Stop the Transfer of Alamogordo Chimps to Texas Laboratory

The Issue

APNM and Project R&R have recently learned that the federal government plans to transfer more than 200 chimpanzees from their current home at Alamogordo Primate Facility to the Southwest National Primate Research Center in Texas, where they will undergo invasive research. Currently the Southwest research facility is being renovated using taxpayer dollars.

Please ask your Congressmembers - as well as New Mexico's federal congressmen - to halt this cruel and irresponsible transfer. For more information, please visit:
