Help Save Endangered Monkeys—Back This Bill!

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

Monkeys belong in forests, not laboratories. 🌳 If you agree, getting this bill passed is goal #1!

Reps. Greg Steube (R-Fla.-17) and Dina Titus (D-Nev.-01) have introduced a groundbreaking bill—the Preventing Risky Importation of Monkeys to Avoid Toxic Exposures (PRIMATE) Act (HR 8471) —that would ban the import of monkeys going to laboratories or their suppliers.

In 2025, more than 22,000 primates entered the U.S. If this bill is passed, not one more monkey would be abducted, crated, flown, trucked, caged, tormented, and killed in pointless experiments in this country.

Long-tailed macaques, who are on red alert for extinction thanks to these experiments, would be able to thrive in their forest homes. Traffickers and breeders would lose their incentive to harm monkeys, and Big Pharma would be pushed to use human-relevant research methods, which actually lead to treatments. 😮‍💨 Not bad for one bill.

None of this can happen if the bill doesn’t become law, so the gov needs to hear from you TODAY. Please urge your Congressional representative to co-sponsor this monkey-saving bill!

Message to {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName}:

I am writing as a voting constituent in your district to strongly urge you to co-sponsor the Preventing Risky Importation of Monkeys to Avoid Toxic Exposures (PRIMATE) Act (HR 8471), introduced by U.S. Reps. Greg Steube (R-Fla.-17) and Dina Titus (D-Nev.-01).

The bipartisan bill seeks to end the importation of monkeys destined for laboratories into the U.S. This means ending the introduction and spread of pathogens that have accompanied the tens of thousands of monkeys caught up in the experimentation pipeline, which in 2025 included 22,000 primates pulled from the forests and facilities around the world. That protects public health.

It would disrupt the widespread international monkey-trafficking rings that decimate forest populations. That halts corruption.

It would finally stop the intense suffering monkeys have endured for generations at the hands of U.S. experimenters. That ends cruelty.

And science, long misled and misguided by attempts to translate results from other primate species to humans, would finally be pushed to use superior, human-relevant research methods, speeding treatments to human patients in need. That saves human lives.

There is no downside to supporting this bill. Please co-sponsor the Preventing Risky Importation of Monkeys to Avoid Toxic Exposures (PRIMATE) Act.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,
