Hello all. I am so grateful that nearly 200,000 people have signed my petition to help these baby monkeys who the University of Wisconsin wants to torture by cruel anxiety and trauma-inducing experimentation. I know many of you want to do more, so I am suggesting another step of making a personal phone call to the University. Please make a polite call to one (or all) of the numbers listed below. It is absolutely imperative that you remain polite because our leverage on this issue and credibility as citizens depends on our compassion. University Communications (608) 262-3571 University of Wisconsin Foundation (608) 263-4545 Ray Cross, President of University of Wisconsin System (608) 262-2321 Campus Switchboard (608) 263-2400 Jane Radue, Executive Director for Board of Regents (608) 262-2324 Jessica Tormey, Chief of Staff (608) 265-5953 James Villa, Vice President for University Relations (608) 262-4464 University of Wisconsin’s President, Ray Cross, was forced to address this controversy on C-SPAN earlier this week. Cross said he was uncertain whether or not the experiments have started. Cross went on to say they are “reevaluating” at the moment. That leaves me hopeful that there is still time to do more, and that’s why I need you to make a few phone calls. If you do not get through to someone, please leave a voice message and politely say something like: “My name is . I am shocked that the University of Wisconsin plans to conduct outdated, unnecessary and cruel experiments on baby monkeys, taking them away from their mother, intentionally scaring them and killing them at a young age so their brains can be dissected. This hurts the reputation of the entire University of Wisconsin system, and I hope that you embrace more ethical ways of helping depressed children rather than resorting to this barbaric cruelty." It’s as easy as that. Thank you very much and please continue to share the petition. There are additional actions I will suggest in the following days and weeks until such point that we confirm these experiments are cancelled! Best, Dr. Ruth Decker
