Tell Congress: End Invasive Research on Chimpanzees
The Great Ape Protection Act (H.R.5852) is an important bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on April 17, 2008. The bill proposes a ban on the use of chimpanzees in invasive biomedical research and testing. This long-sought, landmark bill has bi-partisan support and will prohibit the federal government from funding research on great apes, prevent the government from breeding chimpanzees for research, and require the transfer of approximately 600 chimpanzees in federal custody from laboratories to permanent sanctuaries.
