Urgent: Help Save 60 Dogs From Live Animal Lab at MCW
[the following press release is published for your information]
Today, Feb. 26, the Medical College of Wisconsin began the first day of its three-day physiology lab in which 60 live dogs will be used and killed. More than 60 people stood in front of the school’s main entrance and peacefully protested this cruel and unnecessary course. Although the lab has started, there is still time to make a difference if we act now.
1. Send a letter to the editor. MCW’s controversial dog lab has received extensive news coverage, including this this article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Polite letters to the editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel can be submitted online.
2. Join PCRM physicians and members of the Wisconsin Humane Society for peaceful demonstrations at MCW. Protesters will urge students not to participate in the lab and will ask MCW to eliminate live animal labs in favor of humane alternatives.
