A recent investigation by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine exposed experiments at Elon Musk’s company Neuralink, that attempted to develop a brain computer interface (BCI) using invasive experiments on animals.

Buckling to pressure from the National Primate Research Centers, who continue to claim a shortage of monkeys for COVID-19 research, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has appropriated $30 million for increasing primate research in the 2022 budget.

CAARE has learned that the government is set to carry out excruciating tests forcing mice and sheep to inhale noxious chlorine gas, even though enough information is already available and there are numerous excellent non-animal alternatives.
