Quotes Ashley Smith; discusses the idea of widening the definition of the Animal Welfare Act

Response by Ashley (President, BFA) on 01/26/10 to the Editor:
"Dear Editor,

I am writing in response to the January 5th, 2010 article, "Animal Rights Activists Should Seek Widened Legislation."

I was presented as stating that Bruins for Animals is not looking for drastic changes in animal experimentation, which is completely untrue.

Bruins for Animals is dedicated to the end of animal experimentation in all of its forms. We strongly believe that any kind of experimenting on animals is a divergence from both fundamental, logical, and scientific reasoning and respect for the sanctity of life.

Widening the definition of the Animal Welfare Act to include all animals and not just certain species defined as animals is simply the beginning of a progression of changes that will ultimately lead to the end of using animals in experimentation. This is a start, not merely an end to what we anticipate.

By surfacing this extremely significant issue at UCLA, Bruins for Animals anticipates to enlighten students simultaneously about the cruel, inhumane nature and scientific invalidity of animal experimentation.

Any UCLA students, staff, or faculty who are further interested in this issue are encouraged to attend Bruins for Animals and Pro-Test for Science's Perspectives on the Science and Ethics of Animal Based Research on February 16th from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. For further details please visit bruinsforanimals.org.

Sincerely,
Ashley Smith
President
Bruins for Animals!"
