Stop brain experiments on monkeys

Researchers at four leading UK universities forced monkeys to endure brutal experiments on their brains.

Frightened and alone, these essentially wild animals were subjected to brain surgery to implant devices into their skulls that hold their heads rigidly in place. They were forced to sit completely immobilised and made to look at computer screens or push levers for hours a day.

These highly intelligent and social animals should be living freely in the jungles of south-east Asia, not suffering in UK university laboratories.

And these experiments are so unnecessary. Our expert scientists believe that animal researchers are grossly exaggerating the importance of these cruel experiments to breakthroughs in human medicine.

Please send an email to the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Newcastle and University College London by filling in the form. It’s your chance to tell them that experiments on monkeys’ brains are cruel, unnecessary - and have no place in our universities.

Sir David Attenborough and Dr Jane Goodall are also supporting our call for an end to these controversial experiments. Please join them to speak out together for the monkeys who have no voice. 

They simply won’t be able to ignore us.
