News Release 09/26/05 UW’s PIO Goes Too
Far.
At the center of the storm is the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center, the epicenter of disgust for animal rights activists like Rick Bogle, former educator, Peace Corps volunteer and founder of the Primate Freedom Project. Bogle has long worked against the cruel and inhumane activities taking place inside the WNPRC and the Harlow Lab but has never broken the law at protests. Bogle is now upset about untrue comments made by Jordana Lenon, the public information officer for the University of Wisconsin. Lenon has even contacted the Dane County Executive and Board of Supervisors, spreading her own brand of untruths to thwart the activities of Bogle such as the opening of the National Primate Research Exhibition Hall. Lenon’s comments cited in the suit are: …….the violence it encourages and the illegal acts Mr. Rick Bogle, in particular, has been associated with at our Primate Center …. Lenon goes on to attack Bogle’s reputation stating: He was very careful not to get arrested himself, but rather to recruit minors to do his dirty work The suit comments that Bogle has never been arrested for any of the activities Lenon accuses him of neither has there been any investigation by law enforcement into Lenon’s claims. Bogle has lived in Madison less than a year and is spearheading the construction of the National Primate Research Exhibition Hall to educate children and adults about medical research.
