Giant Tampon Stops Flow of Traffic to Protest Painful Menstrual Experiments on Animals

New York City’s finest!

While many crucial women’s health projects go unfunded, Columbia University is squandering millions of dollars in federal grants on experiments in which researchers jam metal pipes into caged monkeys’ skulls to “study the connection between stress and women’s menstrual cycles.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the university’s own internal investigation concluded that Columbia had failed to provide sufficient postsurgical pain relief, basic veterinary care, and euthanasia to animals used in experiments … yet the tests continue.

Dr. Catherine Dell’Orto, a former postdoctoral veterinary fellow at Columbia, blew the whistle on cruelty in Columbia’s labs. Her efforts to improve laboratory conditions met with resistance and retaliation—she was ignored, shunned, and blackballed, deemed “too emotional,” and denied entry to the primate facilities, so PETA is taking the fight to the streets.
