Primates who are used in experiments never asked to be there nor did they agree nor were they asked. They go through horrors unimaginable to mankind. They are kept in tiny cages. They are handled by people who have no experience in animal handling. They are put in many kinds of restraints such as a see through tube that allows no movement are a chair that they are put into, straped down and again lose the ability to move. They go through painful experiments. Some have their skulls cut open and have electrodes attached to their brains. Some are blinded. Others are given strokes. And all of this is with out any pain killers. They stay in these conditions for years on end. Babies are taken away from their mothers at birth and put in cages alone. In the wild this would never happen. Mothers take care of their babies for up to 5 years, and all monkeys live in very tight social groups. Every year about 70,000 monkeys go through this horror in the USA alone. This number has gone up by 90% in the last 10 years.
So please take one minute to help monkeys for all the years to come.

Stop these horrors that our Primates have to endure in the name of "Science". This testing on Primates ought to be abolished. It is cruel and inhumane.

This is totally barbaric and unnecessary in the twenty first century. You only do this out of greed for money. How would you feel about it if you were in their place? Stop this machiavellian practice.
