Press Coverage of Wednesday's Protest

On Wednesday, January 25th, the UConn Animal Rights Collective and roughly a dozen members of several other CT area animal rights groups protested the university's 125th anniversary celebration event at which president Philip Austin was speaking.

Historically, UConn is an agriculture school and has been built on the backs of and with the blood of untold numbers exploited, tortured animals. Even today, in addition to the primates we are trying to rescue, there are thousands of innocent animals whose rights are being violated in labs and barns at UConn. This is nothing to celebrate and we took this opportunity to make this clear to the administration and it's supporters.

I was curious, when you mentioned non-invasive imaging techniques in your article for the uconn free press, that had enough resolution to record single cells, what technique were you referring to?

additionally, you mentioned computerized alternatives to the experiments being done at uconn...could u name any of them?
