Coalition to Abolish Animal Testing
No Cures in 40 Years:
Shut Down the OHSU/Oregon Primate Center


This Tuesday, at the Cascadia Rising Infoshop there will be a showing of the video “Lethal Medicine” which exposes the lies behind animal research.

>From Portland Indymedia:

What's wrong with animal research? Please join us for a showing of Lethal Medicine on Tuesday March 23 and find out. 

This movie gives an overview of the animal research industry, and the reasons for the failure of the animal model to find cures for human diseases. The movie has rare lab footage, and interviews with doctors and scientists who carefully debunk the mythology that "animal research saves human lives." From a human health and environmental standpoint, animal research is shown to be dangerously misleading. 

To bring it on home to Portland, an 8 minute undercover video shot at OHSU's primate center by whistleblower Matt Rossell, former primate technician, will also be shown. 

Afterwards, Rossell will lead a discussion and answer any questions. As an employee at OHSU's primate center, Rossell was one of two people charged with the responsibility of caring for the psychological well-being of more than 1,200 non-human primates. He worked at OHSU for over 2 years. 

If you've wondered about the growing controversy surrounding animal research--both on grounds of animal cruelty and scientific waste--this presentation should help explain why many are coming forward to oppose it. 

Free, but donations for Cascadia Rising Infoshop welcome.

"The Earth And Her Threatened Animal Nations Deserve The Same Level Of Defense That We Support When Human Life Is Threatened. Otherwise We Are Just More Hypocrites Wanting Change Without The Risk And Sacrifice That Is Already Being Made By Others." 

I Believe It Is Far Better To Live For Animal Liberation Than To Die For It.
