Primate Experimentation in the United
States: Cruelty and Waste on a National Scale Primate experimentation in the United States is out of control. In the last ten years the number of primate experiments funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has increased by 136%. Statistics based on data published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reveal that primate experimentation in the U.S. has reached an all time high with over 120,000 of our closest relatives suffering and dying in laboratories during the last two years. Repetition is rampant among NIH-funded projects. There are currently 151 NIH projects that study neural information processing in macaque monkeys. These experiments continue for decades wasting millions of tax dollars, and victimizing primates for an entire lifetime. University of Arizona Primate Learning Experiments
