TAGGED:
When walking around the lovely and historic campus of the University of Michigan (U-M), you'd never guess that tens of thousands of animals are used in grotesque experiments there.
That's because many of the cement buildings that house these animals have no windows, and nobody can hear the screams. Hidden from public view, students go from class to class each day, never knowing what happens right next to their dorm.
That's where we come in. You see, we at peta2 do know what happens behind the scenes—stuff like monkeys being intentionally addicted to cocaine and nicotine, or cases of live mice being placed out with the trash, only to be crushed to death in a compactor—and we want everyone else to know too.
That's why we worked with the student animal rights group at U-M to host a peta2 event on campus this week, called "Testing ... One, Two, Three." We even brought in one of the big guns, named Dr. Alka Chandna, who is one of PETA's senior researchers on animal experimentation issues. Animal abusers didn't stand a chance.
Of course, as you've seen before, when peta2 comes to town, people tend to notice. That's because all this week, we were everywhere at U-M.
We chalked the word "Test" hundreds of times on the campus sidewalks, to highlight the staggering number of cruel tests performed there.
What do you think—should we come to your school to shake things up? If so, why?

come to temple university!!! you should come here because most of our vegan/vegetarian options at the dining hall are limited and because there is a strong student base here who needs your support!
Posted by: Samantha Sigelakis-Minski at September 28, 2009 11:25 AMOMG!! This is awesome!! I live in MI and have been so against U of M for so many years because of the animal torture that goes on there. I am so happy they are getting a taste of whats to come from the enlightened generation! There will be a day when we look back and wonder why we were testing on animals!
Posted by: Sondra at September 28, 2009 12:13 PMYou should come to the University of West Georgia. There is disection in the biology classes as well as oceanorgaphy labs. Also there is a very small group of us vegetarians and vegans and the food options are very limited. You should definately come and help those of us trying to get the word out!!!

You should come to NMSU! I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but it would be awesome of Peta could stop it or at least raise awareness!
