Help Support The Chimps Deserve Better Campaign

If you are eligible, please pledge your support HERE

A recent report by the Institute of Medicine could not identify any current area of biomedical research for which chimpanzee use is essential and called for a sharp reduction in chimpanzee experiments. The time has come to end the use of chimpanzees in harmful research in the U.S. and focus limited research dollars on more valid, ethical and cost-effective research methods.

The Humane Society of the United States is seeking endorsements from scientists, academics and health professionals to demonstrate to policymakers and others that there is support by the scientific and academic communities to end harmful research on great apes and give them suitable and permanent sanctuary. (Not a scientist? You can still help chimpanzees in laboratories—take action now »)
