>From Alka @ PeTA: 

We need your help to stop three hideously cruel experiments on monkeys at Columbia University!

Please join PeTA for an important demonstration on Wednesday, April 14th,  from 11:45 am – 1 pm.

WHERE:
Intersection of Broadway & West 116th Streets (at the ornate 116th Street 
Columbia gates)

WHEN:
Wednesday, April 14th, from 11:45 am – 1 pm

A veterinarian working at Columbia revealed that primates in Columbia’s 
labs are denied the companionship and mental stimulation they desperately 
need. They languish in barren cells of metal and concrete. Then they are 
tortured in highly invasive surgeries and denied post-operative 
painkillers. These complex and social beings are often so neglected that 
many die.

Experimenters at Columbia are 1) causing strokes in baboons by cutting out 
their left eyeballs and using the empty eye sockets in their skulls to 
clamp a critical blood vessel to their brains; 2) surgically implanting 
heavy pipes into the skulls of rhesus macaques to induce stress, to then 
study the connection between stress and women’s menstrual cycles; and 3) 
pumping nicotine into pregnant baboons and their fetuses. There is no 
excuse for any of these crude and painful, traumatic experiments.

For more information, please go to:  ColumbiaCruelty.com

The demonstration on April 14th will focus on the menstrual experiments. 
Look forward to fun and interesting visuals that drive home the point that 
Columbia should stop menstrual studies on primates (period!). Please bring 
your friends, family, anyone you can! If you need more information on the 
April 14th demonstration, feel free to get in touch with me via email 
(AlkaC at peta.org) or via phone (office: 757-962-8210 or cell: 757-943-7439). 

Thank you for being a voice for the animals.

"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.
