PETA Statement: Critical Violation at Yerkes National Primate Research Center

Please see the following statement from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s citation for a critical violation of animal welfare laws inside Yerkes National Primate Research Center:

Shoddy, careless, and dangerous—that’s the only way to describe Yerkes National Primate Research Center’s experimental and “care” practices. Yerkes was just cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the death of a monkey whose leg was caught between two metal sheets, apparently in an outdoor enclosure. It’s not clear whether the animal died of blood loss, of dehydration, or in some other painful way. Yerkes has a long history of animal welfare violations. Monkeys have died from starvation, strangulation, suffocation, heatstroke, asphyxiation from their own vomit, self-mutilation, being scalded to death after a cage was placed in an automated washer while the animal was still inside, trauma and shock, and sepsis. Recent inspection reports reveal that monkeys suffered from debilitating pain and, in one case, died after gauze had been left in an animal’s abdomen during experimental surgery. A 7-month-old female monkey died after having been left behind and forgotten inside an unattended cage. And a juvenile monkey had to be euthanized after a rubber band that had been tied to his wrist became embedded in his body after staff neglected to remove it. Staff had used rubber bands to tie him down while he was being tattooed with an identification number. Between 1997 and 2005, the USDA fined Yerkes $17,375 for a litany of serious animal welfare violations. In 2007, it was ordered to pay $15,000 by an administrative law judge for “willful violations” of the federal Animal Welfare Act. Emory University should shut down the miserable mess today.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to experiment on”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETA.org.

Tofurky Free-for-All to Hit Twin Cities

Because Minnesota is the country’s top turkey-producing state—and because Stearns County kills more of the gentle birds than any other county—PETA is placing sky-high messages across the Twin Cities asking that everyone “see the individual” behind each turkey dinner and go vegan. To help kick off a bird-friendly “ThanksVegan,” the group will also hand out free Tofurky feasts to shoppers on Tuesday.

When: Tuesday, November 16, 12 noon

Where: Outside Target Plaza South, 900 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis

“When people realize that turkeys love their families, feel pain and fear, and value their lives, they’re eager to put a Tofurky on the table,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA offers recipes, shopping tips, and more so that everyone can enjoy a delicious ThanksVegan meal that leaves gentle birds in peace.”

Turkeys can live up to 10 years, but those raised for food are usually slaughtered when they’re between 12 and 26 weeks old—and millions are killed each year for Thanksgiving alone. The young birds are hung by their feet from metal shackles and dragged through an electrified bath, and they’re often still conscious when their throats are slit and they’re dumped into scalding-hot defeathering tanks. Instead, shoppers can find delicious vegan roasts at Walmart, Trader Joe’s, Costco, Sprouts, and Whole Foods and restaurants from coast to coast are highlighting their #ThanksVegan menus.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information please visit PETA.org or follow the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
