The University Of Washington tortures, maims, and kills animals. They waste vast amounts of taxpayer money. These cruel and wasteful experiments do nothing to advance human health. Tell the UW that caring people will not stand for their atrocities.
The University of Washington tortures and kills animals, conducts fraudulent science,
and wastes taxpayer money.


Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is:  'Because the animals are like us.'  Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: 'Because the animals are not like us.'  Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.  ~Charles R. Magel

Memorial for the Animals

National Memorial Day for Animals in Laboratories

When: Sunday, May 30th @ 1:00PM-3:00PM

Where: UW Medicine South Lake Union Biomedical Campus
(Mercer and 9th Ave N) View a Map

Description: This Memorial Day Weekend, we remember and honor the animals that suffer and die in research laboratories. A vigil will be staged in front of the University of Washington's South Lake Union biomedical research campus, the site of numerous experiments conducted on animals, including pigs and dogs. UW Medicine has received numerous citations in violation of animal welfare standards, and animals routinely die under their care. Despite their track record, they have received funding from the National Institute of Health to expand their South Lake Union facilities, so this vigil is also to protest the increase of the future torture and killing there.

As this is a vigil and memorial, please dress in black to maximize the solemness of this event. Signs and fliers will be provided.

Questions on this event can be directed to info@narn.org or call 206-250-7301


Please attend the demo! The animals need you.


Important Protest:

Demo Against Cruel Research

When: Saturday, June 13th @ 11:00AM

Where: Near Magnuson Health Science Center (corner of NE Pacific St & Montlake Blvd, across the street from Husky Stadium)

Description: We will be taking advantage of the large numbers of people that come to attend the UW Graduation on June 13th, by having a demo right before the ceremony starts. We want to bring attention to the kinds of torture going on at the University of Washington in the name of science.

The Primate Center at the UW, isn't working on cures for cancer or any other disease, they stick metal coils into the eyes of monkeys, then strap them into chairs to watch their eye movement. Groundbreaking stuff, right? And it's been going on for 30 years, so they must really be learning something, huh? We are going to let the public know just what their money is paying for at the UW's Primate Center and at the other UW animal labs.

We will have signs, but please feel free to make your own.

Tell the UW - No Mutilated Pigs,
Prohibit Susan Stern

Ask the University of Washington (UW) to prohibit new hire Susan Stern from conducting experiments on animals, including brain injury and massive bleeding experiments on live pigs using a $1.2 million grant from the Department of Defense.

Before accepting a position at UW, Stern worked at the University of Michigan (U-M), where she chaired the animal experimentation oversight committee from 2006 to 2008. On Stern's watch, animals in the university's laboratories died of starvation and dehydration. When a fire broke out in a lab, trapped animals died of smoke inhalation or drowned as their cages filled with water from the sprinkler system, and others were so severely injured that they had to be euthanized. UW is already under fire for violations in its laboratories. Acting on evidence provided by PETA in 2007, federal investigators found that UW experimenters performed dozens of surgeries on monkeys without approval from the university's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Given UW's own record, Susan Stern's proven record of disregard for animal welfare guidelines is the last thing that UW and animals need.

Take Action:

Please contact University of Washington President Mark Emmert and urge him to prohibit Susan Stern from conducting experiments on animals in UW's laboratories. Check out PETA's Action Alert to see a sample letter.



Thank You For Caring About The Animals!



KOMO TV Exposes Some Of UW's Crimes
On Tuesday, 26 February, KOMO TV ran an expose' of unauthorized and extremely painful sugeries performed on monkies at UW, and the resulting investigation which may lead to defunding and penalties.

You can watch the video and read related documents at KOMO's website.

Do you work with animals at the UW?
We need to hear from you!

One person with courage, compassion, and conviction can make a huge difference! If you are a student or caretaker who is currently working with, or previously has worked with animals at the University of Washington, NARN needs to hear from you! Please contact us, and be the hero the thousands of animals at the UW need.

The University of Washington, along with the affiliated Washington Regional Primate Research Center (WaRPRC), breeds, confines and experiments on tens of thousands of animals every year, with little, if any accountability to students and the public.

Federal taxpayer funding for animal testing at UW exceeded a quarter billion dollars last year. Concerned students and citizens are starting to ask the tough questions, like where are the results? How do animals serve as good models for human health? And why is it morally justifiable to experiment on animals at all?

Please... get educated, get active, and help stop these cruel and wasteful practices at the University of Washington.

Maternal Deprivation - A Long and Brutal History

The University of Washington's researchers continue to carry on one of the most brutal, most insensitive types of animal experiments -- depriving infant monkeys of maternal contact.

Dr. Wayne Johnson, a psychotherapist formerly on staff at UW and president of the Seattle-based Northwest Animal Rights Network, takes a hard look at the realities of maternal deprivation experiements.
