The investigation of New Iberia Research Center is the most comprehensive ever at any major primate research facility and has resulted in a 108-page complaint to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), alleging a minimum of 338 possible violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act at the center. The law sets minimal standards for the treatment of animals in labs.
Shocking Footage
The HSUS' videotape evidence shows severe distress of primates in isolation: they engage in self-mutilation by tearing gaping wounds into their arms and legs, a behavior that could be the result of NIRC's failure to provide adequate environmental enhancement.
Routine procedures, such as the use of powerful and painful dart guns and frightening squeeze cages for sedation, are shown causing acute psychological distress to chimpanzees and monkeys.
Infant monkeys scream as they are forcibly removed from their mothers so that tubes can be forced down their throats.
Altogether, the investigation reveals animals forced to endure anxiety and misery behind the razor wire of the research facility.

now that it's become public knowledge, what are we going to do about it? e-mailing responses back and forth is'nt going to change it..
Instead I'd like to discuss a plan of attack to zoom in on these heartless bastard's.. we need to write to our senator's..congressmen and women etc.. I've done that already today..yet feel helpless as I'm just one person...!!
I think every animal lover needs to step it up and get off their cushy chair's and take a stand .... mean while as i write this? thousands of animal's are housed in cages..being treated inhumanely..some even tortured..its sickening what this country is..what we allow...Im all for punishment ,imprisonment for these scientists...
I'm willing to do what ever it takes to invade these lab's...confiscate the animal's...even wage war on these cock roache scientists if necessary..(only the ones who are caught on video commiting the abuse of course)... but first and foremost, we need to present it all to our senators and congressmen and women..
