This barbaric uncivilized torture of sentient beings must be stopped. A civilization

is judged by how they treat animals and other humans. This treatment should

be illegal and stopped immediately. Humans need to evolve into a kinder species and be mature enough to have compassion and empathy for all creatures.

If a species was somewhat more intelligent than us humans, does that give them the right to experiment and torture us?

[Wolfie9X9]

Why do they insist on using innocent chimps to test drugs on when we have perfectly good pedophiles in prison?

[Kierstyn15]

This is utterly disgusting, uncivilized, and heartless. I dont know how those people can sleep at night after letting/and being involved with these poor animals be tortured.

chimpanzee's they love, they play, they laugh, hug, and cry - just like us. What gives these SICK people the right to do this to them?

We have the technology to test all sorts of illnesses on these poor animals, but we dont have the proper technology to make sure they are treated properly.

I cant believe this. Just Sick

@silliegirl50

You are not worth the time. Some people are just plain heartless.

[ShadowCrashed81]

@dovelybird I'm sure at some point in your life you used something that was animal tested.

[CK1UK1]

No excuse! Hope they escape and eat you!

@Elissama101 Keeping primates in tiny, isolated cages has already passed the line into being cruel. From there it's all downhill. Your idea of humane needs to be put in check. Some of these primates are more intelligent than my 1 year old daughter, would it be humane to put her in a cage alone and feed her once a day, in between biopsies, experimental surgeries and injections?

[paraplegicgiraffe]

@Elissama101 They're still testing on primates. Primate testing is banned in the UK and pretty much all over Europe. Primates are considered to be the most intelligent animals on Earth, and it's acknowledged that they suffer as humans do. If you were locked in a cage and forced to be experimented on, you'd feel like life had fucked you over, as I'm sure these primates feel. It doesn't matter if it's the norm. It SHOULD be illegal.

[Elissama101]

All I suggest is do not take these videos at face value. Much is edited to make a standard humane procedure appear cruel.

[charia2626]

Thank you. This was one of the hardest videos to watch. I had no idea and I will call Congress tomorrow. What else can we do? Have these animals been released

yet?  How could anyone do this to them?
