Subject: Urge Congress to Stop Army From Poisoning Monkeys!
       |  | | Dear Cindy,
 Thank you for contacting Army officials and urging them to stop violating military policy and replace cruel and crude nerve agent attack training procedures on vervet monkeys with modern simulators and other effective non-animal methods. Now that the Army has heard your voice, animals need you to reach out to your members of Congress about this urgent issue.
PETA is continuing its all-out effort to stop this cruelty. In addition to protests and complaints that we've filed with the Army, Emmy Award winner Woody Harrelson has now joined the campaign and written a letter to the Army urging it to replace this crude exercise with superior simulators that are already in use at other U.S. military installations and around the world.
Since the launch of our campaign, as a result of the overwhelming outcry that military officials received from dedicated animal advocates like you, the Army has been doing damage control by spreading misinformation about its course to the public and the media. For example, they have stated that there are no simulators available to replace animal use, yet they use simulators in parts of their own course and the monkey laboratory is optional, meaning that the Army itself already believes that soldiers can be properly trained to treat victims of a chemical attack without poisoning animals. We have updated our Web feature to set the record straight about this and other issues.
Please contact your members of Congress today to urge them to stop the Army from using animals in cruel chemical attack exercises.
Thank you for all that you are doing to help animals!
Sincerely,
Justin Goodman, M.A.
Associate Director
Laboratory Investigations Department
