Our Mission
The Primate Freedom Project is dedicated to ending the use of nonhuman
primates in biomedical and harmful behavioral experimentation.
The Primate Freedom Project has three components: Education, Advocacy,
and Support.
Education
The public must be taught that monkeys and apes have minds and emotions
very similar to our own. They must learn what is actually happening
in laboratories right now. Once they know these things they will
begin to understand that the experiments being performed on primates
are as horrible as they would be if they were being performed on
human children.
The Primate Freedom Project is educating the public through our
website and pamphlets. Individual supporters of the Primate Freedom
Project are educating people they come into contact with by wearing
a Primate Freedom Tag. Primate Freedom Tags
are stainless steel tags permanently embossed with personal information
about one individual monkey or ape locked in one of our nation's
primate laboratories.
The Primate Freedom Project is educating lawmakers through
The Congressional Educator, a newsletter written for members
of Congress.
Advocacy
It is one thing to know what is happening, but yet another to speak
out to demand that it stop. The Primate Freedom Project is the primary
sponsor of the “Call for an Immediate
Presidential Moratorium on Primate Experimentation.”
This document has been endorsed by over two hundred organizations.
We are consistent in our demand that the atrocity known as primate
experimentation be immediately stopped.
Individual supporters of the Primate Freedom Project attempt to
intervene on behalf of the primate represented on their Primate
Freedom Tag. They seek official documentation regarding the animal's
life and situation. They send this information to the project and
we publish the disarmingly sad stories of these victims' lives on
the Primate Freedom Project website.
Support
The Primate Freedom Project supports and nurtures efforts aimed
at ending primate experimentation. We do this by assisting campus
and community-based groups in various ways. We co-sponsor billboards
and advertisements in campus newspapers. We donate Primate Freedom
Tags to campus efforts. We provide research services and write articles
for campus publications. We foster community and campus-based Primate
Freedom Projects and work to link those efforts together.
We are currently accepting grant applications for grassroots organizations
aimed at protesting the use of primates in experimentation. READ
