Starting Monday during the final run of a national tour, PETA will bring its eye-opening exhibit \u201cWithout Consent<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d which explores the troubled history of experiments on animals, to Ohio State University, where animals have suffered acutely in painful, pointless tests. These experiments include using captive-bolt guns to deliver a blow to pigs\u2019 heads with a heavy metal rod (the animals who didn\u2019t die immediately endured hemorrhaging and brain injuries before being killed, bled out, and cut open), submerging baby pigs in a tank full of water-based foam that slowly suffocated them, and inducing strokes in dogs by injecting a blood clot into an artery going to the brain before killing and dissecting them.<\/p>\n

When:\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>Monday, April 1, 12 noon<\/p>\n

Where:\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>Ohio State University, South Oval (green lawn directly adjacent to the Ohio Union), Columbus<\/p>\n

Modeled after the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, \u201cWithout Consent\u201d will be on display locally for five days. It features 28 panels with descriptions and photographs of nearly 200 animal experiments conducted at U.S. institutions from the 1920s through the present. Watch the trailer here<\/a>. An interactive virtual exhibit is also available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Without Consent\u2019 tells the true stories of animals harmed and killed in experiments that they did not and could not consent to,\u201d says PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo. \u201cPETA is calling on Ohio State University and all other institutions to embrace modern, animal-free research, because having the power to exploit other species does not give us the right to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout Consent\u201d also points out that vulnerable humans\u2014including orphans in tuberculosis and psychological experiments, immigrant women in gynecological surgeries, soldiers in LSD and poison gas tests, and impoverished Black men in syphilis experiments\u2014were exploited in experiments. Just as society now understands that these experiments were wrong, \u201cWithout Consent\u201d shows that we need to let a similar moral awakening guide our conduct today by extending consideration to the 110 million animals killed every year in U.S. laboratories. These animals are individuals who feel pain and fear, yet they\u2019re robbed of their babies, force-fed chemicals, and sickened with diseases, among other atrocities.<\/p>\n

Following its debut in 2021, \u201cWithout Consent\u201d has traveled to 29 cities and has shared information about the horrors of experimentation with nearly 15,000 visitors. As neuroscientist and Jeopardy!<\/em> host Mayim Bialik describes it<\/a>, \u201c\u2018Without Consent,\u2019 PETA\u2019s new traveling exhibit, is a must-see. \u2026 Check it out in a city near you and do your part to help create a better future for all!\u201d<\/p>\n

After viewing \u201cWithout Consent,\u201d more than 2,500 visitors were moved to contact their legislators, urging them to oppose animal testing and endorse the Research Modernization Deal<\/a>, which offers a strategy for replacing scientifically useless tests on animals with effective human-relevant research methods.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout Consent\u201d will be open to the public at <\/strong>the South Oval at Ohio State University from 12 noon<\/strong> to 4 p.m.,<\/span> <\/strong>from April 1 through 5. <\/strong><\/p>\n

PETA\u2014whose motto reads, in part, that \u201canimals are not ours to experiment on\u201d\u2014points out that Every Animal Is Someone<\/a> and offers free Empathy Kits<\/a> for people who need a lesson in kindness.
