“Treating other sensitive, intelligent beings like disposable laboratory equipment is wrong, and—although I was a business and music major at CU-Boulder—I know that there must be better ways to teach undergraduates than by having them needlessly torment, maim, and kill hundreds of animals.”
—Brandon Barnes, drummer for Rise Against, in a letter to officials at the University of Colorado at Boulder on their current policies on animal testing and experimentation. In the letter, Barnes invites the university to explore more humane methods of research, and mentions that his alma mater’s Denver location already has a policy in place to not test on live animals.
