We will have have signs and fliers, we just need you!

If you cannot make the demo, please contact Janice Ellis, the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney, and ask her to not let this horrible crime go unpunished.

Felony Animal Cruelty charges are the only thing that will get SNBL to clean up its act, since clearly the USDA intends to do nothing.

WWAIL Protest at UW Western Ave Facility
When: Thursday, April 24th @ 4 - 6pm
Where: UW Primate Facility on Western (3010 Western Ave)

NARN is not letting the UW off the hook. Thanks to the efforts of PETA and SAEN (Stop Animals Exploitation Now), hundreds of documents have been uncovered that show flagrant abuses by animal researchers. The scientists that claim their work is necessary and done only to help people have blatantly ignored their own staff veterinarians. Aside from the incredibly sloppy science these doctors practice, how exactly, does inserting electrodes into the brains of monkeys help people?

We have 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.

To learn more about the abuses at the UW Primate Center, check out www.uwkillsanimals.com and

We will be meeting at The Olympic Sculpture Park across the street from the University of Washington Primate Center, 3010 Western Ave.

Signs and leaflets will be provided.

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.
