In the laboratory of Lynne Kiorpes at NYU's Center for
Neural Science, young
macaque monkeys are experimented on to study visual function. Kiorpes
and
her associates surgically damage the vision of monkeys -- some as young
as 10
days old. Monkeys' eyes may be injected with a neurotoxin to paralyze
the
muscles ... or the researchers cut and rearrange the eye muscles. The
monkeys
have bolts and dental acrylic attached to their heads to immobilize
them, and
coils are attached to their eyes to trace the eyes' movements. The
research
methods are limited only by the vivisectors' crude and hideous
imaginations.
These and other outrageous experiments take place daily
at NYU.
Meanwhile..each year in the US, over 20 million animals
are subjected to the
horrors of scientific research.
Who will speak out for them?
