understand that's part of the struggle for animal liberation, and that it's an effective tactic," she said. "Do you think the NYSE would be postponing this if all they were facing were letters and phone calls?"
Hankins promised daily protests at the NYSE and further letter-writing and phone campaigns targeting the exchange, Life Sciences' specialist firm, the trading firm that handles Life Sciences' stock, and investors should the company ultimately be listed.
