Hunter and Lyons were removed last year from the Yerkes Primate

Facility and sent to separate locations after 21 years together. Your

help is vital to see that these two chimpanzees are reunited together

in permanent sanctuary - forever.

 

Chimps, are very social and share more common traits with us than just

their DNA. After Hunter and Lyon's 21 years of 'use' in 'science' they

were then separated. Please show them the compassion from us humans

that they deserve and let them be in a sanctuary for the rest of their

lives.. TOGETHER. These chimps have gone through enough trama being in

the research facility and their only solace, being together 21 years,

has been taken from them now too, so please help and sign the petition

and get them reunited. It is the least we can do.

This petition is for the chimpanzees who have been imprisoned and

experimented on for biomedical research & deserve to live out the

remainder of their lives with dignity and peace and that is why it is

so important to retire them to a permanent sanctuary. Some have been

waiting for as long as 40 and 50 years.They have given so much to

human's. It is time we do the compassionate thing. Your signature and

that of others will build a strong voice. Sign today and please email

friends and family. Get as many people to do the same.

Please help elder & #9829;chipanzees..........

 

Wenka is a frail 52-year-old chimpanzee, held at the Yerkes Primate

Research Center, who deserves the comfort of sanctuary before she

dies. Project R & R needs your immediate help to secure Wenka's release

along with 18 other chimpanzees born in the 1950s who are still held

at labs around the country. Their time is running out.

 

Thank yOu!

Release Wenka and the Elder Chimpanzees

We respectfully urge you to release the Elder chimpanzees listed below

to a sanctuary that provides permanent protection from future research

and meets the highest standards of care.

 

Many of these chimpanzees have endured being taken away from family

and friends during the course of their lives in laboratories. So as

not to further disrupt or traumatize these individuals, we also

request that you release at least one other family member or friend

with each of the Elders.

 

The list of Elders below includes chimpanzees who have been in a

laboratory for 40 or even 50 or more years. Yet, 71% of the American

public agree that chimpanzees who have been in a lab for 10 years or

more should be retired. For these Elders, retirement is long overdue.

Please immediately release these chimpanzees before it is too late for

another single one of them. (Elders who have already died: Gwen, age

54, released Oct. 2006, died Nov. 2006; Susie, age 52, now deceased.

Harriet, age 49, not released, euthanized Dec. 2006; Jenda, age 48,

not released, now deceased; Reba, age 48, not released, now deceased;

Jake, age 48, not released, now deceased.)
