Today is International Primate Day and Animal Aid are highlighting a letter, signed by 8,008 people, which calls for a ban on the use of animals, including primates, in warfare experiments.
‘Animal Aid and thousands of members of the public are urging the Minister with responsibility for animal experiments to immediately ban warfare experiments. We know that at Dstl, last year, 58 procedures were conducted on marmosets alone – 38 of which were in the two highest categories of severity. It is morally wrong to subject animals to toxins, compounds and viruses that are known to cause severe suffering, and possibly death, in humans.’
