Ask California Science Center to Leave Out the Animals!
- Target: Jeffrey N. Rudolph, President and CEO, California Science Center
- Sponsored by: Sam Catt
Recently visitors at the California Science Center
were horrified to discover that live animals including a
rat, baby chicks and frogs were on display. The Rat was
imprisoned in an almost barren plastic cubicle and
shows signs of stress, depression and anxiety as it
shook and twitched while children continually pounded on it's cubicle.
The baby chicks cried out for their mothers. All animals
were in unnatural environments and away from their
families. The Science center was contacted by many
concerned visitors, by People For The Ethical
Treatment of Animals and by the Los Angeles
Organization Last Chance For Animals in an attempt to
stop these animals imprisonment and any future animals from
captivity. Both organizations encouraged the Science
Center to use alternative methods of teaching about
animals such a literature, videos and plastic models.
Keeping animals in captivity only teaches disrespect
and cause unnecessary stress, boredom, depression and
insanity for the animals. Please join us in our plight
to have The Science Center stop using live animals in their
exhibitions and donate these animals to local animal
rescue groups.
Quotes from those who saw the exhibits:
"We found a live rat all alone imprisoned in a cage while children
continually pounded on his
plastic cubicle."
"We saw live frogs that belonged in a lake or the woods
and baby chicks imprisoned in a plastic cubicle
without their parents."
