A LIVING NIGHTMARE: A BUAV INVESTIGATION UNCOVERS THE HORROR OF LIFE FOR PRIMATES USED IN RESEARCH The investigation carried out by BUAV and Soko-Tierschutz at the MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR BIOLOGICAL CYBERNETICS in Tübingen, Germany (MPI) uncovered the brutal way in which monkeys’ lives were controlled and manipulated by researchers, causing them severe suffering. Subjected to major brain surgery to implant devices in their skulls; deliberately deprived of water for days; controlled by a pole attached to a collar around their necks; held in a restraint device (called a primate ‘chair’) with their heads immobilised by a post implanted in their skulls, the monkeys were imprisoned inside dark, silent chambers and forced to carry out mundane tasks over and over for hours at a time, day after day, month after month. It is a living nightmare for the animals and death is their only escape. Please write to the authority in Germany calling for an end to this research and the removal of the laboratorys licences: Regierungspräsidium Tübingen (Government of Tübingen) Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 20, 72072 Tübingen, Germany Email: [email protected] Expose the plight of these monkeys by watching and sharing the following film: https://youtube/watch?v=xrx5L7Mb5sc Please sign and share the petition calling on the Prime Minister of Mauritius to end the cruel trade and export of primates for research: https://change.org/p/navinchandra-ramgoolam-prime-minister-of-mauritius-please-stop-the-cruel-trade-and-export-of-monkeys-for-research#share A Living Nightmare: buav.org/undercover-investigations/A-Living-Nightmare Help Stop a Living Nightmare for Monkeys in EU Lab: rantingsfromavirtualsoapbox.wordpress/2014/09/14/help-stop-a-living-nightmare-for-monkeys-in-eu-lab/
