From In Defense Of Animals
We just found out the first subcommittee dealing with the humane treatment
of animals in OHSU's labs will be held next Monday, October 18th, starting
at 9 am. This is a sub-committee of the legislative Oregon Opportunity/Ethics
Task Force, formed specifically to handle community concerns about abuse of
animals in OHSU's labs. I was told by OHSU Government Relations staff that
the community will have two hours to have our voices heard and we need to
pack that meeting and let this committee know that we have not forgotten
about the monkeys and other animals languishing in OHSU labs.
What: OHSU Ethics Subcommittee Meeting about humane care of OHSU animals
When: Monday, October 18th, from 9-11am
Where: OHSU Main Marquam Hill Campus (room and building to be announced)
Please RSVP to matt@idausa.org or 502-249-9996 x2 if you can attend so we can coordinate our testimony.
Even if you are not comfortable speaking publicly, we could really use as
many community members as possible at this meeting to show our concern! Sometimes actions speak louder than words!!!
