Dear Friend,

For Princess—a monkey held captive at a government laboratory—the frustration of
spending day after day in a barren metal cage led her to pluck herself nearly
bald in desperation.

Her obvious misery did nothing to deter her captors from breeding her over and
over again—leaving her to watch helplessly as her beloved babies were torn away
from her by experimenters set on tormenting them psychologically or using them
in invasive tests.

Every single one of the monkeys held captive in stark conditions at the
Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (the site of a recent PETA undercover
investigation yielding never-before-seen footage), the Washington National
Primate Research Center, and other federally funded laboratory prisons is a
sensitive individual just like Princess. They need our help. And we need to meet our 30,000-member goal this month so that we can do
everything possible for them.

Please don't hesitate to make a difference for animals again in 2021: Renew your
PETA membership today by donating at least $8, 50% off the usual price.

If you renew your membership before January 30, we’ll send you a special “I
Support Animal Rights” PETA face mask, courtesy of Hanes, for free! (U.S. and Canada residents only.)

In their natural homes, macaques like Princess are protective mothers who live
in large family groups and hold and nurture their babies. But at the bleak,
windowless Wisconsin National Primate Research Center, a PETA investigator
documented that pregnant monkeys gave birth alone in wire-bottomed cages. Their
infants were taken away within a year of birth.

Some baby monkeys, like Turnip and Cora, never have a chance even to meet their mothers. After Turnip and Cora’s mother was reportedly killed in a
cesarean section experiment, the terrified pair were shuffled off to a basement
with only a stuffed animal for comfort. Then, workers pierced their ears with
metal clamps and rubbed ink over the wounds to tattoo them.

Mothers and their offspring aren’t the only victims of incompetence, contempt,
and cruelty at primate laboratories. Other individuals may endure decades of loneliness, frustration, and near-constant confinement—even mutilating
themselves or pacing in endless circles to cope with their anguish.

By renewing your membership today, you’ll be helping to power PETA’s campaigns
to rescue animals from cages and other confinement in the months ahead.

can receive a free “I Support Animal Rights” PETA face mask when you renew.

These national primate “research” centers rake in hundreds of millions in
taxpayer dollars from the National Institutes of Health. But footage and
documents obtained through PETA investigations, lawsuits, and public records
requests have proved that these institutions often fail to keep captive animals
healthy, safe, and even alive . And that’s all in addition to being subjected to twisted procedures that
contribute nothing to our understanding of human medicine or mental health
disorders.

PETA is taking on these deplorable monkey laboratories through hard-hitting
exposés, powerful advertising campaigns, demonstrations and banner drops, and
myth-busting media statements and op-eds from our scientists and primate
experts. It’s not too late for animals like Princess—or her children—to enjoy
some semblance of autonomy and a natural life free from confinement and
experimentation, but we need the support of as many members like you as possible
to keep powering this work.

Take advantage of our special 50% membership discount and free face mask offer
before it expires. Will you renew your PETA membership before the January 30 deadline?

Thank you for your compassion for primates and all other animals.

Kind regards,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President
