ACTION
Tell the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to stop these
horrifically tormenting, useless, invalid experiments that
brutalize animals to get millions of dollars in taxpayer
dollars.

According to the researcher’s own words from his
project description on the NIH website: “As part of a long
standing ongoing program at the Yerkes National Primate Center
studying the effects of early life stress in rhesus monkeys, a
great deal of data … has been carried out. … We believe this is
a tremendous resource that should not be wasted. If we cannot
pay the per diems on these animals they will have to be released
and we will no longer have access to them.”

INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
Shockingly, taxpayer dollars are still being wasted for
animal experiments involving cruel and pointless maternal
deprivation. Emory University, for example, recently received
several grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to
conduct ongoing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
experiments on rats and monkeys. According to one project
description from the NIH website, PTSD was induced in rhesus
monkeys by forcing them to be “separated from their mothers for
variable periods of time each day when they were infants.”

Maternal deprivation and PTSD research on monkeys and other
species is totally unnecessary—there is already ample real-world
human data on these traumas. Such redundant and unproductive
animal research does, however, financially benefit career
researchers and their housing institutions. According to the
researcher’s own words from his project description on the NIH
website: “As part of a long standing ongoing program at the
Yerkes National Primate Center studying the effects of early
life stress in rhesus monkeys, a great deal of data … has been

should not be wasted. If we cannot pay the per diems on these

Emory University is the parent institution for the Yerkes
National Primate Research Center, one of the five
federally-funded research facilities nationwide housing both
chimpanzees and other primates. Yerkes is infamous for its long
and shameful history of experiments on primates and has been
cited numerous times for violations of the Animal Welfare Act. A
significant percentage of every government grant that Yerkes
receives to house and experiment on primates goes to
administrative overhead, benefiting Emory.

Thank you for everything you do for animals!
