Take action - New UC Berkeley animal research facility

by take action
Call to action against the companies assisting in construction of the UC Berkeley's new Biomedical Facility, which would lead to a seventy percent expansion of UCB's existing Northwest Animal Facility. 40,000 non-human animals are currently being exploited at the university.
Take action against UC-Berkeley's animal torture expansion!

Construction of the the Li Ka-Shing Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences at University Avenue and Oxford Way in Berkeley has begun (project construction started in April 2008) and is scheduled for completion by March 2010. This facility will include a basement-level vivisection lab that would expand UC Berkeley's existing Northwest Animal Facility by seventy percent.

The McCarthy Building Company, Northern Pacific Division, based in San Francisco (http://www.mccarthy.com) is the general contractor.

Project Management for the construction: UC Berkeley Capital Projects (http://www.cp.berkeley.edu)

Please call, fax, and email these individuals and let them know what you think of their decision to assist in the torture of thousands of sentient beings.
