Some things are just common sense to me. I don’t know why anybody would want to NUKE a monkey. I can’t imagine that only animal rights activists care to do anything about things like this. Nobody should ever have to get hurt or killed for someone else’s advancement. NASA is about to fund (with tax money of course-$1.75 million!!!) space radiation experiments on live squirrel monkeys.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is doing something about it and you can too. They have put up billboards protesting the action all around McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts (where it will take place), they have started a petition, they have peacefully protested the site, and they have found several primate sanctuaries willing to take in the monkeys if they are released.
The monkeys will be exposed to harmful radiation at a lab, shipped to the hospital, housed alone in steel cages for at least four years, compelled to perform tasks to test for impairment, and subjected to daily restraints. What? Why would anyone do that to anything? Is Hitler behind this?
Please sign the petition by clicking on the link. It’s quick and easy. A few seconds of your time could spare these monkeys four or more years of torture.
