Because the organization still exists and still asks for donation and finally:
YOU are the living proof that it made sense to write since you, my dear Wolfi, read it obviously. Even though you used my entry only in a counter-productive way, you disqualified your own argumentation by replying. :)
Hi, I've also received calls from them & thank to you all who've done the checking I can vouch for PCRM. People's Committe For Responsible Medicine is an organization/ & charity spearheaded by Dr. Neil Bernard. Quickly, they are based in CA but also have offices in DC; these are bona fide Md's who've formed an organization for better medical care w/out the use of animal research ; they are against torturing animals in labs in the name of medical "science" and as MD's they know that modern science can rely almost 100% upon computer models which much more accuraacy replicate the human body for testing. I myself am a supporter and probably got on their list from either their website, FaceBook page or by making charitible donations. But , like everyone else here, i do not don't appreciate receiving unsolicited calls followed by inevitible hang ups anymore than the rest of us. I will contact them via phone, facebook or their website and ask them to remove my number, I get enough emergency information via facebook and USPS. I do want to put in a plug for them however: They are a bona fide regulated & professional charitible organization made up of board certified American Doctors (as well as international mds) who are represented by doctors from every dicipline If you've ever signed a petition against animal testing be in on FaceBook or wherever , or have made a personal donation to this charity they must have gotten your number. If not, we're somehow on some list that was shared with them. Just let them know to stop calling you. Good luck
I have been receiving calls from this number - 7 in the last 6 weeks. They never leave a message. I did manage to pick up once before the call ended and heard what sounded like a recorded message on behalf of PCRM. I give to this group and think they are reputable but WILL NOT tolerate the phone calls. Very annoying and persistent.
They've been calling me every day (!) and never leaving a message, I support PCRM, too, and didn't know it was on their behalf--or from one of their lists (?) that I thought they didn't sell--the calls were being made. I guess I'll pick up next time and tell them to stop calling. Don't they know how much people hate those calls?
PCRM is a nutball affiliate of PETA. They are not interested in facts or the importance of any medical endeavors whatsoever. I was a member, because my work in medicine involves animals and we are responsible with their use and always open to alternative opinions, but I found out immediately after joining that PCRM is only about agenda. They are not only against any and all use of animals to include pet ownership, but they are vegan extremists. If you are rational at all in your thought patterns and a health care provider, don't join these folks or make any donations.
