During 2006 over 62,000 non-human primates were the victims of
experimentation in the United States. These primates are spread out
between dozens of universities, contract laboratories and government
facilities. One of the most common varieties of experimentation
involves drug addiction experiments. This experimentation often
subjects squirrel monkeys, rhesus monkeys, baboons, or others primates
to decades of isolation, confinement, and agony.
Animal experimentation is a huge issue. It’s so big that we really have
no adequate idea of how many animals are victimized in labs every year.
About 1,100 labs in the U.S. perform animal experiments. Tens of
thousands of animal die every day – one at a time.
