The Primate Freedom Project has three components: Education, Advocacy, and Support.
The aim of the Primate Freedom Project is to save primates from American labs, as well as to advocate for the cruelty behind vivisections.
Nearly 60.000 monkeys are used in basic research each year in the United States alone, and their numbers are growing. Private pharmaceutical companies, publicly funded universities, and the United States government have formed a coalition to defend against this cruelty. With their limitless resources, control of the media, and ability to jail dissenters, resistance can seem futile.
To raise awareness, we have a ‘Primate Freedom Tag‘ that bears the number of a primate in an American lab. Each tag has a unique permanent record stamped, containing the serial number of a monkey or non-human ape being held for experimentation in one of America’s primate research laboratories. Additionally, this record includes the date of birth, gender, species, and location of a prisoner. Each tag is packaged in an informative mini-booklet which explains how to contact the primate centre where your adopted prisoner is held along with questions to ask about the primate on your Primate Freedom Tag.
