IDA co-sponsored a protest at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to turn a bright spotlight on the University's determination to conduct cruel and painful heart experiments on hundreds of dogs. Several advocates brought their dogs to remind people that the animals used in experiments are living beings with feelings and personalities. This event was similar to the Dog March that we held in April, which successfully drew public and media attention to the plight of UCSF's animal victims.

Before UCSF's students and staff leave for summer break, we held a follow-up dog protest. This time it was at the MAIN CAMPUS of UCSF (a different location), on May 25, Wednesday, at 10 A.M. The address is 513 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco. A number of activists took the morning off to go with their canine companions.

Dr. Katz of In Defense of Animals was there again and we received more media attention for the plight of animals at UCSF.
