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.



I do say, who's that charming chimp in the student newspaper?

What do you think—should we come to your school to shake things up? If so, why?

This week the Road Warriors stepped outside of the concert scene to hit up some colleges in Michigan to help some local animal rights groups accomplish their goals.

At Eastern Michigan University we were helping to ban KFC from campus; yea they're still up to their dirty business. And this AR group already got a veg Bistro added to their dining hall—how sweet is that?

At The University of Michigan we were petitioning to stop primate testing on campus!! No joke. These poor primates are being injected with cocaine and alcohol! Makes you wonder what's going on on YOUR campus, doesn't it?

We even got to hit up an amazing veg restaurant in Ann Arbor, MI, called Seva. We got to chow down on vegan nachos with soy cheese, a chocolate shake, and a Tofurky Melt with roasted red peppers—mmmmmmmmmmm!




Want to make some noise on your campus? I thought so. Get to it!

I'll be in touch. Stay Brutal.
