We are Almost There!
The Institute of Medicine’s recent recommendations that chimpanzees "are not necessary" in nearly all areas of biomedical research, and the National Institutes of Health acceptance of them, show that we are closer than ever to ending chimpanzee use and retiring them to sanctuary.
As of March 2012,
there are 162 House cosponsors and 15 Senate cosponsors in support of GAPCSA.
Read the complete bill text H.R.1513 and S.810.
What GAPCSA Will Do
- End invasive
research on chimpanzees
- Retire them to sanctuary
- End the
waste of tax dollars
- End the
suffering and languishing of hundreds of chimpanzees
PLEASE ACT NOW…the
chimps are counting on us!
