Stop Torture of Cats in Laboratory Experiments

End experimental torture and murder of cats at the University of Wisconsin–Madison

At the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison), domestic cats are put through hellish and painful medical procedures in the name of “science.”  Not only could these experiments be carried out safely on human volunteers, but they are making no valuable contribution to human health. These experiments are part of a project funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) to understand how the brain determines locations of sounds. Each year, UW–Madison scientists experiment on, and kill, 30 cats in order to continue receiving funding from the NIH, even though the experiments serve little scientific or medical purpose.
