Protest
continued from page 1
Most of the activists who gath
ered outside Marrocco’s home
had also participated in a protest
on campus organized by Students
for the Ethical Treatment of Ani
mals.
The SETA protest began at the
EMU Amphitheater Tuesday at 3
p.m. and led to Huestis Hall,
where 17 marchers tried entering
the graduate research area to con
front researchers. Some of the sev
eral OPS and Eugene Police De
partment officers present turned
the protesters away, saying that
access to the research area was re
stricted.
The protesters then stood out
side Huestis Hall, handed out fly
ers and chatted amongst them
selves for about half an hour
before marching to the site of
what will become a zebra fish re
search facility next to the Univer
sity Facilities Services building.
SETA co-director Haley Smith,
who led the march on campus but
didn’t go to Marrocco’s home,
said students should be outraged
by Marrocco’s research.
“He kills animals, and he tor
tures animals,” she said. “This is
taking place on our campus, and
we should be more accountable
for it.”
Marrocco said his research uses
monkeys and mice to study atten
tion deficit disorders. After exper
iments are completed, he said, an
imals are killed and their nervous
systems are analyzed.
“I guess I’m a speciesist,” he
said. “We’re the dominant species
here, and we have to decide
what’s best for humanity. We can
make a difference here, and it
would be immoral not to.”
Marrocco said the protest out
side his home, the second in as
many years, hasn’t discouraged
him from doing his work.

inant species here, and
we have to decide what's

“This comes with the territo
ry,” he said. “These people cure a
minority. The vast majority of
people on campus support what
I do.”
Tom Dyke, Vice Provost for Re
search, said the University con
ducts research using animal sub
jects including mice, rabbits,
zebra fish, freshwater fish and
monkeys.
“Animal models are the only
way to find the type of informa
tion we want to get at,” he said.
“No treatment of humans has
been discovered without animal
research.”
