Activists Hope Disturbing Monkey Photos Lead to Research Facility Closing

• Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future! <a href="http://www.wheelchairindia.com/" title="Wheelchairs"rel="dofollow">Wheelchairs</a>

• Except this type of research yielded no fruit other than wasting our tax payers' dollars and with obvious cruelty to these primates, which are highly intelligent sentient beings; human beings too are primates. It's like cutting up and mangling your own kind.

• this is horrible i dont care what anyone says, no being should have to go through this so that some stupid human "scientists" can play around and use the term "research" to inflict gross amounts of pain on these innocent lives, this isnt the animals fault, some people are just sick. .

• You got to be joking with me. The Quran burning event is an inane disaster for the U.S. people! Did Terry Jones lose track of the Golden Rule? Treat other people as you would want to be treated. There will undoubtedly be an international protest against this stupid event. Just see for yourself.

• Suprised no one has actually mentioned that Christchurch is NOT the 2nd largest city in NZ.

• I work in a primate breeding facility, these wounds do occur ofter in group housing. The wounds are clearly clean and healing!!Shit happens........especially if you are 2 years old with type 1 diabetes.

• We spotted your article about the Quran issue and it reminded me of something I heard on Fox News. I wish we can all live in harmony.

• Do you realize Anonymous, that there are so many criminals in jail, that you could simply use them for any research... un-humane? So what...they are criminals, and not innocent creatures... And by the way, who needs that fucking cruel research anyhow?

• You people fucking suck so bad. Cruel just cruel..

• No living creature deserves that horrible treatment! Why not have Anonymous volunteer for a little TESTING? Yea didn't think so!

• Completely barbaric and cruel...These tests prove nothing and torture innocent lives.

• Here is the info link to the protest at Primate Products http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=134525076591663&index=1 Tuesday September 7TH AT 11:00am - 1:00pm Primate Products, Inc. - Live Animal Division 7780 NW 53rd Street Miami, FL 33166 Come.

• HUGE PROTEST AT PRIMATE PRODUCTS IN MIAMI. (see link) The CEO, Donald Bradford could even be facing criminal charges. If these monkeys are alive (which they aren't) and this is post-operative care (which it isn't) it clearly isn't a sterile environment, there are no IV's and no dressings and no logical explanation for red, inflamed rear ends and matching frankenstein gashes.

• No wonder you have not identified yourself, Anonymous, your comment is ridiculous and totally misinformed. How can you look at these photos and say that this is OKAY? These monkeys have been sadistically mutilated and left there strapped to the table with their skulls cut open and exposed. You need to go to the web-site PCRM.ORG and read what Holly is talking about. These are live, feeling beings that have the right to live in peace and comfort same as us. Medicines are tested all of the time on animals and passed as "safe" which later kill humans. Remember phen-phen? And what about all of the recalls through the years? Animal's anatomies and CNS are nothing like ours and the entire industry serves only as way for coporate theives to make more money. You don't think that Clorox knows by now that pouring bleach in a rabbit's eye will cause blindness or down a dog's throat will kill it? Clorox is still performing animal testing on products that have been on the shelves for years. OPEN YOUR EYES! Alternatives exist, but there is no money in them, so why bother? I mean they are only animals right? It is okay for them to suffer pain and languishing in cages lonely pulling their own hair out. Why don't you Google Vivisection photos and then tell us that it is okay. The whole industry is as Holly said archaic and barbaric. Why after all of these years and all of these tests have they not found a cure for any incurable diseases: Cancer, Alzheimer's, HIV, ALS, MS. How many millions has Jerry Lewis raised for Muscular Dystrophy and where are we today? Nowhere, that's where.

• Anon, does a monkey scratch open a skull of another to the extent of the brain being exposed? One of those primates had part of his or her skull cut off cleanly. In the same ways that it was wrong to test on autonomous Communists, Jews, Roma, and Queers in the Holocaust, it is wrong to test on other autonomous beings against their will, /even/ if it is for the benefit of the Master Race, whether you see the that special race as all humans or just "aryans". Drop the Master Race Mentality, you fascist scum.

• Someone, too cowardly to even make up a screen name, wrote, "Do you idiots realize what kind of medical and technical advances primate research has given us?" Many WRONG and deadly assumptions have been made because of this type of "research." It's a sham. The only people who believe in this barbaric, antiquated crap are those who profit from it: the animal breeders, equipment manufacturers, labs, etc. IF ANIMAL RESEARCH WAS SO IMPORTANT TO SCIENCE, WOULDN'T ALL U.S. MED SCHOOLS USE ANIMALS? Fact is, 90% of all U.S. medical universities have ELIMINATED all animal labs. It's unethical. It's not science. It's torture for animals. It's all about money for those involved. Don't let the liars or the profiteers fool you.

• First, I want to say thank you to the journalist for not censoring the message of SMASH HLS. This kind of honest journalism in the mainstream is needed for the animals under the thumb of capitalist exploitation. It is also a rare thing. So thank you again, and keep up the good work. Second, I want to say a big f*ck you to Primate Products and their goons who will probably be reading this. You're going down.

• Do you realize how wrong this is Anonymous? Do you have any idea what these beings go through on a daily basis? You speak of medical advances yet you mention none. It is 2010 and we have advanced in science, this is absolutely archaic, barbaric and lends to questionable results. There are computer modeling experiments going on, live tissue experiments, all of which do not involve the torture, enslavement and death of a life. Just as you want to live anonymous, so do they. It is wrong when we have alternatives. WRONG.

• Do you idiots realize what kind of medical and technical advances primate research has given us? Would you rather all those people die just to save the monkeys from scratching each other?

• This is sick. I hope this place shuts down immediately. But knowing how unjust the legal system is, Bradford will probably keep making money from this. Regular people need to do more to stop this.
