In disturbing news, the director of the $40 million Southwest National Primate Center (SNPRC) will retain his full duties despite admitting to intentionally falsifying and fabricating data in cruel tuberculosis experiments on primates.

Last year CAARE exposed senseless experiments on monkeys at Rockefeller University that probe their brains to study how the brain deciphers facial recognition. Through highly invasive experiments, these living sentient individuals are turned into recording devices to satisfy scientific curiosity.

The FDA Modernization Act is under peril. Two lawmakers have introduced substitute legislation that would omit the FDA Modernization Act from the final FDA legislative packet – an act that would maintain the requirement for animal testing for new drug development.

Your help is urgently needed to remove a dangerous provision that has been added to S.4348, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Landmark Advancements Act (FDASLA).

This is an historic moment. The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote tomorrow June 7 on the FDA Modernization Act as a rider to the Food and Drug Amendments of 2022.

Most will never have a name, but they are no different from other animals we know. They need love and companionship but spend their lives in isolation. The rare touch from a human hand is likely to come with pain, callousness and death.

The future of primates in biomedical research is being examined by a committee under the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM).

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. In 600 pages of documents retrieved from Freedom of Information requests, PCRM exposed the intense suffering of monkeys in this sloppy research.

The FDA Modernization Act of 2021 is advancing through Congress and we have an exciting opportunity to change the laws requiring FDA animal testing.

We’re on a mission to change the laws that keep animal labs going and reward scientists for carrying out animal research.
