On December 7th, Jane Goodall will be in Germany with us to defend the cause of the primates sacrificed for neuroscience!

One
Voice, Doctors Against Animal Experiments and Cruelty Free
International are organizing an event to call for an end to the use
of primates in neuroscience.

The
chosen location: Tübingen, Germany, where Léa and her six macaque
companions, born in French parks and sent to the Max Planck Institute
for invasive experiments on the brain, are notably locked up. Since
December 2014, One Voice has been campaigning for their release and
return. The mobilization follows a joint investigation by our
partners in ECEAE that revealed the horror of brain experiments and
trepanning. The investigation report from the German police following
the investigation is under examination by an expert for several
months now. His conclusions are anticipated…

Around
Jane Goodall, Sir David Attenborough and 19 other scientists,
primatologists and animal welfare experts, who have recently called
for the cessation of all cruel primate testing in laboratories. In
the European Union, 6,000 of them have been victims already each
year. One Voice, who has been a referent of the animal experiment
group in the Animal Policy collective, welcomes this call for the
abolition of experiments on apes. France is the European country that
experiments the most on them.

My
team and I have been studying chimpanzees (…) for over 50 years
(…). We have also studied baboons and other monkeys and there is no
doubt that they also experience suffering, fear, depression, anxiety,
frustration and many other emotions. Closing our close relatives in
laboratory cages and subjecting them to experiments, often stressful
and painful, is morally unacceptable to me. Restricting their
movements and depriving them of water is inhuman and extremely cruel.
We do not have the right to exploit them in this way for any reason
”.
Jane Goodall said.
