the campaign
Over 40,000 non-human animals are housed on the UC Berkeley campus for research purposes.
50% are mice, 40% are cold-blooded animals, 9% are other rodents(voles, wild mice etc.), while the remaining 1% is comprised
of non-human primates, cats, coyotes, hyenas, ferrets, rabbits, and invertebrates.
This campaign exists to keep the focus on the non-human animals being tortured at UC Berkeley, and to hold those
individuals who commit atrocities against animals at UC Berkeley personally accountable with every legal means we have available.
Please join us in the campaign to stop the vivisection at UC Berkeley!
Experimenters currently using animals in research at UC Berkeley include:
Stephen E. Glickman (invasive reproductive experiments on female hyenas - inducing and then terminating pregnancy. Multiple Cesarean-section (C-section) surgeries on female hyenas)
Jack L. Gallant (invasive vision experiments and fluid deprivation on macaque monkeys)
Yang Dan (invasive vision experiments on cats and rodents - electrodes inserted into animals brains)
Ralph D. Freeman (invasive vision experiments on cats - electrodes inserted into animals brains - experiments are very similar to Yang Dan's experiments)
Frederic E. Theunissen (invasive experiments on birds - animals locked down in stereotaxic devices and electrodes inserted into their brains)
Jeffery A. Winer (invasive brain and ear recordings on cats - electrodes in animals brains)
Frank S. Werblin (vision experiments on rabbits)
John E. Casida (the notorious "LD50 tests" - toxicology and chemical warfare agent experiments on rodents)

NEW LAB COMING TO UC BERKELEY: LI KA-SHING CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES
Construction of the facility has just begun as of 4/08 and is scheduled for completion by March 2010.
This facility (known as the Li-Ka-Shing Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences) will include a basement-level vivisection lab which would expand UC Berkeley's existing Northwest Animal Facility by seventy percent.
The Zimmer Gunsul Frasca firm of Portland (http://www.zgf.com/) was chosen as the Executive Architect.
The McCarthy Building Company, Northern Pacific Division, based in San Francisco (http://www.mccarthy.com) has been hired as the main contractor.
Project Management for the construction: UC Berkeley Capital Projects (www.cp.berkeley.edu)
Please bombard them with calls/faxes/emails at work and at home and let them know what you think of their decision to assist in the torture of thousands of helpless beings.
