Announcing the Let Live Series, a monthly series of speakers, workshops, and social events. These events are dedicated to promoting and improving animal rights activism and community in the Portland area throughout the year, culminating in the annual Let Live Conference.

Let Live Series, Part 1: Monkey Business. October 26th, 2 pm, PSU Campus in the Smith Memorial Union, room SMU228

The first event is "Monkey Business: The Truth About Animal Testing and the ONPRC." If you have ever had trouble discussing the difficult topic of vivisection and animal testing, or need to brush up on your knowledge, this event is for you. Elaine Close (Coatlition to Abolish Animal Testing) and Matt Rossell (In Defense of Animals) will be discussing the bad science, bad treatment, and useless studies that surround the bulk of animal testing, focusing on the ONPRC (Oregon National Primate Research Center.) We will talk about what goes on at the primate lab, what you can do about it, and ways you can more effectively discuss this topic with others.

This event is free and open to the public. It is being sponsored by Vegans for Animal Advocacy as well as Food Fight! and Herbivore.
