Peta Warped

08/09/06
. (PR) Many of the biggest names on this summer's Warped Tour have teamed up with peta2-the largest youth animal rights organization in the world-to kick off a campaign against cruel and deadly experiments on primates. Joan Jett, Thursday, Rise Against, Underoath, and Motion City Soundtrack are among the 24 bands that have signed on to the "Save #99" campaign, peta2's primary focus at Warped this year. Crowds of people at each stop of the tour are lining up at peta2's booth in order to join their favorite bands by adding their names to the petition. And thousands more will join them by signing online at peta2.com.

Identified by the last two digits of a number tattooed across his chest, #99 is a monkey who was repeatedly dosed with substances, physically and psychologically tormented, and denied veterinary care at a Vienna, Va., laboratory owned by billion-dollar drug-testing company Covance. The story of #99 is repeated thousands of times every day at laboratories across the country. - Click here for the Full Story
