Dear Taxpayer,
This week is Gregory’s 13th birthday.
And Gregory (formerly Govt ID #5334) is celebrating at a sanctuary after we SHUT DOWN his old home: the FDA’s largest primate laboratory.
Looking at that adorable smile, you would never believe the heartbreaking life he was forced to endure...
FOIA to Freedom: This is an actual video of Gregory pushing levers for hits inside FDA's nicotine chamber. WCW ENDED the $5.5M experiment and retired Gregory to a sanctuary.
Gregory was locked in a cold FDA test chamber (along with twenty-six other lab monkeys) and forcibly addicted to nicotine.
Poor Gregory even began chewing his own tail from the stress!
Our successful lawsuit EXPOSED Gregory’s secret video and SHUT DOWN the entire lab. And, for the first time in agency history, we retired and released him and ALL twenty-six of his friends!
Taxpayer, I'm proud to work for the most effective organization for getting primates like Gregory out of labs. No other animal advocacy group has shut down a federal monkey lab—or any primate tests in the USA—in nearly a decade.
This is an actual video of Gregory's captors at FDA. They locked him up and danced on your dime—until WCW CLOSED the lab.
I personally filed the Freedom of Information Act request that won his campaign—and YOU made it possible.
So, won’t you join us in signing your name on a special birthday card for Gregory?
Of course, this birthday card isn’t just for Gregory—but also for the kind souls who care for Gregory and his friends at the sanctuary.
As you can imagine, it is often thankless work, and a birthday card is a simple gesture to remind his caregivers how much their work really means.
If you have a moment, please join me in wishing Gregory the best 13th birthday ever.
Taxpayer, please sign and share his card.
Happy birthday, Gregory!

P.S. Gregory is a survivor from a particularly cruel FDA lab experiment, where he and his friends were forcibly addicted to nicotine.
Now safe and happy down in sunny Florida, will you join us in signing a very special birthday card for Gregory?
