An awesome PETA rep. Wendy Fernandez is going to be in town to do this demo!

Please join local PETA supporters to protest Harvard University for its horrific maternal and sensory deprivation experiments on 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!

For more information and ways to take action, please see: https://headlines.peta.org/harvard-baby-monkeys/

Here are the details:
WHEN: Thursday, May 25th from 8:00 am – 9:30 am
WHERE: Johnston Gate, Peabody St. & Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA (please see this map: https://goo.gl/maps/UVXkuKPSJZK44mum9)
CONTACT: Wendy Fernandez at Wen...@peta.org

All materials (such as posters and leaflets) will be provided.
Please dress sharp in black bottoms and a black PETA t-shirt (we will provide one if you don’t already own 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!
