10 Terrible Things To Do To Monkeys – Act Now!

Monkeys are sensitive and intelligent primates who, in their natural homes, form deep emotional bonds with members of the order and forage in large areas of the forest. More than 106,000 of them are imprisoned in laboratories each year in the United States, where most of them are subjected to archaic and aggressive abuse. experiments that do not carry over to humans… Some of these terrible things are just out of curiosity.

Here are 10 awful things that are done to monkeys in laboratories around the country, and how you can help these animals.

1. Experimenters usually tear baby monkeys away from their mothers during the first year of life. Mothers scream in pain because the workers forcefully separate them from the babies. Experimenters can offer newborns a pathetic rag mama to cling to.

2. Baby monkeys are exposed human intruder… Experimenters take them out of their “home” environment with family or friends and place them in a small unfamiliar cage. This alone is terrible. To aggravate the trauma, the experimenter threatens them with, for example, prolonged eye contact. Some of these young, defenseless animals toss about in the cage or remain almost motionless, frozen in fear.

3. Laboratories make monkeys live in small and practically sterile cells – often alone – for life… Cornelius is one of them. For ten years, experimenters at the National Primate Research Center of Wisconsin have deprived him of everything that is natural and important to a monkey’s life. The PETA investigator often saw him sitting hunched over or with his face buried in the cage bars, losing his will to live.

four. As if the conditions weren’t dire enough for them, the monkeys confined in the laboratory are imprisoned. danger of being cooked alivedue to the incompetence of the staff. Two rhesus monkeys at the Oregon National Primate Research Center were scalded to death in a cage when an unwary worker put him through a high-temperature washer with macaques inside. Similar atrocities took place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Texas Anderson Cancer Center, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and elsewhere.

Regardless of the method of experimentation, 95% of all new drugs are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials…

5. Experimenters use monkeys mainly in erroneous HIV vaccination experiments… Monkeys cannot be infected with HIV, so experimenters infect them with monkey immunodeficiency virus (SIV). Not surprisingly, of the approximately 100 HIV vaccines successfully tested in animals, no one of these, as shown by clinical trials, provide a person with sufficient protection against HIV. Nevertheless, experimenters continue to torture the monkeys and vomit.

6. The brain parts of the monkeys imprisoned in Elizabeth Murray’s lab are sucked out or destroyed. with toxin. They are then caged and tortured by fake spiders and snakes in taxpayer-funded experiments that are as useless as they are cruel.

7. Monkeys that try to escape from their cages sometimes do not go missing for several days. This was the case at the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC), where monkeys are often allowed to flee – a flagrant violation of federal animal welfare laws. BUT monkey imprisoned by VANPR missing for two days before she was found in a tunnel cage, dehydrated and hungry. The staff did not report that she was missing, but the center never received even a reprimand.

8. Prisoners in the laboratory monkeys are usually tied to armchairs for other brutal purposes and are often deprived of food and water to force them to carry out assignments. It was case at Duke Universitywhere an experimenter made monkeys use computer touchscreens to select logos for brands such as Pizza Hut and Nike, based on their combinations with images of other monkeys. Their “reward” for doing this absurd experiment was small drops of fruit juice.

nine. On the National Primate Research Centers In other laboratories, workers pull monkeys out of cages with poles that attach to metal collars around their necks, strap them to restraint chairs, and shock their genitals until they ejaculate. Monkeys who have undergone this terrible procedure are euphemistically called “sperm donors.”

10. Thousands of other monkeys are bred on dilapidated industrial farms in Asia, and then sent to the United States to be used and killed in experiments. Air France remains the world’s last major airline. delivery of monkeys to the laboratory… On these flights, injured monkeys are stuffed into small wooden crates and transported in dark and terrifying aircraft cargo holds for up to 30 hours. Upon arrival in the United States, the animals are sent to dealers and laboratories, where they are imprisoned and tortured.

PETA advocates are calling for the release of monkeys in laboratories in appropriate sanctuaries where they can live with the safety and dignity they deserve. Will you join them?
