Tell Congress to Stop the Army's Cruel Use of Monkeys

We urgently need your help to end the cruel and unnecessary use of monkeys in military chemical warfare training. PCRM has just learned that the U.S. Army is scheduled to receive 20 vervet monkeys in the coming weeks. Please tell your members of Congress to act quickly to stop this. A shocking training video and veterinary records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act clearly show that these chemical casualty management courses are cruel. Visit PCRM.org/Army to take action.

This is so ridiculous. How could people do such a terrible thing and get away with this kind of cruelty just by slapping a "testing" label on it. I am losing faith in humanity,..

I know an American marine who's vehemently against ANY sort of animal abuse; and he's honest, strong, and quite a wonderful human being. He is disgusted to be associated with this unscientific monkey torture and knows we as human beings have the ability to do things differently, always. Example of differences: TGN1412 was safe in monkeys at very high doses and devastated the health of the first 6 people who tried it. Other examples abound. People choose to be evil...shame on you.

My comment wasn't just directed towards this video, but the 'idea' of animal testing in general.

dont readily believe everything u read; for 1, this video makes statements w/out citing sources so whomever edited this added whatever text they wanted. this videos very old (dates back to the 80s) and ALL of the statements it says are taken out of context. 0:31 says the monkey was in pain but that comment in the labs journal has NOTHING to do w/ the video footage monkey. the monkey that quote refers to was one that had been bitten by another unrelated monkey, not the monkey lying on the table.

I would; there are plenty of serial rapists and murderers to go around to test on
