Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 The Bank of America Foundation supports the March of Crimes which supports hideous animal experimentation. Implanting electrodes into uteruses of monkeys, sewing cats' eyelids etc. Birth defects are rising yet the March of Crimes continues to support totally useless and redundant animal mayhem which does nothing to stop the increase in birth defects See peta.org for details. We know that smoking and drug use results in fetal damage. We do not need one more animal addicted to cocaine or smoking. The money should be spent on education, prenatal care and helping families with children with birth defects. So..... I wrote to the CEO of Bank of America Kenneth Lewis in North Carolina and told him that I was planning to withdraw my checking account (snce 1976) unless I heard that BofA specified to March of Dimes that their funds were NOT to be used for animal experiments. I asked for reply - I heard nothing. I also sent a copy to my branch. Nothing SUGGESTION FOR ACTION: If anyone out there would like to join me, I would like to send a letter to BofA CEO Lewis LISTING NAMES AND BRANCH WHERE ACCOUNT IS LOCATED of people who will go TOGETHER to the main SF BofA branch with signs and a press release TO CLOSE OUR ACCOUNTS if we cannot be assured that BofA will stop funding animal experiments and concentrate on helping people. The more BofA customers we can list, the more chance of success. Any interest - SUGGESTIONS very welcome. Polly Strand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
