PASADO'S SAFE
HAVEN AND ANIMAL LAW ATTORNEY
PLAN PRIVATE LITIGATION
If
the alleged atrocities reported by former employees of SNBL USA,
including the scalding death of a female monkey, are not pursued by
the U.S.D.A. or state and local authorities, Pasado's Safe Haven, a
national animal welfare organization located in the State of
Washington (and situated in the same county where SNBL USA’s
employees are reported to allegedly torture animals), in conjunction
with animal lawyer Adam P. Karp, founder of the Washington State Bar
Association Animal Law Section and adjunct professor of animal law
at the University of Washington and Seattle University Schools of
Law, will initiate a private criminal action to bring justice to
this animal who suffered so horribly, as well as explore other
potential private criminal actions against SNBL USA and its
employees concerning other alleged mistreatment of lab animals.
For more details about the alleged reported abuses, see
KIRO TV.

Pasado's Speaks out
Monkey Boiled Alive at
Research Lab |
Just hearing this headline
is enough to make anyone shudder or even bring a couple of tears.
A KIRO 7 Investigative team (Seattle, WA) claims that a monkey that was to be used in
a drug-product research experiment was boiled alive in a Everett, WA
laboratory. Read more

It is never easy to
comprehend how someone could allow pain and suffering or even purposely
hurt helpless animals. Although this is very hard information to
hear and think about, we can never make sure that this never happens
again if we decide to protect our own hearts and turn a blind eye to it.
We urge you to watch Kiro
7 news tonight (Friday- Feb 1) at 6pm & 11pm (PST) or click
here to watch online. Pasado's Safe Haven founder, Susan
Michaels will be speaking out about this case. |

always right to do what is right." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Help us make sure that
this never happens again by joining us in speaking up for these animals
that cannot speak for themselves. If you are outraged,
saddened, and frustrated, let us help your voice be heard.
Here are some comments we have heard from you already -
I live in the United
Kingdom and am outraged to learn about the cruel and inhumane treatment
of research animals. I cannot bear to watch the news coverage of the
apparent boiling alive of a monkey. This is an atrocity. Did you hear in
the news this week that a CHIMP has proved he has better recall than the
British memory champion. An animal that has a memory must certainly be
able to feel. What excruciating and unnecessary pain animals are put
through in the name of research is disgusting. -Melissa A, United
Kingdom
It is extremely sad and disturbing to notice that such cats of
cruelty are largely being ignored by the USDA. As a taxpayer, I'd like
to better understand why the USDA has such a laissez-faire attitude to
such heinous crimes and SNBL's operations in the USA. I'd like to know
what the USDA is planning to do specifically in this matter and in what
timeframe. Companies such as SNBL, should not be allowed to operate in
the USA - Period. If the USDA is incapable of acting on this issue
in an urgent manner, I plan to push for congressional intervention. -
