Demand that the NIH retire 23 chimpanzees to sanctuary before it’s too late!
Twenty-three chimpanzees continue to languish at a laboratory in New Mexico because the National Institutes of Health still refuses to move them to Chimp Haven sanctuary. We’re asking you to demand NIH retire these chimpanzees ... before it’s too late.
In December 2022, a court determined that the NIH violated the CHIMP Act by denying these chimps sanctuary retirement simply because they suffer from chronic health conditions common in chimps formerly used in research. And now, despite the court ruling, NIH is still refusing to move these poor animals to sanctuary. Years of delay have meant that 21 chimpanzees who could have enjoyed sanctuary life have died waiting for their chance to leave the New Mexico laboratory.
It is heartbreaking that NIH’s foot-dragging cost these individuals the chance to enjoy the end of their lives. Forcing these deserving chimpanzees to live out their remaining years in a laboratory after all they have endured is unacceptable, and we are asking that you join us in demanding the NIH move the remaining chimpanzees to Chimp Haven before it is too late.
TAKE ACTION
Please send a message to NIH, demanding that they follow the law and move the deserving chimps from Alamogordo Primate Facility to Chimp Haven sanctuary.
These chimpanzees have already suffered so much at the hands of humans. They must be given a chance for a better life outside of the laboratory.
