World Week for Animals in Laboratories (WWAIL)
April 21 - 29, 2001
Yale University is reason enough for all US citizens to
be outraged over the needless cruelty being funded with our money.
Mutant mice lacking a specific neurochemical receptor for nicotine are
being tested to determine whether they will still become addicted to
intravenous injections of nicotine. They are being tested to see what
effect nicotine will have on their pain perception and anxiety. They are
being tested to see whether nicotine will interfere with their addiction
to cocaine, amphetamine, or alcohol.
This is what the government refers to as expenditure on
health care.
Now is the time to begin considering what you will do to
educate and alert the public about the plight of the animals being
sacrificed at the foot of $cience in laboratories in your neighborhood
and around the world.
Now is the time to begin planning events in your area.
As you consider, plan, and act, In Defense of Animals
(IDA) will be there to help you. IDA can help you promote your events
and actions by:
1. Preparing fact sheets to hand out at your events. If
you have a university in your area it is very likely that animals are
under attack in those labs. We can help you find out what is being done
to them and who is doing it. Request this service early; demand is
likely to be high.
2. Promoting your events on our WWAIL website. Last
year, in the build up to WWAIL, our site received nearly one million
hits a month. The public, the media, other activists, and the
vivisection community can learn that efforts are growing and our resolve
is strengthening.
3. Helping to place ads in campus and community
newspapers. IDA will match up to $250 for placement of ads the week
before your events. We can provide ready-made ads of any size. Place
your organization's name next to ours and show that we stand together,
unified and resolute.
4. Assisting you with news releases. IDA has worldwide
faxing capability and literally thousands of media contacts in our
database. Request this service early to assure you are served on time.
Big business and big $cience have consumed compassion.
Fight back.
