Innocent chimpanzees are being harmed and killed due to the inhumane practice of animal laboratory testing. Chimps are used as test subjects in pharmaceutical labs to determine the effectiveness of drugs on humans. Most often the animals are euthanized after testing.
It's up to concerned citizens like you to fight for these chimps. Sign the petition below telling Congress to move quickly on passing the Great Ape Protection Act (H.R. 1326)—a law that would prevent chimpanzees from being used for invasive research.
Dear Rep. Edolphus Towns, Because you are the sponsor of the Great Ape Protection Act (H.R. 1326) that is currently waiting to be decided upon, I am writing to ask you to see that this bill is pushed through and cemented into law as quickly as possible. America's chimpanzees are suffering greatly as a result of the laboratory testing pharmaceutical companies are performing on them. Much like humans, chimps are capable of performing advanced physical activities as well as forming emotions such as love and sadness. They don't deserve to experience the pain and suffering the tests create. If the chimpanzees don't suffer psychological or physical harm due to the testing, they are often euthanized anyway. The fact is laboratory testing almost certainly guarantees a very bleak future for the animal in question. More and more pharmaceutical companies and educational institutions are choosing animal testing alternatives; the practice of using animals for lab research is quickly becoming obsolete. Please move forward with H.R. 1326 and ensure that all great apes are given the equal chance to live out full, happy lives, safe from the possibility of an inhumane death. Thank you for your time. |

| Aug 31, 2010 Eileen Cahoon I have read too many books on how much suffer goes on in these labs. Chimps need their families and thrive on being with them. These labs separate these loving animals and treat them beyond inhumanly. Please stop them! |
