Baltimore – Johns Hopkins University (JHU) experimenter Shrish Mysore conducted invasive brain experiments on owls without a valid permit four years, and is still conducting these overly aggressive experiments, so tomorrow PETA is sending letters to government agencies demanding accountability. At the same time, PETA supporters will protest at the JHU campus, including a “mad scientist” who will “drill” into the skull of an “owl.”
When: Wednesday 3 November 12:00
Where: JHU, Keyser Quad, 3400 N. Charles St., Baltimore
In letters to state and federal authorities, PETA asks to punish Mysore for not obtaining permission from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR) to conduct its painful experiments on owls. In these taxpayer-funded experiments, Mysore implants electrodes into their brains, forces birds into tight jackets or plastic tubes, grips their eyes, and bombards them with sounds and light for up to 12 hours. Despite the fact that he conducted these experiments in violation of Maryland law for four years, neither the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which funded these experiments, nor MD DNR brought him to justice. PETA asks MD DNR to prevent Mysore from receiving future permits and asks the NIH’s Laboratory Animal Welfare Agency to stop allowing animal experimenters to break the law without any consequences.
“The deadly experiments on owls in Mysore are not only brutal, they have been carried out illegally for years,” says PETA vice president Shalin Gala. “PETA is urging the government to throw the book to this rogue experimentalist who terrorizes birds and acts like he’s above the law.”
PETA, whose motto is in part that “animals are not ours to experiment on” – opposes arrogance, a worldview focused on human excellence.
