Together, we march to end animal testing.

“I have spent my life haunted by two rhesus monkeys I saw in the Indiana University psych lab when I was five years old. They were in individual cages, little room to move around, unable to touch each other and so tormented that they had pulled out their fur, scratched open sores on their skin. I don't know what was done to them, but it had driven them mad. To this day, I remain amazed that no one but a five-year-old child seemed to see this evil for what it was.”

“Animal research seriously harms or kills hundreds of millions of animals annually, for very little human gain. It wastes enormous medical and scientific resources that should be used helping patients more directly, through clinically-focused research. For the sake of both people and animals, this cruel and inefficient research should be consigned to the dustbin of history.”

“How we treat animals is a reflection of our humanity and consciousness. Science and advancement in technology have proven there are more effective means, yet animals endure unimaginable pain, suffering and torture every year in the name of progress.”

“Every movement for justice begins with people willing to show up. If we want to end the suffering of dogs and cats in laboratories, we have to make it impossible to ignore.”

“I'm here to fight for anyone locked in a cage. That's why I'm standing with the March to Abolish Animal Testing.”

“We can end animal testing by pressuring companies, engaging with our elected officials, and relentlessly informing society of its inherent cruelty. I’ve documented animals in labs and breeding facilities, and my photos and videos prove they live horrendous lives. We can change that. The March to Abolish Animal Testing will make this issue visible, and We Animals and I are in full support. No animal deserves the fate of the lab.”

“Veganism is not only a diet but a lifelong mission to end animal cruelty and enslavement. We are proud to bring Capital Region vegans together in support of the march against animal testing.”

“Jesus ended the sacrifice of animals some 2,000 years ago. To sacrifice animals in the name of science is incompatible with Christian belief and principles. All Christians should oppose vivisection, because it echoes the brutality that was inflicted upon our Lord.”

“Confined and deprived, all day, all night, over and over. It’s all they will know, with no escape. They can’t even have a dream about anything else.”
