Oh for God’s sake! I JUST found out today that the UF is vivisecting live animals right here in FLORIDA! As a Florida resident, born & raised here 39 years ago, I am embarassed & disgusted & angry that this is happening in my state & I am calling out for help to put an end to this disgusting animal torture! All you need to do is PLEASE send the following email to the following addresses. Simply copy & paste. Feel free to write your own email. The web page link if under the email for reference.

And for those who don’t know what vivisection is, here’s a website about it: http://www.animalexperimentspictures.com/ This is WHY it needs to STOP.

Thank You!

Dear Ms. Sikes:

I JUST learned today that the UF allows torturous experiments on animals! This is barberic & unacceptable.

In 2011, there are OTHER teaching methods being used in classrooms all over the US, which are effective & do not require the use of animals! With all the alternatives out there, WHY are you still allowing animals to be used? It’s UNNECESSARY! What is wrong with the decision makers at your school?!?!?!?! It makes me disgusted & sick that defenseless animals are tortured there & I demand that it stops. Now.

In case you haven’t heard, animals FEEL pain & bleed, just like we do! As an animal lover, owner & animal right’s activist, I have no problem contacting the national news programs & gathering 15,000 other animal lovers to peacefully protest!

Once something gains national attention…. it’s “game over”. Do you have ANY idea how many animal owners & activists are out there in the US with kids who have been looking at the UF as a possibility? Do you have any idea how many future applicants & students you are going to lose if this gets out to the nation???? Hmmmmm, it’s a shame to lose out on all that   tuition…. could end up costing your school MILLIONS of dollars!

The great thing is, you can fix this. You have a choice. You can choose to not let this become national news & all of us can stay home & fight other issues or you can ignore my request to stop the animal torture! It’s really that simple!

Follow the other schools. Please. You will save the lives of so many innocent animals, you will avoid a HUGE protest & national condemnation!

Negative publicity, especially “animal torture” never has a happy ending for the organization once the nation finds out about it!

Just remember ROME…….. when you start thinking that your school is too huge & too strong to publicly fall.

Thank You!

For reference, here’s the page where I found out about the UF doing all of this.
