Here’s a little tip for the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE): The seven National Primate Research Centers (NPRCs) have blown billions in taxpayer dollars on experiments infecting monkeys with deadly pathogens, electro-ejaculating male monkeys, scaring monkeys with real snakes, and scalding a monkey to death in a high-temp cage washer. 😱 What’s a bigger waste than that??

Most animals at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center were known only by their tattoo numbers, PETA’s investigator noted during a six-month undercover investigation into the NPRC. Monkey r12001, pictured here, had endured chronic diarrhea for six years.
These centers have tormented and killed hundreds of thousands of monkeys since the 1960s and made no new advances toward promised vaccines and cures. But the dough keeps rolling in. 😑

This infant, known to experimenters only as r20042, was reportedly bred for Zika virus experiments.
In 2013, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally admitted that most experiments using chimpanzees, our closest ape relatives, were unnecessary. Two years later, Harvard shut down the New England Primate Research Center.

The seven remaining centers—California NPRC at the University of California–Davis; Oregon NPRC at Oregon Health & Science University; Southwest NPRC at Texas Biomedical Research Institute; Tulane NPRC at Tulane University; Washington NPRC at the University of Washington; Wisconsin NPRC at the University of Wisconsin– Madison; and Emory NPRC at Emory University—are money pits and monkey hellholes.
Shut Them Down

More and more monkeys will suffer and die at the hands of cruel experimenters unless we speak up for them! Please hit up your members of Congress and urge them to shut off the funding to the seven National Primate Research Centers TODAY. 👏
