Members of the group PETA or People for Ethical Treatment of Animals took to the University Of Missouri Campus yesterday (Tuesday) for a protest.

The protesters are against animal research at the University saying that Muscular Dystrophy research done on animals at the University has yet to produce any groundbreaking results and makes innocent animals suffer.

The protest by PETA yesterday (Tuesday) was part of an effort to create awareness about World Day for Laboratory
