  World Week for Animals in Laboratories

In honor of World Week for Animals in Laboratories, please join us in helping the monkeys that have been retired from labs to our sanctuary at Jungle Friends.

 

PIP on a perch

At the end of May, Pip and Zeke will be arriving at Jungle Friends. They are from a laboratory where they were studied for their handedness in various kinds of manual tasks, their social behavior, problem-solving abilities (making inferences about which tool will work better in some task), and a little about their cooperation and self-control/impulsiveness. Their caretakers are careful not to harm the animals and are very excited to be able to retire them here at Jungle Friends where they will be able to live out the remainder of their lives in a natural environment with other monkeys.

Approximately 30% of the monkeys at Jungle Friends were used in laboratory research.  We are committed to helping captive primates, but in order to do so, we need more money and more sanctuaries.  Please make a donation to our Research Retirement Fund.
