Dear Friend,

For Princess, the frustration of spending day after day in a barren metal cage led her to pluck herself nearly bald in desperation. Her misery did nothing to deter her captors from repeatedly breeding her—leaving her to watch helplessly as her babies were taken from her side so that experimenters could torment and kill them.

Today, nearly 2,000 primates like Princess are held captive at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC), but without the hard work of a PETA undercover investigator, few outside the grim, windowless rooms of that facility would know of their plight.

For six long months, a PETA undercover investigator worked at the WNPRC witnessing the daily relentless confinement of sensitive monkeys. Conditions are so grim that some monkeys mutilate themselves or pace in endless circles to cope with their anguish. One known only as "r12050" was so frustrated that he mutilated his own leg down to the muscle, picking and scratching compulsively at the open wound.
