SADL: World Week for Animals In Laboratories

From 16-23 April, the Seattle Animal Defense League will be locally participating in the World Week for Animals in Laboratories (WWAIL); see below for their own  description and a preliminary outline of the event series.

“Each year from April 16th to 23rd, animal advocates and activists across the world come together to call for an alternative to the antiquated and unnecessary usage of animals in biomedical experimentation. Billions of tax dollars are wasted and millions of innocent lives are lost under the fraudulent guise of science. We at the Seattle Animal Defense League will be banding together with other activists worldwide to protest these atrocities for WWAIL. We ask you to join us at the events listed below:

Friday, 15 April (7:00pm at Wayward Vegan Cafe, (5253 University Way NE)): “Chattel” Documentary Screening (view an excerpt here).

Saturday, 16 April (12:00 – 2:00pm, corner of 15th Ave. and 45th St.): Kick-off demonstration at UW campus, with a Potluck/Prisoner support letter writing party, location TBA, at 7:00pm.

Sunday, 17 April (7:30pm, Wayward Vegan Cafe (5253 University Way NE)): SADL General Meeting/Vivisection 101 Workshop.

Monday, 18 April (4:00 – 6:00pm): Leafletting at the UW Medical Center.

Tuesday, 19 April (4:00 – 6:00pm): Demonstration and Leafletting at the South Lake Union Facility.

Thursday, 21 April (8:00pm): A candlelight vigil will be held at the corner of Montlake Boulevard and NE Pacific in mourning of all the unnecessary lives lost to the falsehood of vivisection.

Friday, 22 April (Meeting time TBA): We will be meeting at the Burke Museum on the UW Seattle Campus and marching to Montlake & NE Pacific with an ending demonstration in front of the medical center on NE Pacific.
