Not in Our Name: UW Graduates Opposed to
Maternal Deprivation Studies
After a two-decade hiatus, the University of Wisconsin, Madison has approved the use of maternal deprivation and fear to create highly anxious baby monkeys. The differences between the dissected brains of these traumatized infants and the brains of baby monkeys not taken from their mothers at birth will be studied.
Are you a University of Wisconsin graduate opposed to the university's archaic maternal deprivation experiments on nonhuman primates?
You are not alone!

Alliance for Animals is compiling a Vegan Cookbook that will be available to members and those interested in
