Dear Animal Advocates, Companions, Guardians, Vigilers, Lovers and Liberators: Following are 3 dates to remember for the sake of animals exploited in experiments at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). (Please note that the demonstration originally planned for April 25th at UCSF Parnassus campus has been changed to April 26th, Wednesday). Date = April 23, Sunday ... Time = Noon till ? ... Place = Animal Switchboard Office, Fort Mason Center, Building C, Room 262, 2nd Floor, San Francisco Purpose: Vigil Gathering/Sign Making/Strategy Planning regarding upcoming events; i.e., April 24th Press conference at UCSF Mission Bay Campus and April 26th Demonstration at UCSF Parnassus Campus. Date = April

24, Monday ... Time = 11 AM till ? ... Place = UCSF Mission Bay Campus, 1700 4th Street (at intersection of 4th & 16th streets), San Francisco Purpose: Press Conference on animals used in medical experiments at UCSF, expected speakers include Dr. Elliot Katz, In Defense of Animals; Virginia Handley, Animal Switchboard; and Bob O'Brien, Vigil for Animals. Speakers will call attention to the plight of animals used in lab experiments at UCSF - and the university's lack of response and accountability to the surrounding community's questions and concerns about their research projects annually exploiting hundreds of monkeys, pigs, sheep, cats, and dogs - and tens of thousands of mice, rats, fish and other animals. Note: The press conference does not require a great number of persons to

attend, but it would be great if you can come. However, if you need to make a choice between attending press conference and the demonstration on April 26 (Wednesday), please come to the demonstration on April 26 - we will need more activists for that event. Date = April 26, Wednesday ... Time = 11:30 AM till 1 PM ... Place = UCSF Parnassus Campus, 513 Parnassus Avenue, San Francisco Purpose: Demonstration, leafleting, and street theater. Caren Conine, Investigative Canine, a recently conceived character, will be in attendance. Among other unresolved questions and concerns about UCSF's exploitation of animals, she will be trying to discover what happened to dozens of German shepherds (some just puppies) and several mixed-breed dogs exploited for the purposes of UCSF Research Project

#A1644-00961 regarding heart disease. Though the project expired in late 2004, UCSF (to this date) has not released records detailing what happened to the dogs involved in the project. Requests for information about what happened to the dogs have been submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture, as well as UCSF; neither has responded to this date. WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO TO HELP: We need help making signs. Following are a few ideas for signs. "UCSF - NOT A WORTHY GUARDIAN OF DOGSUCSF - NO ACCOUNTABILITY - NO DOGS" "NO TAXATION WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY" By the way, I have several enlarged photos (11" x 17") of dogs (one of monkey holding dog) that you can use to make signs with. Please call me if you want to use them (phone: 415-751-3756). Bob O'Brien
