Jun 18, 2015 — On June 10, 2015, three compassionate and very courageous young protesters stood up and disrupted a formal presentation given by Ned Kalin before an audience at the University of California-Davis describing his cruel baby monkey experimentation.

Members of the organization, UCDavis Primates Deserve Better forced a premature end to Kalin's guest lecture, refusing to be intimidated and confronted Kalin, repeatedly asking questions about the the morality of the use of baby monkeys in his fear and anxiety experiments at UW-Madison. The invited presentation was part of a lecture series organized by the UC Davis Mind Institute. I encourage you to view the YouTube video footage of the peaceful demonstration within the auditorium which was met with anger here



Lindsay, a spokesperson for the animal rights group UC-Davis stated, "We felt morally obligated to speak out about Ned Kalin's cruel experiments. These publicly-funded experiments are unnecessary and an affront to common decency."

Outrage continues over this experiment despite modifications in the study which is slated to begin this month. I thank the nearly 450,000 concerned individuals who have signed the change.org petition asking the university to cancel this experiment. Please contact Chancellor Blank via the main UW switchboard at 608-263-6400 to voice your opposition.


Best,
Dr. Decker

You have to love and admire the protesters. They shut the meeting down.
They are so right, "When is enough, enough, Stop maternal deprivation"
