Resources & Archives NEAVS' Veterinary Education Packets Pack in Plaudits from 'Down Under' and All Over (Summer 2000) — NEAVS Vice President Marjorie Cramer, MD, FACS, joined other well-known speakers at New York City's World Week for Animals in Laboratories Rally 2000 on April 30. Other speakers included Peter Singer, a pioneer in the animal rights movement, and Robert Cohen, a former vivisector who recently authored Milk: The Deadly Poison. The rally peacefully and powerfully protested against vivisection in general and the work of NYU psychologist Lynne Kiorpes on baby macaque monkeys in particular. Kiorpes has been surgically damaging the vision of macaques, some as young as 10 days old, by rearranging their eye muscles to induce strabismus (cross-eyes). Her outmoded and invasive research has gone on for more than a decade. For the complete text of Dr. Cramer's speech, visit NEAVS' Web site at www.neavs.org.
