LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 18, 2007 -- Last Chance for Animals (LCA), Bob Linden
from Go Vegan Radio and animal activists to protest vivisection on the UCLA
campus Friday, January 19th. All concerned students and citizens are urged
to stand up and take a stand against vivisection.
"We will not stand still for animal cruelty, especially animal cruelty
under the auspices of medical research. It is not possible to validate
what goes on in these labs. In 1998 LCA was responsible for exposing the
horrors of the UCLA animal research laboratories on national TV. The
footage was broadcast all over the country via CNN and other news outlets.
Almost 20 years later nothing has changed, the same horrors still exist.
The student population of UCLA should be ashamed at what goes on in their
research labs. UCLA has been abusing animals in the name of science for
far too long. We ask that the student population and concerned citizens
take a stand against vivisection. Do it for the animals!" states Chris
DeRose, President & Founder, LCA.
LCA has been fighting against the cruelty of vivisection for over two
decades and vows to make 2007 a precedent setting year for animals in
research.
Animal rights activists will continue to protest peacefully and lawfully
until the immoral vivisection practices that run rampant across this
country are stopped.
