Defendant to Answer Complaint
On February 10, 2021, the Animal Legal Defense Fund filed a lawsuit on behalf of Madeline Krasno, a former employee of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s controversial primate research labs, who has been prevented from posting truthful comments on the university’s otherwise public Instagram and Facebook posts because they are critical of the university’s storied history of animal testing. Because UW-Madison is a public university, the complaint alleges the ban on Krasno’s participation on its Instagram and Facebook posts violates Krasno’s constitutional right to engage in protected speech.
