Animal Experiments

 Brain-damaging primates for research

  Background – The facts behind our campaign to ban all experiments which cause brain-damage to primates.

At Naturewatch we believe that certain procedures are so ethically abhorrent that there can be no justification for them – such as those which involve the deliberate brain-damaging of primates. We are therefore campaigning for these procedures to be banned. In late 2003 the Stroud MP David Drew tabled an Early Day Motion (number 234) for us, which stated:

This house believes that any scientific procedure which causes brain damage to monkeys or any other primate is ethically abhorrent, and calls on the Government to ban such procedures forthwith.

223 MPs signed up to this motion in 2003-4. For the list of MPs who signed it, or to see whether your MP did so, click here [External link].
