1. Email to Dario Ringach: (UCLA Primate Vivisector) I believe you are chopping up primates again… maybe for $1.3 million?
2. Support Mel Broughton
Mel
Broughton has been fighting for animal rights for over 30 years. He’s
worked in animal sanctuaries and campaigned against zoos, circuses, factory

many shelters—and their national agency allies—cling to their
failed models of the past, models that result in the killing of millions
of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters every year....

to answer questions posed to him by a federal grand jury in Davenport, Iowa.
They were interested in questioning him about his knowledge of an unsolved
Animal Liberation Front action in 2004 at the University of Iowa. Scott
is a University of Minnesota graduate student and Dakota language student.
Scott took a principled stand against the grand jury and paid for it with
a contempt charge and, two days later, a charge of conspiracy to commit
“animal enterprise terrorism.....
