TAKE NAMES: Animal rights group releases new video showing university experiments on infant monkeys
The video released by animal rights group PETA reveals, for the first time, filmed experiments at the University of Washington’s National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC).

With electrodes attached to their heads, the baby monkeys appear distressed as they clutch blankets, suck their fingers, screech, and jerk as experimenters shave their heads and test their reflexes and memory. The monkeys were killed after the experiments were concluded. THE GUARDIAN: Footage released by the animal-rights group […]

They’ve passed ‘Ag-Gag’ laws to criminalize whistleblowing and investigations that have exposed their cruelty, and labeled animal rights advocates as ‘terrorists’. We are told that Flock cameras can be used to apprehend animal abusers, yet the industries responsible for the suffering of billions of animals are granted immunity.
