Norfolk: Protest EVMS’ Decades’ Long Torture of Mother Baboons!

Please join local PETA supporters for a peaceful protest in front of the Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) over its cruel and pointless experiments on mother baboons and their babies.

EVMS experimenter Gerald Pepe has spent more than 40 years impregnating sensitive, social olive baboons, injecting them repeatedly with hormones and then cutting out and killing the fetuses—subjecting each mother baboon to up to six cesarean sections. In some instances, the mothers were permitted to deliver their infants at full term, only to have the experimenters permanently separate the babies from their mothers—contributing to the agony endured by the mother and her newborn. These experiments have not produced a cure or treatment for pregnant women or their infants.
