14 DAY TRIAL // This April 25, at precisely 9 a.m., a group of PETA members dressed as bandaged pigs and covered in fake blood crashed Johnson & Johnson's annual meeting in New Brunswick.
The animal rights activists only had one goal on their minds: convincing the company to quit experimenting on animals and turn towards more humane methods of testing its products instead.
Just to make sure that their message and pleas would not be ignored by the people taking part in this company meeting, the PETA members who carried out this protest held up banners which read as follows: “Don't Cut Me Up” and “I Am Not Lab Equipment.”
“It defies reason that Johnson & Johnson would choose to use cruel, painful, and inferior training methods in one facility and superior, non-animal methods in another.”
“For the sake of animals and shareholders, the company needs to get its act together and stop maiming and killing animals,” PETA member Kathy Guillermo said.
