March For Animals DMV
Advertisement
Calling all animal lovers, protectors, advocates, activists, and heroes! 🐾
Join fellow animal advocates for a peaceful march* calling for compassion, transparency, and ethics in science!
Dogs, cats, monkeys, pigs, rabbits, and countless other animals are suffering in laboratories right now, even as more reliable, human-relevant research methods are now available. These animals are desperate for life-saving change that is now long overdue.
And we can make this change happen! Following the historic Ridglan Farms rescues and the 207-mile March to Abolish Animal Testing, advocates are mobilizing once again—this time through a coordinated nationwide campaign with the unprecedented potential to influence major policy decisions and change countless lives.
On December 3, marches across the country will call upon hand-selected research institutions to implement less cruelty in policies and procedures.
Our local march will take place at Johns Hopkins University, selected because of its reported purchases from Marshall BioResources, an animal breeder and supplier facing serious allegations of cruelty, as well as the institution’s recent animal welfare citations.
We believe that cruelty citations and the support of suppliers with a reputation for cruelty are unacceptable, and the animals confined within these laboratories are counting on people like us to stand up for them.
The associated nationwide effort presents a historic opportunity to demonstrate that animal suffering can no longer be ignored. The impact of hundreds of compassionate people showing up together makes a powerful statement: that science must evolve. We have the technology to do it, but we need to change the system. This will only happen in a reasonable time frame with public influence.
Every person who joins strengthens our message: We demand cruelty-free, ethical, human-relevant science. Every sign, conversation, photograph, and shared video helps bring these hidden lives into public view.
And beyond the impact we can make for animals, this will be a wonderful opportunity to connect with an extraordinary community of compassionate people who share our values. Expect to make new friends, reconnect with old ones, and spend a meaningful day surrounded by kindness and purpose.
