The two 7-foot-by-7-foot cubes are covered with almost 200 stories of animals used in real-life experiments from decades ago through the present.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n

PETA:<\/strong> At this moment, more than 100 million living, feeling beings… are being held prisoner in laboratories in the U.S… In the midst of the global pandemic and the public\u2019s growing awareness of inequality, PETA unveiled a new exhibit, \u201cWithout Consent,\u201d to open people\u2019s eyes to the long history of suffering inflicted on non-consenting animals in laboratories and to challenge them to rethink this exploitation. The enormous exhibit debuted in Washington, D.C., on Capitol Hill, where research budgets are debated and allocated… [Check here<\/a> for upcoming tour dates and locations]…<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout Consent\u201d draws a line from the past exploitation of vulnerable humans, including immigrant women in experimental gynecological surgeries, soldiers in LSD and poison gas tests, impoverished Black men in syphilis experiments, and orphans in tuberculosis experiments, to the torture of millions of animals in laboratories today.

The Research Modernization Deal<\/a> outlines a roadmap and strategy for ending experiments on animals\u2014and for conducting research that\u2019s relevant to humans… copies have been sent to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal agencies\u2014except for the Environmental Protection Agency, which has already… began phasing out animal tests.
