PETA is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the vandal who used a razor blade to slash up and destroy the group\u2019s display at the University of Massachusetts\u2013Amherst (UMass). Photos of the vandalism are here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

PETA brought the exhibit\u2014\u201cWithout Consent<\/a>,\u201d which examines the history of experiments on animals from the 1920s through today\u2014to UMass as part of its campaign against Agn\u00e8s Lacreuse\u2019s menopause experiments on marmosets.<\/p>\n

The vandal attacked the display around 3:30 p.m. ET today. As PETA reported to police, a young man in his late teens or early twenties was spotted fleeing the scene; PETA\u2019s witness describes him as white, approximately 6 feet tall, with shaggy brown hair, and wearing a plaid flannel jacket. Police are looking for the perpetrator and checking nearby CCTV cameras for footage of the crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cA violent man may have vandalized PETA\u2019s display, but we\u2019ll still be at UMass next week to speak up in behalf of the tiny marmosets who are mutilated and killed in Agn\u00e8s Lacreuse\u2019s laboratory,\u201d says PETA Vice President Dr. Alka Chandna. \u201cPETA urges everyone to be on the alert for a young man on campus with a sharp object, as other students may be at risk. We suggest that police start with workers in Lacreuse\u2019s laboratory.\u201d<\/p>\n
