Next Vigil at UCSF: Thursday, March 15th, 4:30 PM....Update on Yogi (monkey, UCSF)

[Guest guest]

Dear Animal Advocates, Companions, Lovers, Liberators

and Vigilers! 

 

The next vigil on behalf of animals incarcerated and

exploited in laboratory experiments at the University

of California, San Francisco (UCSF) will be held on

the third Thursday of the month (as usual) - March 15,

4:30 PM (till about 6 PM) at UCSF's Parnassus Campus -

that is 513 Parnassus Avenue in San Francisco. 

(Please see information on public transportation to

UCSF below.)

 

Note Regarding Public Transportation:  If you would

like to take public transportation to UCSF, the San

Francisco Muni buses #6 and #43 both go right by the

vigil's venue on Parnassus Avenue; also you can take

the N-Judah streetcar, get off at Carl & Arguello

streets, and take the elevator (going up) within the

UCSF facility to get to Parnassus Avenue.  If you are

coming from the East Bay, you can take BART, get off

at any stop between Embarcadero and Civic Center in

San Francisco, and then take an N-Judah streetcar

going outbound (and follow directions above regarding

N-Judah streetcar).

 

Update on Yogi: The monkey called Yogi (at UCSF) will

probably be transported to Mindy's Memory Primate

Sanctuary in April - after his hair has grown back

over the scars left from the head plate that was

surgically removed forever from his head.  Never again

will he have to carry that extra weight on his brain

and mind.  One can only imagine the pain - both mental

and physical - he endured over the years that he was a

subject of brain-mapping experiments devised by Dr.

Stephen Lisberger, of UCSF. More on his and the3

other monkeys' trials and tribulation in a later

update.

 

Many thanks to all who have given monetary support to

Mindy's Memory Primate Sanctuary. It will certainly

help in the construction of a new enclosure for Yogi

at the sanctuary.

 

Also many thanks to any who gave Vigil for Animals

support over the past few months. Thanks to you,

Vigil for Animals entered the Year of the Boar nearly

$190 in the black. The Year of the Dog took its toll

on expenses so much we were operating in the red for

much of that year.

 

And last but not least, please remember to be kind to

yourself, as well as other animals.  Hope to see you

at the vigil - take care!
