A generous donor has pledged $250,000 to @PETA and @BornFreeUSA to give these macaques a chance at sanctuary. Thank you, @JulieKayTV, for giving the monkeys a voice. The only acceptable future for these macaques is in sanctuary—not @NIH labs. Let’s make this their happy ending!

"If you can't keep a monkey in a facility, if you can't keep the the enclosures clean, if you can't train your staff well enough, you shouldn't be having monkeys," Lisa Jones-Engel, a primate expert with PETA, told @JulieKayTV  wcnc.com/article/tech/s…

Earlier this month, we all fell in love with Punch. The unfortunate truth, however, is that monkeys like Punch are whisked away, not to be loved, but to be poked and prodded in research labs. Along with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, I am urging @SecKennedy to stop the importation of monkeys for experimentation. Read our full op-ed here: thehill.com/opinion/energy…

Macaques can’t file flight plans and don't attend press conferences (yet)—but thanks to @AvSourceNews, their story gets out. His reporting makes sure @SmartLynxCom can’t hide what it’s flying: terrified, sometimes sick monkeys caught in a brutal global trade.

A coalition led by animal protection group PETA has urged U.S. authorities to investigate claims that SmartLynx Airlines mistreated 800 long-tailed macaque monkeys during a 43-hour flight. aviationsourcenews.com/animal-welfare… #PETA #animalwelfare #SmartLynx #AvGeek

@NIH @POTUS Thank you, @NIH and @POTUS for listening and acting to end funding for these violent and absurd experiments. Next up: the National Primate Research Centers, the monkey labs that are equally wasteful, scientifically bankrupt, and built on suffering, not science.

NIH has terminated funding at Harvard University for studies that included sewing the eyes of young monkeys shut. Under @POTUS’s leadership, we’re ending cruel, wasteful, and taxpayer-funded animal experiments—from baby monkeys at Harvard to cats and dogs in military labs.

OHSU has a long, shameful history of animal suffering, wasted tax dollars, and failed science. Their reckless disregard for biosecurity not only endangers public health but also condemns macaques to even more suffering. Shut it down.

UW admin sweating bullets at the top of campus right now.
NIH@NIH

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Evidence of wholesale wild monkey laundering in Cambodia is undeniable. Tens of thousands of long-tailed macaques caught up in the primate importation pipeline will arrive diseased or die between now and when CITES Standing Committee meets again. Who is paying CITES to delay?
pharmalot@pharmalot

“Today’s disgraceful postponement by the CITES Standing Committee is a step closer to extinction for long-tailed macaques,” said Lisa Jones-Engel of PETA.. statnews.com/pharmalot/2025… #pharma #biotech #monkeys #primates #research #Cambodia #CITES $CRL

The door needs to be shut on @AlphaGenesisInc immediately . Those monkeys endured excruciating deaths. "Some of the monkeys died quickly, but others were still breathing and lying unresponsive on their sides, according to the witness."
PETA@peta

Monkey deaths at @AlphaGenesisInc—21 BODIES of ENDANGERED long-tailed macaques were stacked like 'Tetris' blocks in its fridge! Whistleblowers alerted PETA, and now the feds are investigating. Read @postandcourier's story for the SHOCKING details! peta.vg/40j0

Two women in the #UK are due to be sentenced this week for their role in a sadistic global monkey torture ring that paid for & ordered baby #monkeys to be brutally tortured & killed in #Indonesia to create videos to post online for 'entertainment'.

Do the right thing @NIH & release the escaped @AlphaGenesisInc monkeys to a sanctuary 🚨 A concerned couple has offered $250,000 to PETA for sanctuary placement so the monkeys would NEVER be sent to a lab! Get the full story here ⤵️ peta.vg/3zan
