Please
join local PETA supporters to protest Harvard Medical School while they
are having an "All Staff Town Hall Meeting." We are protesting against
the horrific maternal and sensory deprivation experiments they are doing
on baby monkeys. Margaret Livingstone, a Harvard Medical School
experimenter, has spent her entire 40-year career tormenting animals,
including by tearing baby monkeys away from their mothers and making
sure they never see a human or monkey face for up to a year—just to see
how badly it damages their brain and visual development. Livingstone
immobilizes her helpless victims by surgically implanting a steel post
in their head, strapping their chin tightly, or forcing them to bite
down on a bar. After years of this torment, she kills many of the
monkeys and dissects their brains.
Baby monkeys who are stolen from
their mothers at birth are damaged permanently, both physiologically and
psychologically. Nearly $32 million in taxpayer funds from the National
Institutes of Health has been wasted since 1998 to fund Livingstone’s
monstrous reign of terror. Harvard must shut down Livingstone’s lab
permanently!

All materials (such as posters and leaflets) will be provided.
Please
dress sharp in black bottoms and a black PETA t-shirt, if you have one.
Looking uniform helps our message come across much stronger!
Please refrain from bringing dogs as there may not be shade or a safe place for them to lie down during the protest.
Note
that reserved parking will not be available, and please be prepared for
the weather. Outreach events are a fun and effective way to help
animals as well as meet local advocates, so be sure to invite others!
