An NIH experimenter by the name of Elisabeth Murray has received millions of dollars (over $36 million in the past 13 years) to torture & terrorize monkeys by damaging their brains for "research purposes" even though the experiments have no relevance to humans. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has acquired 43 hours of high-def videos presenting the proceeding psychology tests on dozens of primates, masterminded by Elisabeth Murray and her associates at a certain National Institutes of Health (NIH) laboratory which stands in Bethesda, Maryland.

Now you may be asking, how exactly does Murray torture them? Well, the investigation has shown as she traps them in small cages, saws the primates skulls open and mutilates their brain. She also terrifies them with spiders and snakes, which monkeys are terribly frightened by. Elisabeth Murray kills all the monkeys in her lab when she's done with them. Animals are living beings. They are individuals with feelings. They feel fear, they feel pain.

Words directly from PETA:

Damaging the brains of monkeys then terrifying them with snakes and spiders is the stuff of horror movies and has no place in a government laboratory. The abuse of hundreds of monkeys over 30 years, costing more than $36 million of taxpayer money, has failed to produce a cure or treatment for humans.

The lives lost should fill you with remorse. The wasted time and money should fill you with shame. And these experiments, quite frankly, should fill you with revulsion.

Money, time, and resources should be funneled into cutting-edge, human-relevant non-animal research. End these monkey fright experiments, and close down this laboratory now!
