[Guest guest]

The Alliance For Animals and the Madison Coalition for Animal Rights

in Madison, Wisconsin, will be hosting a conference

entitled, " Primate Vivisection: What the American Society of

Primatologists Doesn't Want You to Know " on June 11, from 9 – 5 at

the Pyle Center in downtown Madison. This conference and accompanying

protests and activities will occur during the American Society of

Primatologists (ASP) annual meeting, being held in Madison from June

8 – 11. The ASP conference features a large number of researchers

involved in primate vivisection, and in other types of research on

captive primates. Ours will be a " counter conference " that will

include the following experts speaking on the science, politics, and

ethics of using nonhuman primates in research:

Senior Policy Analyst

American Anti-Vivisection Society

 

Michael Budkie

Executive Director

Jeremy Beckham, President

Utah Primate Freedom Project

Whether you are a veteran activist or just learning about these

issues, this is a great opportunity to learn more about vivisection.

There will also be a demonstration against the University of

Wisconsin's use of animals in " research " on Saturday, June 12 at noon

on the UW Library Mall. Following the demonstration Michael Budkie

will host an activist training session where you can learn how to

stop vivisection and network with other activists. For more
