HERE’S WHAT THEY’RE DOING TO “MONKEY 090235”

For this experiment, Arizona State University received nearly $1.3 million from the National Science Foundation, an agency of the federal government. Here’s what they’re doing with your tax dollars to a monkey like “090235”:

They cut him open and implant electrodes in his brain. They drill holes into his skull to mount metal posts and what’s called a “halo.”

“The head holder consists of a halo that is securely attached to the [monkey] chair. Attachment of the animal to the halo is accomplished by means of three posts which protrude through the skin. These posts are mounted on pedestals which are attached to the animal’s skull with bone screws.” —From university documents obtained by Rise for Animals

It’s like a torture device that forces this poor monkey to look straight ahead at the humans who hurt him.

Researchers withhold water from the monkey to get him to do what they want. It’s forced dehydration. It’s torture.

“Animals are water regulated and perform tasks for fluid reward. At the end of each successful trial, the apparatus delivers a drop of fluid to the animal.” —From university documents obtained by Rise for Animals

Monkeys used in this experiment are tortured for up to six hours a day, seven days a week, for years.

You can help stop this brutality now. Please take a moment to demand that ASU end these torturous experiments.
