Seven months ago Simara Rose visited The California Science Center and was horrified to discover live animals enclosed in exhibits frogs, baby chicks and a lone rat in a plastic box with children banging on the box.

She wrote letters to the board of directors, Shannon Keith (a well known animal lib lawyer) wrote letters, Simara had thousands of supporters write letters, PETA had an action alert on the situation and still there is no progress ..please help..

Here is the letter Simara wrote to one of the board of directors:
LOCATION:
Jeffrey N. Rudolph, President and CEO
Edna Anderson-Owens, Chair
California Science Center Foundation
700 State Dr.
Los Angeles, CA 90037

here is the letter I sent:
to

California Science Center
Exposition Park
700 State Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90037


Mr. Miranda
We visited your museum on February 17th 2006. We were shocked to discover your use of live animals in your exhibitions. We found a live rat all alone imprisoned in a cage while children continually pounded on his plastic cubicle.
   We saw live frogs that belonged in a lake or the woods and baby chicks imprisoned in a plastic cubicle without their parents. These animals endure loneliness, boredom, anxiety, confusion and depression.
   This sir, is no way to teach about life-by kidnapping it, by forcing it to live out of it's natural habitat, by keeping it away from it's natural way and from fellow animals of their own kind. Put yourself in their position.. how would you feel? Only hardened criminals deserve to be jailed.

I request that you release all live animals to local animal rescues and no longer use live animals in your museum. Instead please use films, photographs and literature.


Please let the world know that you do care about animals by not using live animals in your museum. I await your reply.

Regards
Simara Rose
