Bill to End Chimpanzee Research Introduced!

[Guest guest]

Bill Introduced to End Invasive Research on Chimpanzees! Our promise to all the chimpanzees we know - that we will help all those who are still waiting in laboratories -will be fulfilled with passage of the Great Ape Protection Act. Dear Friends, I am writing to announce very good news: The Great Ape Protection Act was introduced today by U.S. Representatives Edolphus Towns (D-NY), David Reichert (R-WA), Jim Langevin (D-RI), and Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD.) With strong bi-partisan leadership, the bill seeks to end invasive biomedical research and testing on all great apes in U.S. laboratories and to release all federally owned

great apes into permanent sanctuary. Project R & R is working diligently with HSUS and other organizations and individuals to secure a precedent setting number of co-sponsors and a groundswell of public support for this bill, which offers the promise of protection from research to all chimpanzees now languishing in laboratories, many for more than 40 years. Sincere thanks to all of you for your ongoing support. And thank you for remembering as we continue to ask for your help as we work toward our legislative goals. PLEASE contact your federal legislators and urge them to join Rep. Towns, Reichert, Langevin, and Bartlett by signing onto the Great Ape Protection Act as

a co-sponsor. By taking action and asking your family and friends to do so as well, we will build the support essential to pass the Great Ape Protection Act! Sincerely,Theodora Capaldo, EdDPresident & Executive DirectorNEAVS/Project R & R The Great Ape Protection Act Prohibits: > Invasive research on great apes> Federal funding of such research both within and outside of the U.S.> Transport of great apes for such research> Federal breeding of great apes for such research Requires: > Permanent retirement of all federally-owned great apes Tom Photo: Fauna To help spread the word, order our campaign button NOW:call 617-523-6020 or email releasechimps.
