In honor of World Week for Animals in Laboratories, folks decided that the labs hidden behind fancy names and large buildings in the city needed a more visibility.
One building, Mellon Institute in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh, contains multiple animal testing facilities inside.
Large tagging stickers with ‘Animal Research Torture Happens Here’ and ‘Animal Research Torture Facility’ written on them with the word ‘Research’ scratched out were placed on the sign on the front of the building and on posts around the building.
On the rear side of the building, ‘Animals Die Here’ was painted on the side that faces the street.
There are several other animal torture facilities in the area. This is but one that hides behind the facade of being a welcoming historical landmark or university building. Behind the walls, animals suffer and die each day.
