'World Week for Animals in Laboratories' Protest

Written by PETA

Posted 04-24-2009

"World Week for Animals in Laboratories" means demonstrations against animal testing around the world. At UCLA on Wednesday, hundreds of activists from PETA, Last Chance for Animals, In Defense of Animals, Orange County People for Animals, and Stop Animal Exploitation Now banded together and descended upon the campus to speak out for animals in laboratories.

There was no way that drivers could have missed these passionate people or PETA's posters.

These people caused quite a stir with the pro-vivisection rally happening at UCLA on the same day.

In addition to mice and rats, cats, dogs, monkeys, and many other animals experience unimaginable pain in the name of "science."

To all the folks who showed up to express their disapproval of UCLA's abuse of animals in laboratories, thank you. You guys rock our world.

Jackie If the images of animal abuse are too traumatizing for children to view maybe we should be asking ourselves why we do to animals things so horrific that children must be shielded from our dirty little secrets. Just a thought.

Jackie I think its about time for you to stop sheltering your children and get with the times. Apparentely you live in the middle of nowhere and out of touch with reality. In all realityIm surprised you know how to use the internet.

I was just wondering do you tell schools or parents when you are doing these protests. I mean I'm sure to you one more child trumatized by these images going home and crying is a victory for animal rights and a future vegetarian. For that child's parents however what do you expect them to tell their children? I suppose your answer would be just send them to PETA Kids. So hey whatever. I feel like I'm wasting my time with this post. After all I'm talking to people who are okay with suggesting to children their parents are mass murderers cause they eat meat. As well as handing out graphic phamplets and happy meals to children. Has it ever occured to you that maybe one of those children would become so upset that you would actually send the opposite message you want to and they would associate PETA with negativity? Just a thought.

KD I really think that you should get a refund on your college education. Apparentely it did you no good. How can you not know what vivisection means or see the cruelty in those pictures. Who knows? Maybe with your refund you can go back to school for 4 more years pay attention and actually learn something.

KD that red thing on top of the monkey is his brain. He's had his skull smashed open and his brain exposed and clamps stapled to it.

It is laughable how uninformed you all are of the scientific method. You are also jaded in your view of animal testing. Have you ever heard of IRB or IUCUC approval? Do a google search educate yourselves the only way you know how. I only went to college for 9 years for my understanding of science....but what do I know I'm a carnivore. If animal testing or human testing for that matter saves thousands of lives then so be it. Start volunteering for duty PETA members....take the place of those poor animals! We scientists need subjects ASAP! Next time you see a person surviving diabetes leprosy or leukemia....thank an animal test subject. Almost every medical achievement in the 20th century has relied upon the use of animal subjects. If you really want to boycott animal testing next time you become deathly ill refuse antibiotics. You will probably die but it will have saved a lab rat.

I have seen a video about three kittens that were experimented on and I had only just got my little 8 week old Hazel and those little kittens very much resembled my kitten and their urgent meows of pain and sweet little faces just destroyed me HOW could ANYONE do that to such adorable helpless animals that could potentially have been somebody's pet! The fact that my cat could have been one of those little kittens just makes me so mad!!!

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
