come see Chattel at ATA: Thurs, Nov 6th at 8 pm

[Guest guest]

Please join the Animal Rights Direct Action Coalitionat the Artists'

Television Access (at 992 ValenciaStreet in San Francisco) on

Thursday, November 6th,2003 at 8pm for a showing of a new documentary:

 

Chattel (chat-tel) n. 1. An article of personal property. 2. A slave.

3. An insightful, new documentarythat exposes the shocking truth

about animals in oursociety-- that they have little more legal

protectionthan does any inanimate object.

 

The documentary uncovers the mistreatment and abuse inflicted on

animals in this country's vivisection industry-- abuse that continues

despite most Americans'opposition to animal experiments causing even

moderate pain and distress. Highlights of the expose include

interviews with primate expert Jane Goodall, a former USDA laboratory

inspector, several physicians, and a former employee of the Oregon

primate research center. The interviews, interspersed with footage of

protests and the terrible conditions under which animals in labs are

kept, eloquently drive the message home that the current societal

view of animals as no more than chattel is, tragically, outdated.

 

Cost is $5.00 at the door. Hope to see you there.
