This event will be presented by the Berkeley Organization for Animal Advocacy and In Defense of Animals. The Berkeley Organization for Animal Advocacy (BOAA) is a non-violent student organization dedicated to ending animal-based research at UC Berkeley. BOAA believes UC Berkeley should be held accountable to growing segments of the population who are aware that animal experimentation is unjust to its victims—unjust to the animals who are used, unjust to people who suffer as a result of vivisection's ineffectiveness, and unjust to taxpayers and students who subsidize this research.
