No New Animal Lab
September 2015

ACTION

No New Animal Lab is a new pressure campaign to stop the University of Washington from building a proposed underground Animal Research and Care Facility, which would expand the number of animals that the UW can torture and kill by thousands. The No New Animal Lab campaign’s primary target is Skanska, a multi-billion dollar international construction firm and the general contractor of the project.

You can take action right now by calling and emailing Skanksa USA to tell them to pull their contracts with UW. Below is a template letter, as well as email addresses and phone numbers. Feel encouraged to personalize your message. Let Skanska know that you and many more say NO NEW ANIMAL LAB!

TALKING POINTS for you to personalize!

Dear [Skanska contact],

I am writing to express my concern and opposition to your involvement with the animal research industry. According to reports from the University of Washington, Skanska USA is scheduled to begin construction this April on the UW’s new Animal Research and Care Facility at 1450 NE Boat Street, Seattle.

The University of Washington’s history of using animals in research includes being fined by the USDA for allowing a primate to starve to death, citations for performing unauthorized experiments on primates, and evidence of primates engaging in self-mutilation. The UW uses and kills thousands of animals—primates, dogs, mice, pigs, rabbits, cats, and others—each year, even though animal labs throughout the world have been shutting down due to public pressure, citations for the abuse and neglect of animals, activists’ exposure of the horrific conditions of labs, and a realization that the future of science is in innovative methods that produce more accurate results than using animals.

If Skanska USA builds this new facility for the University of Washington, you will be entangling your company with the UW’s proven, and very public, record of animal cruelty. I implore you to break your contract with UW. Do not follow through with construction of the facility. Do not involve yourself with the animal research industry any further.

A company that claims to be committed to the environment should not dirty its hands with the blood and waste of vivisection.

Sincerely,
Your name and contact information

Thank you for everything you do for animals!
