BOAA's World Week for Animals in Labs Demos/Events

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends of Animals,

 

Please join Berkeley Organization for Animal Advocacy for the

demonstrations, vigil, and lecture we have planned for World Week for

Animals in Laboratories. The 40,000 animals in laboratories on the UC

Berkeley Campus need our support to expose and end their plight!

 

Thank you,

Julie

Demonstration against tobacco company Philip Morris at the Cal Career Fair

 

The tobacco industry, including Philip Morris, uses animals to test the

effectiveness of new products. Primates, cats, dogs, chickens, frogs, guinea

pigs, and rats are just some of the animals that have been used for

experimentation. In coalition with the Campaign Against Transnational

Tobacco and several other student groups, BOAA will demand that Philip

Morris end its financial partnership with the UC Berkeley Career Center and

stop recruiting UC Berkeley students for careers in the tobacco industry.
