What does it look like when monkeys lose their minds?

Monkeys and other animals at the University of Pittsburgh need your help right now!
   
 
 

Aaaaaaa—

This is what it looks like when a monkey loses his or her mind:

 
This monkey is rocking back and forth in a cage, showing signs of going insane.
 

Rocking back and forth, repetitively pacing, and lashing out—these are just some of the signs of mental deterioration among the gentle, sensitive monkeys that PETA investigators found at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). They spend their lonely days imprisoned in tiny, barren metal cages until they're taken to be tormented in painful, frightening experiments.

We're doing all that we can to stop this abuse, but to strengthen our groundbreaking investigations and campaigns against animal testing, we need you to step up now, while you can make the most impact.

Investigators documented many more animals suffering in Pitt's laboratories:

  • Experimenter Rajesh Aneja induced painful and deadly sepsis in hundreds of mice, puncturing their intestines so that fecal matter would leak into their stomachs.
  • Another experimenter cut rabbits' leg ligaments and inserted thick wires into their knees, contorting their legs into unnatural positions for weeks at a time.
  • One terrified monkey escaped confinement, then hid atop cages—eluding experimenters for three hours.

With the help of kind people like you, we're working to end the cruelty in Pitt's laboratories. After protests by PETA and our supporters, the National Institutes of Health didn't renew funding for Aneja for the first time in a decade—meaning that he can no longer condemn mice to die slowly and painfully in sepsis experiments.

But many more animals are still confined at Pitt and countless other laboratories around the world, and we need more support to keep up the pressure.

 
This rabbit is one of thousands of animals mutilated for twisted tests by Pitt experimenters.
 

PETA has been at the forefront of the movement to abolish animal testing for decades, and we're making tremendous progress. If we meet our $500,000 goal by the October 31 deadline, we'll have $1 million to help all animals who are suffering today at the hands of experimenters.

If everyone pitches in—everyone who cares about animals, whose heart is broken by the thought of lonely monkeys being driven to lose their minds in a barren cage—we can help make testing on animals a thing of the past.

Thank you for your compassion and for helping us move toward a future in which no animal is abused or killed in a laboratory.
