We've ENDED the Minneapolis VA’s $7 million primate lab!

Cruel VA white coats drilled holes into primates’ heads and injected Angel Dust and ketamine into their brains.

Remembering Dorothy the monkey. Remembering the restraint chair, skull drilling, and Angel Dust experiments...

It’s the year’s first and ONLY major WIN for lab primates in the United States.

In the meantime, rest assured you’ll never pay for this government monkey business again:

  • Cruel VA white coats drilled holes into primates’ heads and injected Angel Dust and ketamine into their brains.
  • Then, they subjected the primates to “prolonged physical restraint” in a vise.
  • The victims suffered terrifying hallucinations for hours in a schizophrenic-like psychosis.
  • They “train” the primates to be good lab specimens. How? Water deprivation. The monkey becomes so thirsty she’ll do anything just for a sip.
  • Your tax bill? $7 million (payout #170601).

Documents obtained by WCW via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that this primate experiment was recently renewed in 2020 for another three years.

But thanks to your support for our investigations, media, advertising, and policy work, WCW got the job done early.

Don’t forget, Congress has already enacted WCW legislation to phase out ALL of the VA’s remaining experiments on all primates (and dogs and cats!) by 2025.

So, today’s win speeds up your ROI a bit.

Here’s why: the establishment’s primate lab campaigns are all flailing. There. I said it.

It’s true: no other group out there is actually shutting down monkey labs these days.

In fact, maximum-pain experiments on nonhuman primates (i.e., no pain relief and no anesthesia) are up a staggering amount in colleges, universities, “extramural” labs, and more. Greedy white coats have also successfully lobbied for more “pandemic research” money.
