Monkey Abusers of the Week Our first Monkey Abuser of the Week for the Water
Project is Stephen Lisberger of the University of California, San
Francisco. Lisberger’s work is described in details here on the
Experimental Description page. In brief his experimentation bolts
recording cylinders and a restraining bar to the top of a primate’s
head. Wire coils are also implanted near the eye. The primates are
deprived of water to “motivate” them to participate in experimentation
that involves visual stimuli. Water or Tang is used as a reward, when
the rhesus monkey performs the experiment while confined in a restraint
chair with the monkey’s head literally bolted in place. This experiment is barbaric in nature. One of the
cruelest parts of this experiment is the practice of depriving
intelligent primates of water for extended periods of time. UCSF
experimental procedures are known to deprive primates of water for as
much as 22 consecutive hours, five days per week. Please contact Steven Lisberger and demand that he
immediately end this practice of depriving primates of water. This
should never be done in any laboratory anywhere. Don’t take no for an
answer. Call him often. Email him regularly. His research is funded with
federal grants from the National Institutes of Health. This is your tax
money. You have a right to express your opinion to him. Steven Lisberger Lisberger’s experiments can be found at: More information about the University of California,
