Liberation Week and World Laboratory Animal Liberation Week to educate
the public about the abuse of animals in laboratories.

conditions within the laboratories of Michigan State University,
University of Toledo, University of Pennsylvania, and other well-known
laboratories. Substantial government fines were levied against several
labs and one experiment ended after our campaign.

abuses within primate labs at Harvard and University of Wisconsin
(Madison).

Procter & Gamble Corporation, meeting with company officials, supporting

experiments exceeding $650 million while over 100,000 primates are
imprisoned in labs and breeding facilities.

sale of former pets to labs in Nashville, (TN).

Center system which annually wastes over $1.1 billion while imprisoning
over 25,000 chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, squirrel monkeys, lemurs,
cotton-top tamarins, and primates of many other species.
- SAEN has exposed multiple instances of nationally
known labs (i.e. Harvard, Oregon Health Sciences University, University
of Washington, Tulane, and Yale) lying to the USDA.

national report on animal experimentation by the USDA and provided
evidence of the fraud to the chairs of the House & Senate Agriculture
Committees.
