The Alliance For Animals and the Madison Coalition for Animal Rights in
Madison, Wisconsin, will be hosting a free conference entitled, "Primate
Vivisection: What the American Society of Primatologists Doesn't Want You to
Know" on June 11, from 9 - 5 at the Pyle Center in downtown Madison. This
conference and accompanying protests and activities will occur during the
American Society of Primatologists (ASP) annual meeting, being held in
Madison from June 8 - 11. The ASP conference
features a large number of researchers involved in primate vivisection, and
in other types of research on captive primates. Ours will be a "counter
conference" that will include the following experts speaking on the science,
politics, and ethics of using nonhuman primates in research:

Crystal Miller-Spiegel
Senior Policy Analyst
American Anti-Vivisection Society

Michael Budkie
Executive Director
Stop Animal Exploitation Now

Jeremy Beckham, President
Utah Primate Freedom Project

Matt Rossell, Director
Northwest In Defense of Animals

Whether you are a veteran activist or just learning about these issues, this
is a great opportunity to learn more about vivisection. There will also be a
demonstration against the University of Wisconsin's use of animals in
"research" on Saturday, June 12 at noon on the UW Library Mall. Following
the demonstration Michael Budkie will host an activist
training session where you can learn how to stop vivisection and network
with other activists. For more information and directions, see our website
at www.allanimals.org <http://www.allanimals.org/>  or call
608-257-6333.
