Fw: Help Free More Than 1,000 Chimpanzees

Dear Cindy,

Now is the time to speak up for chimpanzees!

In addition to introducing bipartisan legislation to end invasive experiments on great apes, the U.S. government has convened a committee that is conducting a study to determine whether the U.S. should finally stop locking chimpanzees in laboratories and experimenting on them.

This committee is now soliciting comments from the public, so this is your chance to let the committee know that you oppose the use of chimpanzees in experiments. Chimpanzees in laboratories suffer immensely both physically and mentally, they are poor models for human diseases, and every other industrialized country in the world has already made the compassionate decision to prohibit the use of chimpanzees in experimentation.

Please take just a few minutes of your time to send a note speaking out in behalf of the more than 1,000 chimpanzees in U.S. laboratories and urging the committee to recommend a ban on the use of chimpanzees in experiments. Click here to take action.

Thank you for all that you do for animals.

Very truly yours,






Kathy Guillermo
Vice President
Laboratory Investigations Department

Fw: Constituent Response From Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison

Subject: Constituent Response From Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
Dear Friend:
     Thank you for contacting me regarding S. 810, the Great Ape Protection Act.  I welcome your thoughts and comments on this legislation.
 
     On April 13, 2011, Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) introduced this legislation, which would prohibit invasive research on great apes.  The bill would also prevent federal funding from going to such research.  S. 810 has been referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, of which I am not a member.
 
     While I am concerned about limiting the scope of scientific research, which could help find cures and remedies to devastating diseases and other ailments, I share your concern about the care and treatment of animals.  I believe we must ensure that animals are treated humanely and not forced to unnecessarily suffer.  You may be sure that I will continue to work to prevent cruelty to animals, and I will keep your views in mind should animal welfare legislation be considered by the full Senate.
 
     I appreciate hearing from you, and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me on any issue that is important to you.
 
Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator
