After our recent demonstration in New Haven to let residents know that Yale is spending millions of taxpayer dollars torturing monkeys, the university wasn't exactly ready to throw open its doors and give guided tours to people who wanted to find out more. Well, Yale's secretive vivisectors may have been a bit surprised on their drive to work when they saw our massive new billboard near their facilities calling on anyone who witnesses cruelty in the university's labs to blow the whistle:
Whistleblowers have been instrumental in revealing neglect, carelessness, and cruelty in laboratories across the nation. This has led to countless victories for animals—so we're always eager to hear from people with the inside scoop.
Even if you don't work in a laboratory, you can blow the whistle on animal abusers. Whistleblowers have revealed details of Ringling's abuse of animals, shed light on beatings of animals on movie sets, and given us behind-the-scenes information on the horse-racing industry. Wherever you see animals abused—whether at a race track, pet shop, circus, carnival, or in your own neighborhood—speak up and let us know about it!

Yale is supposed to be a progressive and enlightened school. It's still in the dark ages if it perpetrates atrocities against animals.

Perhaps seeing that billboard will encourage empathetic lab assistants to call the number displayed on the board.

This is really important: not only encourage and stand behind people but give them a way (phone, email) to do something about animals abused for absurd reasons in private. This is really the key to blowing the whole thing wide open perhaps...

Millions of taxpayer dollars, pouring out of the National Institute of Health for useless, cruel and redundant experiments on animals.
That should go over well in this economay.
Yale University, come out of the dark ages for God Sakes. You are supposed to be a leader not an oppressor. Shut down those labs and rally Washington for stem cell research.
