Prompted by a complaint from PETA, federal investigators opened a formal inquiry at the University of Washington, Seattle (UW). New information from the ensuing investigation has confirmed widespread violations of animal protection regulations involving studies in which experimenters cut off the tops of monkeys' skulls, insert electrodes into their brains, and implant wire coils in their eyes. The monkeys are then restrained in experimentation chairs, with their heads bolted in place so that they can't move while experimenters track their eye movements. They are kept hungry or thirsty much of the time so that they'll comply during tests to get a sip of water or a bite of food.
Please take some time out of your busy day to speak up for these animals who are tortured in UW's laboratories. They do not have a voice, so we must use ours to speak out for them.
What: Demonstration for Primates at University of WashingtonWhen: Wednesday, March 5, 12 noon to 1pmWhere: The Olympic Sculpture Park across the street from the University of Washington Primate Center, 3010 Western Ave., Seattle
