DESCRIPTION:DAY OF THE DOG ... \n\nPlease come join us in a rally to spare about 800 
 dogs and puppies from some very cruel and unnecessary experiments 
 (described below) at UCSF. So invite your friends - and take a stand for 
 the dogs!  Dogs, of course, are welcome too. \n\nWHEN/WHERE: Dec.1st, 
 12noon, UCSF, 513 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco - rain or shine \n\nSome sad 
 but true details: \n\nPerverse Use of Puppies - Project # A1644-00961-17A: 
 German shepherd puppies as early as a day old (20 - 40 in number) are given 
 drugs to cause their hearts to malfunction. All pups are "sacrificed" and 
 their hearts removed for further study. \n\nGruesome, Scientifically 
 Pathetic - Project # A43109-22783-02A: This project will use up to 550 dogs 
 over a period of 3 years. Most of the dogs will be surgically implanted 
 with pacemakers. After the dogs recover from surgery, the pacemakers will 
 be programmed to pace rapidly, causing congestive heart failure. Other dogs 
 will have a portion of their mitral valves torn in order to cause the blood 
 to flow backwards, also causing congestive heart failure. The dogs will 
 either die from the ordeal in less than 6 months or be euthanized and have 
 their hearts removed for further study. \n\nAnother Heartless Experiment - 
 Project # A43109-22715-02: This project will use up to 200 dogs over a 
 period of 3 years. The Principal Investigator is the same as the one for 
 the above, and the protocol is similar, but with a difference in the length 
 of time the dogs will be kept alive (at most 42 days).
