Anybody reading this, tonight there will be a "funeral" at UCONN health center, for the monkeys that were experimented on. It will be from 4-5 pm TONIGHT! Wear black and dress warm! Please park on the street as you drive up the hill.
For directions:
UCONN Health Center

This information was taken from a local group:

Right now, there are two rhesus monkeys being held at
UCONN's Farmington campus Health Center for use by the
Neuroscience Department. Each individual has had a
large hole drilled into the top of his/her head and
has been fitted with a permanent data collection chamber
atop the wound. Furthermore, small stainless steel springs
have been implanted in their eyes. The researchers, Dr.
David Waitzman and graduate student Jason Cromer, then
restrains them in a straightjacket, intentionally inflicts
damage to the brain and measures neurological activity
related to eye movements. At the end of the study, the
monkeys are killed and their brains removed. Recently,
one 7-year old monkey named Cornelius died tragically
during the experiment from a grand mal seizure and heart
attack.

Dr. Waitzman's protocol expires on March 31, 2006 at which
time we are requesting that the two remaining rhesus monkeys
be rehabilitated and relocated to an accredited sanctuary.
Furthermore, we are requesting that a permanent moratorium
be placed on the use of nonhuman primates in all research at
University-affiliated facilities.
