Two More UCLA Vans Expropriated by Liberationists

Animal Liberation Press Office | 11.08.2008 23:34 | Animal Liberation | Health | World

Date: August 11, 2008
Communiqué from unknown liberationists
Institution targeted: UCLA Primate Vivisection

Received anonymously

on the nights of july 23 and 27, we stole two more UCLA vans from Riverside and Chino Hills and have expropriated the funds for the vans to help animals. So far we've cost UCLA over 150 thousand dollars in vans which is just a start to penalize them for the use of our tax money for gruesome primate experiments.

those of us who attend UCLA or work here pay into their billion dollar bank account using our tuition fees, book fees, even eating rotten campus food. we realize that part of that money goes into making monkeys suffer by putting cylinders inside their brain tissue and getting monkeys strung out on meth and other drugs. we are indirectly participating in this crime against nature and morality. we are all Gods creations and so are the monkeys who we have witnessed and heard screaming out from the hell they endure day after day after day after day.

We're not stupid and we know what goes on at our own university and we're sick of it and if we cant leave our studies or our jobs right now the least we can do is cost UCLA money and force them to stop these awful experiments on monkeys being done on our campus and the VA across the 405.

our suggestions to those who are on campus or anyone else who care about monkeys being tormented and killed by the callous fucks like edythe london, jouquin fuster, william melega, nelson freimer, lynn fairbanks and other sadists who enjoy tormenting and killing monkeys is to confront them covertly or overtly where ever and whenever you can. hey, how about following them to their cars in their parking structures? there are a lot of ways to cost the bastards money and make torturing nonhuman animals less rewarding.

Two More UCLA Vans Expropriated by Liberationists as Non-Human Primate Killing Continues - Campus Unwillingly Funds Liberation Activities

Riverside, Chino Hills: In an anonymous communiqué received by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, it's reported that two UCLA vans were stolen from the Riverside and Chino Hills area and that they “have expropriated the funds for the vans to help animals.” The action appears to be part of a sustained campaign to force the university to stop torturing and killing non-human primates in their laboratories, where they kill them after injecting them with nicotine, methamphetamines, Botox or other substances. This most recent communiqué comes just weeks after another UCLA van was taken in a similar fashion and another one was set ablaze.

A long-running campaign to stop the medically inappropriate and morally reprehensible research using non-human primates at UCLA has seen peaceful and mainstream efforts such as leafleting, petitions, pickets and meeting with UCLA administration fail, as more primates linger and die inside laboratories at large expense to the taxpayer every year. Clandestine, illegal direct actions against primate vivisectors and now a third and fourth UCLA van being attacked is a good indication that UCLA's strategy of trying to get restraining orders against peaceful picketers isn't working in diverting attention away from the atrocities going on behind closed doors at UCLA.

Animal Liberation Press Office comments and quotes include:

"As a former animal researcher, I know the realities of animal laboratories, the horrors that will never be shown on tours or routine inspections. I also know the fallacy of expecting animal research to yield results useful in treating human medical conditions, the fallacy of research data thrown away in the garbage along with the thousands of lifeless and mutilated bodies of once sentient, feeling individuals, individuals who had an expectation to live free from suffering and death." -Jerry W. Vlasak, MD

"What vivisectors are doing to non human primates at UCLA is not only immoral and depraved, but scientifically fraudulent. In the 21st century, most Americans do not believe that non human primates should be subjected to cruel experiments." -Camille Hankins
Press Officer

"Currently, nine out of ten experimental drugs fail in clinical studies because no one cannot accurately predict how they will behave in people
based on laboratory and animal studies" -Mike Leavitt
