While the rest of science progresses, embracing 21st century methods and technologies, medical research lags behind, holding on to outmoded, inaccurate and deceptive animal-model results, which harm not only the animals but also the humans in desperate need of real cures for very real ailments. As a major research institution, UCLA is a big part of this problem. For decades professors there have been addicting monkeys and other animals to drugs while real addicts out on the street are denied treatment resources because of chronic lack of funding. A survey released last year, showed that, far from decreasing, there has been an astounding 73% increase in animals used in experiments in recent years!
Recently the animals were struck another harsh blow with the removal of USDA Animal Welfare Act data and inspection reports from public access, making it much more difficult for independent investigators to ascertain what is happening behind locked laboratory doors.
We are asking the public to demand that UCLA reassess what kind of research they support, that they more fully utilize 21st century techniques, that they not waste tax dollars in frivolous, nonproductive and endlessly repetitive animal research and that they stop the cruelty!

All animals, regardless of species, have the ability to think, feel and suffer. All animals will move away from pain and life-threatening situations in order to live. They do not “sacrifice” themselves to us willingly. Animals should not be viewed as resources or products but as fellow living beings who share our planet and have the desire and right to live free from inflicted pain, torture, suffering, isolation, forced breeding, exploitation, captivity and murder. As humans we have the unique ability to impose our will on nature and it is our ethical duty to choose compassion over cruelty.
