Please join us in letting the public know that animal testing is the misuse of science! It's 2022 and people are *still* fooled into thinking testing on animals is the best way to help humans. Many people think animal testing doesn't happen anymore.

Companies that profit off of the pain and torture of innocent animals are evil. These animals are truly the most silent victims. We are bringing awareness to the community - we are bringing the truth of what they do into the light.

Right here, in Ulster Country, is one of the world's largest breeder of animals for use in animal experimentation - Charles River Laboratories (CRL). Half of all animals used in lab experiments are supplied by CRL.

They also conduct painful tests on animals for companies that produce industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. In these tests, the animals are force-fed test compounds, have experimental chemicals smeared onto their shaved skin, and are forced to inhale toxic substances. The animals may endure severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, convulsions, seizures, paralysis, and bleeding from the nose, mouth, and genitals before they ultimately die or are killed.

CRL is the second-largest importer of nonhuman primates into the U.S., bringing in thousands of monkeys who have been stolen from their homes in the wild or bred on decrepit monkey factory farms.

Our goal is to plant seeds, raise awareness and request that they change their model to non-animal testing methods.

Please bring your own mask in case you feel more comfortable wearing it. We can also physically distance ourselves. We will have extra masks on hand, along with gloves and hand sanitizer.

The location we posted is the address for Bed Bath & Beyond, however, we will be standing along Ulster Ave. at the intersection (across the street from Verizon and the Kings Mall Shopping Center).

We have signs - all you need to bring is yourself!

Join us for our 2nd educational outreach street action. It is critical that we inform the public about the link between zoonotic diseases and pandemics.

We are bringing to light the SCIENCE behind emerging viruses and what we can do to reduce the chances of another pandemic. We believe it is necessary to guide people in making the connection between the foods we eat, how we treat the environment and how this increases the chance that more viruses will jump from non-human animals to human animals.

We feel, strongly, that any and all who participate in these street actions MUST be prepared to answer the question, "What is a zoonotic disease?"* We all need to have the same answer. We are "selling" science. Everything is so tragically different, now. We are no longer living in the world we lived in 6 months ago. All of humanity is so emotionally raw, tempers could flare. When we're out on the street, educating about how veganism can prevent pandemics, emotions MUST be pushed to the back burners. Focus on the educational information MUST be maintained at all times. Especially, when the "student" is looking for verbal combat.

Therefore, we ask that there be NO yelling, arguing or any aggressive behavior. If we are met with hostility, we ask that all efforts be made to deescalate the situation. If you feel uncomfortable or need help deescalating a situation, please find Tony and he will assist.

***We had a situation during our first street action where deescalation was not even a remote possibility. In cases like that, we ask that everyone PLEASE IGNORE the person and we will call the police right away if it seems the aggressor is not leaving right away.***

* Zoonotic diseases are illnesses that can spread between animals and people. And in most instances, our systems do not have immunity to the new disease.

After much consideration and out of an abundance of caution, we are going to suspend vigils until further notice, due to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak.

This will also give us time to figure out what to do about the safety issue regarding standing along Route 209, which seems to be a concern for some people in the community.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We hope to be able to continue our vigils soon.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

This is our very first Tri-State Charles River Laboratories Vigil with co-hosts A4 Animals Abolition Advocacy Action, New Haven Animal Save and Animal Rights New England

Locations: Willimantic, CT, Kingston, NY & Wilmington, MA

Please join us in a peaceful vigil and protest of CRL at all three locations. This coordinated event will send a direct message to the company letting them know there is a concerned public who demand immediate end of animal abuse, use and death.

We will hold peaceful protests/vigils with the focus on public awareness/education and sending a message to CRL asking them to change their business model.

Charles River Laboratories is the world’s largest breeder of animals for “research” experimentation. Half of all animals tortured and experimented on against their will are supplied by CRL. CRL is also the second largest importer of non-human primates into the US stolen from their homes in the wild or bred in disgusting facilities.

Business models/companies currently exist that don’t harm animals as does the technology #skinonachip #organonachip etc...

There is no reason for CRL to continue with their current business model especially with regard to current technologies. Unfortunately there is BIG $$$ in the breeding of animals for testing “research”.
Change the business model!

Animals are used in laboratories for 3 reasons. Supposed education, product testing, and experimental medical “research”. These 3 reasons bring absolutely no benefit to the animals themselves and largely fail when applied to human benefit. Information attained from torturing animals of differing species fails more often than not when applied to humans.

We will be hosting only ONE vigil for the month of February. There are a few other events going on that we will be attending (not ours but we like to support other people's events) and on Sunday, March 1 we will be co-hosting a tri-state vigil. There will be a Charles River Laboratories vigil in CT, MA and NY.

***We are asking everyone who attends our vigils to please be on alert and pay attention to what is going on around you. Please stand back from the road a little. What we do out there is peaceful and hurts no one yet it causes very angry reactions from some people. Our main concern when we are holding a vigil is that everyone is SAFE.***

We also suggest people post here if you would like to organize a carpool. Several neighbors have told us not to park in front of their houses (which we will respect since it is their property) but that leaves less parking spaces nearby.

Join us to hold vigil for all of the animals this evil company profits off of. They make money off of the pain and torture of innocent animals. These animals are truly the most silent victims. We are bringing awareness to the community - we are bringing the truth of what they do into the light.

What we do out there is peaceful and hurts no one yet it causes very angry reactions from some people. Our main concern when we are holding a vigil is that everyone is SAFE.***

Join us to hold vigil for all of the animals this evil company profits off of. They make money off of the pain and torture of innocent animals. These animals are truly the most silent victims. We are bringing awareness to the community - we are bringing the truth of what they do into the light.

Charles River Laboratories (CRL) is the world’s largest breeder of animals for use in experiments. Half of all animals used in lab experiments are supplied by CRL.

They also conduct painful tests on animals for companies that produce industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. In these tests, the animals are force-fed test compounds, have experimental chemicals smeared onto their shaved skin, and are forced to inhale toxic substances. The animals may endure severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, convulsions, seizures, paralysis, and bleeding from the nose, mouth, and genitals before they ultimately die or are killed.

CRL is the second-largest importer of nonhuman primates into the U.S., bringing in thousands of monkeys who have been stolen from their homes in the wild or bred on decrepit monkey factory farms.

Our goal is to raise awareness and request that they change their model to non-animal testing methods.

We have had two disturbing incidents at our vigils recently. The first was in November of 2018 when someone threw a dead rabbit at us as he drove by.

The second incident happened at our March 9th vigil. A pick up truck swerved towards the activists 3 times, as if he was going to hit someone. Luckily, no one was hurt but we are very concerned that another disturbed individual could cause someone harm.

***NOTE ABOUT PARKING: We put up tape where there is no parking (next to driveways so people can enter and exit easily). There IS parking along Route 209. We may ask you to move your car if we feel it is impeding the neighbors' view of the road as they exit their driveways.***
