Stop Torturing Monkeys in Lab Experiments

Target: National Primate Research Center Directors John Morrison, Nancy L. Haigwood, Deepak Kaushal, Jay Rappaport, Michele A. Basso, Jon Levine, and Paul Johnson.

Goal: Stop unnecessary medical experiments on monkeys.

A truck on its way to a lab in Pennsylvania crashed on the highway. Inside, authorities found around 100 monkeys being transported in small crates. Three other monkeys were missing. Monkey feces and urine were smeared across the highway, causing hazardous consequences for vehicles driving by. The monkeys were not tested for any viruses, which is especially dangerous during a worldwide pandemic. When the three missing monkeys were found later, they were shot and killed due to orders from the CDC.

Monkeys carry various diseases such as West Nile virus, malaria, Chagas disease, simian immunodeficiency virus, herpes B, and hepatitis. All are transmittable to humans. The only way to stop the spread of disease from monkey to human is to close all of the seven lab facilities operated by the National Primate Research Center (NPRC). Centers are currently open in California, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Georgia. Not only is this dangerous to humans, but it is cruel to the monkeys. Tell the NRPC to stop experimenting on monkeys.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Center Directors of NPRC,

We demand the halt of monkey experimentation in your centers. The recent crash of a truck carrying monkeys in Pennsylvania, where three of the animals died and many others were exposed to potential injury, shows it is time to stop this cruelty. Experimentation is not fair to the monkeys or the public. Animals in labs suffer unimaginably while living in constant fear. Furthermore, humans are being plagued by a global pandemic and transporting live monkeys  can expose us to even more harmful diseases.

It is not ethical in any way to keep your business up and running. Every center should hear the concerns from the public, shut down, and find safe places to keep the monkeys.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    LET’S DO THESE EXPERIMENTS ON THE MORONS WHO WANT TO DO THEM ON THE ANIMALS AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT.

    Find a sanctuary to let these poor souls that were likely kidnapped and separated from their families. Everything on this planet is inter-connected but monkeys and humans are not physiologically the same for medicines to work in the same way. We are very similar but they are a different species. If laboratories and big pharma truly want to help humans with cures, they should spend money on non-animal methods, such as human cells and tissues, computer models, robotics, etc. The world is moving forward with these new and more accurate technologies — doesn’t it make sense to use these more advanced methods for our and our loved ones’ health instead of inaccurate and outdated methods?

  3. As there are enough alternatve test methodes inmeantime, thats exactli the reason why I will vote ‘yes’ this weekend (Switzerland). Its high time that we stopp to misuse animals.

  4. Tonya Ehret says:

    Absolutely unnecessary!

  5. Testing should be done on murderers and rapists. More accurate results- better for the planet.

  6. STOP ALL CRUEL TORTUROUS EXPERIMENTS ON ALL MONKEYS AND ALL OTHER ANIMALS IMMEDIATELY!!!!+

  7. Why are you not naming Fauci in this petition?

    And why did it take you so long to do this petition?

    Why are you (and other animal petition sites) protexting him?

    I signed this but your silence about Fauci …who authorizes and funds these primate and puppy experiments…is disgusting

  8. How disgusting is this to put these defenceless animals through hell. You are TRULY, EVIL and WICKED people and should be and must be punished to the highest degree.
    Karma will ALWAYS find you, be SURE OF THAT.
    SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON ALL OF YOU INVOLVED IN SUCH CRUELTY, YOU ARE VILE.

  9. Rose Coffey says:

    Stop using animals as lab test subjects!!!! Let’s start using ANIMAL ABUSERS instead – they seem to like torture and pain. Since they are so good at dishing it out they should welcome the chance to prove their “toughness” at testing labs.

  10. There is no excuse for such horrid human behavior…..if all humans lived by just 1 rule…”do Unto others as you would have them do unto you” the world would be such a sunny peaceful place!

  11. Let’s do this to Fauci as he is funding all this. Also, take those on death row and experiment on them. You can’t get answers from animals but you can with humans.

    • I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always said this as well. Take those animal abusers and child molesters and rapists and experiment on them. AND Fauci and his monsters who are doing those experiments on those poor innocent creatures.

  12. Pauline Waskiewicz says:

    Over 30 years fighting this fight for monkeys, dogs, rabbits, rats, mice. Not much change has happened. Personal product makers that have stopped animal testing was a huge step and I am grateful for that. Most of these tests are done by universities repeatedly for decades only to get government money to pad their pockets, not for any purposeful outcome.

  13. Maria Bertrand says:

    STOP TORTURING ANY ANIMAL IN ANY LAB WORLDWIDE. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE. LET’S REVERSE THE TABLE AND EXPERIMENT ON THE ALL MONSTERS DOING THESE HEINOUS ACTS ON INNOCENT ANIMALS AND SEE HOW IS FEELS!!!!

    IN THIS DAY WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT PROGRESS MADE IN EVERY VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING WHY IS THIS STILL AN OPTION. FIND OTHER WAYS!!!!!!! THAT DOES NOT TORTURE THE INNOCENT.!!!!!!!!
    YOU ARE ALL IN SANE TO THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE!

    WHERE ARE THE ANIMALS RIGHTS GROUPS THAT WE DONATE TO!

  14. There’s plenty of lifers, death row inmates, pedophiles, animal abusers, rapists, and terrorists out there to do these experiments on! USE THEM!!

  15. This has been going on for DECADES. Do your homework.

  16. Sure. This petition will do it. 🙄

  17. leave the animals alone!!

  18. Michelle Stewart says:

    All animal experiments must be made illegal all over the world. Test on people, not animals

  19. Maria Bertrand says:

    Twisted people approve, fund and implement these tortures…..world needs to END!!!!

    The animals will have the last laugh…..YOU ARE SICK MONSTERS TO THINK IT IS OK TO INJECT ANIMALS WITH DRUGS, CUT VOCAL CORDS ETC ETC ETC YOU TWISTED PSYCHOS!!!!!! HOPE YOU GET IT SOON!!!! SO DISHEARTENED AND DISGUSTED WITH THE HUMAN RACE!!!!
