*Free the Rockville 15: Share the spirit of freedom
today by signing this petition!*
Dear Dr. Bero,
Today we celebrate our nation’s independence, while hundreds of chimpanzees
are still confined in laboratories. Recently I visited a group of fifteen
chimpanzees in a laboratory in Rockville, Md., who are between two and
seven years old and have been used in invasive experiments. I was shocked
to see these youngsters in a laboratory away from their mothers, housed in
pairs, some in solitary confinement, exhibiting a number of abnormal
behaviors. Sadly it gets worse. Not only were these experiments
unnecessary, but now Sarah, Dexter and their nine friends have been
transferred to another laboratory in Louisiana. A laboratory with an
abysmal record of animal care, and the remaining four other chimpanzees
could be moved there any day.
*Please share the spirit of freedom today by signing this
petition<http://support.pcrm.org/site/R?i=0osnckfU1dxU7YgOyt4NUw>
* to ask the National Institutes of Health to intervene on their behalf and
have them transferred to a sanctuary.
The director described it as a nursery. A nursery? The youngsters were
housed in pairs. A pair of two year olds kept each other company. Their
mothers were not present. The seven year olds were housed alone in a
building where they would never able to go outside, breathe fresh air or
see the sun, let alone climb trees, be part of a family and be chimpanzees
the way nature intended. In a chilling nod to institutionalization, all
chimpanzees had been taught to extend a limb to be injected.
You can help free the Rockville 15 from a life warehoused in a laboratory
by *signing this
petition<http://support.pcrm.org/site/R?i=M_8v7p8oPTQ3paY4UnXl1Q>
.*
We are all making a great difference to the lives of chimpanzees, and your
action today, promoting their freedom, will help further the cause.
Thank you for your support.
Happy 4th,
