National Demo: University of Bradford
Saturday 13th February 2010 -
Meeting 12noon at Centenary Square, Bradford, BD1 9ST
On Saturday 13th February 2010, campaigners from across the country will
be decending on Bradford so as to call for the university to end all
animal experiments. (see weblink below)
A rally, stalls and speeches are being held in Centenary Square
(next to the Town Hall) before marching through Bradford town
centre and up to the university laboratories.
The University of Bradford have been exposed for horrific animal
abuse inside their laboratories, such as purposely starving animals to
make them perform procedures, conducting drug addiction
experiments on nursing animals and cutting them open with scalpels to see
the effects of scarring. All experiments happening could be replaced with
non-animal methods.
Please join us on this important day and speak up for the closure of
Bradford’s animal torture laboratory.
