Save UBC Monkeys From Death
Save UBC Monkeys From Death
The Issue
The University of British Columbia intends to kill four rhesus monkeys in order to study Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is a serious illness that is specific to humans. In the experiment, the monkeys will be injected with a toxin that will artificially produce Parkinson's-like symptoms, and subsequently killed for post-mortem analysis.
The group ”Stop UBC Animal Research” has offered to buy the monkeys and send them to a sanctuary.
