PETA Campaign Shuts Down Cruel Marmoset Laboratory at UMass

After a relentless PETA campaign, the University of Massachusetts—Amherst marmoset laboratory of Agnès Lacreuse has closed, ending more than ten years of cruel and deadly experiments on marmosets. Local advocates with Western Massachusetts Animal Rights Advocates and Compassionate Alliance for Nonhumans helped keep the pressure on. In addition to ads, protests, disruptions, celebrity letters, and a lawsuit, our campaign included nearly 1.4 million messages to UMass from PETA supporters calling for the end of Lacreuse’s scientifically bogus experiments.
