Given that the so-called animal models (including non-human primates) have caused human suffering and death, delayed medical progress, and diverted research funds away from more reliable and modern scientific methodologies;
that confinement and manipulation of animals (including non-human primates) involves pain and suffering. And, that subjecting sentient beings to the horrors of vivisection is totally unethical, particularly when reliable and modern methods that do not require animal models exist.
Write to the individuals listed below and ask them to use the money planned for this center to fund ethical and human-based research for malaria, hepatitis, and AIDS vaccines. Write them and urge them to stop the development of another vivisection center.

'Say No to a New Primate Research Center in Canada'
PETITION TO: Ministère de l'Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport du Québec
La Fondation canadienne pour l’innovation
Développement économique Canada
Author: Canadians for the Advancement of Health Research
Say NO to the creation of a new primate research center in the Montreal region (Canada), designed to house from 150 to 200 non-human primates who will be used to test vaccines allegedly for malaria, hepatitis, AIDS, and study cardiovascular conditions. An investment of 22.5 million dollars, mostly tax-payers money from federal government will be required. It is regrettable that this money is not being used to foster more ethical and scientific human-based research and technologies not relying on the use of non-human primates.
