PETA has discovered that an institute that has funded experimenters to repeatedly force-feed parasite-infested feces to animals and slice their bodies open is supported by Wegmans Food Markets, a popular supermarket chain. Tell the company it’s time to bag the cruelty and check out of animal testing.
Wegmans is a sponsor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Food Research Institute, which has also funded experimenters to force-feed pregnant monkeys whipping cream contaminated with listeria. The mothers were then cut open and their babies, some of whom had been killed by the bacteria, were removed and dissected. In another test, experimenters injected mice with botulinum bacteria and waited for them to die.
The company can easily abandon this cruelty. After hearing from PETA, the institute created a compassionate new fund that allows companies the option to allocate their sponsorship dollars toward modern research that is entirely animal-testing-free.
Wegmans simply needs to restrict its donations to this new fund, ensuring company dollars only support superior, non-animal research methods. Numerous industry leaders, including PepsiCo. Inc. and Campbell Soup Company, have already done so after hearing from PETA.
What You Can Do
Please TAKE ACTION and urge Wegmans Food Markets to restrict its funding to the Food Research Institute’s non-animal research fund and join PETA’s Eat Without Experiments program.
After you take action, you’ll see an easy way to share this information. Please ask five friends or relatives to support this campaign!
