In February, a group of committed animal rights advocates gathered in Vancouver to launch a new and important effort to expose the University of British Columbia’s experiments on animals. Our campaign, “Stop UBC Animal Research,” will play a critical role in educating the public about what really happens behind the imposing walls of UBC’s research laboratories and facilities.

Most students and area residents are unaware that UBC is one of the largest bio-medical campuses in the country. The university annually distributes some 100,000 animals, both large and small, to dozens of UBC affiliated-research projects. UBC researchers in Vancouver and in other related facilities around Canada have been routinely experimenting on animals, including pigs, rats, rabbits, mice, cats, and non-human primates.

Thousands of animals endure a grim existence at UBC. You can help them by joining our campaign to stop experimentation on animals at the university. Please attend our upcoming meeting.

THE JULY 29 MEETING WILL BE OUR MOST IMPORTANT TO DATE. We'll report on our findings about research on animals at UBC. In addition, we'll have a brief presentation on alternatives to research on animals. We'll also discuss the formal unveiling of our campaign in late August. And we'll conduct a brainstorming session about what actions we'll be taking to alert the public about UBC's experiments on animals.

Please RSVP so we know how much food and beverages to bring. stopUBCanimalresearch@gmail.com <stopUBCanimalresearch@gmail.com>
