DESCRIPTION:Please 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.3rd, 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).

 also write or email UCSF's Chancellor and the Chair of the IACUC to ask 
 them to stop the experiments:\n\nChancellor J. Michael Bishop\n513
