• Contact your elected representatives in Washington to express your outrage at the expenditure of our tax dollars on this alleged chimpanzee cruelty. Demand that the NIH immediately terminate all federal funding of Charles River Laboratories and immediately turn over custody of all chimpanzees on Holloman Air Force Base to a reputable, non-governmental sanctuary for permanent retirement.

  • Contact New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid to thank her for helping to lead the effort to amend the state's animal cruelty statute to hold research institutions accountable for the treatment of animals in their laboratories. Tell Ms. Madrid you are aware that without her efforts, these historic charges against Charles River Laboratories for alleged cruelty to chimpanzees would not have been possible.
