Young, VMD MS , Director, Comparative Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and Chairman of Americans for Medical Progress (AMP). “We are asking celebrities to walk away from PETA’s quarter-century of extremism and instead celebrate with us the human and animal lives that have been saved and strengthened over the past twenty-five years and more, thanks to the responsible and humane use of laboratory animals in biomedical research. We need the entertainment community’s support to ensure that this essential research continues so that people and animals can live healthier and longer lives.”
