DESCRIPTION: PROTEST TO STOP YORK UNIVERSITY’S PRIMATE RESEARCH\n TTC York 
	University subway station entrances at 120 Ian McDonald Blvd.\, Toronto\n 
	Monday\, October 26th | 3 PM – 5 PM\nSigns\, banners\, leaflets\, and tabl
	ets to play investigation footage will be provided. We’ll be handing out S
	ave the York 9 t-shirts and tote bags to students to wear around campus. P
	lease keep outreach friendly and respectful. If possible\, avoid clothing 
	with unrelated logos or messaging so our campaign visuals remain clear and
	 unified. Please follow organizers’ plans for the day. Questions\, ideas\,
	 and feedback are always welcome\, and we can discuss them together at the
	 end of the event.\n Invite your friends and share this event. The bigger 
	our turnout\, the harder this issue is to ignore.\n WHY WE'RE THERE\nNine 
	rhesus macaques are currently being used in experiments at York University
	. Some have reportedly spent more than 17 years inside the laboratory.\nAn
	 undercover investigation by Last Chance for Animals (LCA) documented dist
	urbing conditions and procedures\, including water restriction\, permanent
	 restraint collars\, permanent head posts and chamber implants in their sk
	ulls for brain access\, repeated invasive surgeries\, prolonged social iso
	lation and stereotypic behaviours associated with psychological distress. 
	According to the investigation\, some macaques were observed drinking thei
	r own urine amid water restriction\, while one\, Liesl\, has suffered sign
	ificant vision loss. Seven of the nine were reportedly housed alone.\nWe w
	ant the York 9 released so they can finally retire from research.\nBut thi
	s campaign is about more than nine macaques.\n OLD SCIENCE → NEW SCIENCE\n
	We are also calling for a transition away from animal experimentation and 
	toward modern\, human-relevant New Approach Methodologies (NAMs).\nInstead
	 of continuing invasive experiments on primates\, we want to see Canada in
	vest in innovative non-animal science and educate the next generation of r
	esearchers in methods that don't depend on harming animals.\n LEARN MORE •
