Baltimore – On Tuesday, a PETA supporter in an owl costume will deliver nearly 300,000 petitions to the office of Johns Hopkins University (JHU) President Ronald Daniels while leading activists in a spirited protest of JHU experimenter Shreesh Mysore’s appallingly cruel, admittedly worthless, and apparently illegal brain experiments on barn owls.
When: Tuesday, April 6, 12 noon–1 p.m.
Where: JHU, 3400 N. Charles St. (at the main entrance of Garland Hall), Baltimore
Mysore cuts into barn owls’ skulls, implants electrodes in their brains, forces the birds into plastic tubes or jackets so cramped that they can’t move their wings, clamps their eyes open, and bombards them with sounds and lights for up to 12 hours. Eventually, they’re killed. Mysore intends to use up to 60 barn owls in the current set of experiments including six birds just for surgical practice for his staff.
