Berkeley, Calif. – Please see PETA Vice President Shalin Gala’s assertion concerning what the College of California staff’ strike means for animals in laboratories on the system’s campuses:
PETA calls for to know who’s caring for the tens of 1000’s of animals locked inside laboratories on College of California campuses through the present strike. The COVID-19 mass killing sprees of animals deemed nonessential or noncritical to experiments in campus laboratories ought to have prompted the college system to query why any animals are being purchased, bred, trapped, or experimented on within the first place in the event that they’re thought-about so disposable due to delayed or terminated experiments. The pandemic and the labor strike needs to be loud wake-up calls to shift away from merciless and wasteful experiments on animals and towards a “new regular” of simpler, economical, and moral animal-free analysis, as detailed in PETA’s Analysis Modernization Deal.
