Intel Brings Animal Cruelty To Town

 

Local Groups to Protest on May 6

 

More than thirty years ago, in response to a storm of

public outrage over the blinding of sparrows,

Westinghouse changed the rules of its prestigious

science talent competition to prohibit youngsters from

performing experiments on live vertebrate animals. And

today, the rules of the Siemens Westinghouse science

and technology competition for high school seniors

also bar projects involving experiments on vertebrate

animals.

 

But the Intel International Science and Engineering

Fair (ISEF), continues to allow high school students

of all ages to perform invasive experiments on

animals. This includes injecting them with toxic

substances and other harmful chemicals, exposing them

to radiation, performing surgery, depriving them of

food, and having them killed.

 

According to Professor Peter Singer, President of

Animal Rights International and the author of Animal

Liberation, ³the continuing sponsorship by Intel of

cruel animal experiments promotes a culture of

callousness among our youth without any demonstrable

benefit to science.²

 

The enclosed ad, produced by New York based Animal

Rights International, has been run nation-wide and

abroad by a number of organizations eliciting outraged

response from thousands of readers. But in spite of

on-going efforts to persuade INTEL to change the ISEF

rules and ensure that no vertebrate animal is hurt,

INTEL refuses to do so!

 

ESAR (Engineers and Scientist for Animal Rights) and

In Defense of Animals (IDA) a California animal

protection organization based in Mill Valley plans to

hold a demonstration Sunday May 6 to draw public

attention to Intel¹s disregard of broad public

sentiment over animal cruelty. The protest will take

place at noon at the Tech Museum, 201 S. Market St in

down town San Jose. Further details about the

demonstration can be obtained from Alfredo Kuba, of South Bay IDA, Mountain View, California

at (650) 965-8705 or sbida
