Each year from April 16th to 23rd, animal advocates and activists across the world come together to call for an alternative to the antiquated and unnecessary usage of animals in biomedical experimentation. Billions of tax dollars are wasted and millions of innocent lives are lost under the fraudulent guise of science. We at the Northwest Animal Rights Network and UWkillsAnimals.com, in coordination with the Seattle Animal Defense League, will be banding together with other activists worldwide to protest these atrocities for WWAIL. We ask you to join us at the events listed below:
Friday April 15th, 7:00pm
"Chattel" Documentary Screening
As a precursor to the events for WWAIL and to provide a visual reminder of the importance of the work necessary to stop the use of animals in research and testing, this documentary will be screened which focuses on the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Portland, OR. (excerpt)
