Please join local PETA supporters and fellow Animal Rights Collective Portland (ARCPDX) activists to urge Ajinomoto Co., Inc.—the world's largest manufacturer of flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG) and the owner of popular packaged frozen food brands Tai Pei, Ling Ling, and José Olé – to stop cruel and worthless tests on dogs and other animals. The company has been tormenting thousands of dogs, fish, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, pigs, rabbits, and rats in horrific and deadly experiments since the 1950s. Ajinomoto experimenters have cut open dogs' stomachs and inserted tubes, starved them for 18 hours, given them liquid diets with MSG and other common amino acids, taken their stomach fluid, and injected them with drugs. Following talks with PETA scientists, major companies such as Kellogg, Unilever, and General Mills have adopted new policies banning animal tests and it is time for Ajinomoto to join them. For more information, please visit: www.peta.org/Ajinomoto Please join us to let Ajinomoto know that they need to ban animal testing now! Here are the details: WHEN: Tuesday, May 14, 2024, from 11:45am - 1pm PDT. WHERE: Ajinomoto Foods North America 4901 SE 24th Ave, Portland, OR 97202 (Please see map here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/H2XD61dksNK559rp7) CONTACT: Amber Canavan at AmberC@peta.org All materials (such as posters and leaflets) will be provided. Please refrain from bringing dogs as there may not be shade or a safe place for them to lie down during the protest. Outreach events are a fun and effective way to help animals as well as meet local advocates. Be sure to invite others!
