Guest guest Posted June 16, 2001 Report Share Posted June 16, 2001 Fwd From Animal Liberation List Date 10:57 Jun 13 Subject LIBERATE: CHIIMPANZEES IN CAGES We all know the story of chimpanzees kept in cages for biomedical research without enough room to stand up or turn around in. Well the Laboratory Primate Advocacy Group (LPAG) is in the process of building an excellent website. The site will have a memorial page dedicated to remembering the monkey and ape friends that have been lost to us in the labs around the world. Their names and lives should be recognised, and they should be remembered forever for their unwilling servitude. If you have worked in a primate laboratory in any capacity and know a monkey, chimpanzee, bonobo or orangutan who should be honoured, please help us and LPAG to remember and to educate. Contact us (anonymously if you wish) to join us in preserving their memories by including a tribute on LPAG's website. http://www.lpag.org We are also asking our members to call upon the directors of the five NIH laboratories housing HIV-infected chimpanzees to issue public statements about the current status of the chimpanzees on HIV studies in their care. Please write to them as well. Their statements should include the names, ages, infectious status, likes and dislikes (food and toy preferences), and cage and building mates of the chimpanzees on these studies. It should also include the number of personal caretakers they have, how manyy humans they see during the day, what their housing conditions, enrichment schedule and daily routines are. Please join us and LPAG in requesting the centre directors to provide this information so that these individuals can begin to have the recognition they rightly deserve.
