DESCRIPTION:Millions of animals, outnumbering the human population of San Francisco, 
 are tortured in the laboratories at UCSF. IDA and DxE are joining forces 
 once again to stop this horrific violence.\n\nThe theme for this month's 
 protest is SOLIDARITY and CHANGE. We are asking everyone to wear red in 
 solidarity with the animals, and because red is the color of change. 
 \n\nThis will be just the first step in an escalating series of 
 demonstrations. We'll take even bolder steps in the months to come; each 
 protest will have its own theme. \n\nEven third-party observers have noted 
 the horrific abuse of animals at UCSF. From the San Francisco 
 Chronicle:\n\n"Due to negligence or errors, laboratory mice at UCSF had 
 toes removed without anesthesia. Several animals, including birds and a 
 squirrel monkey, received little or no pain medication after surgical 
 procedures. In one instance, a primate starved for weeks. In another, mice 
 died of thirst. And for nearly two years, a rhesus monkey remained in a 
 brain study despite chronic and painful complications."\n\nAnd from UCSF's 
 own reports to the USDA:\n\n-"Due to the inability to predict death in 
 individual animals, all animals are at risk for unrelieved distress and 
 death." \n\n-"The most successful... way to attain this level of motivation 
 is through fluid and food restriction."\n\n- Hundreds of animals vivisected 
 in experiments "involving pain or distress" without the use of any 
 painkillers. \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/05/17/18736993.php
