The Region - News from Jan. 7, 1985

Carrying placards that said “Animal research is scientific fraud” and “No more animal research,” about 200 people picketed the Westwood home of the executive director of the City of Hope to protest the use of live animals at its research facility. Organizers of the protest, Students United Protesting Research on Sentient Subjects (SUPRESS), contend that animals at the Duarte facility, where nearly 100 research animals were stolen last month, are going unfed and are kept in unhealthy quarters. Authorities said the protest was peaceful and that Ben Horowitz, the City of Hope executive director, was not home at the time.
