Anti-science politicians and activists are spreading misinformation about science in Oregon. These misinformation campaigns have put the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC) at risk of closure. We’re asking you to use your voice.

Good article and good to hear prominent NHP voices like Peter Strick speaking up about this unforced error.
President Elenahal is delusional if he believes his statement that the scientific community is going to continue collaborations with ONPRC.
Oregon and OHSU are now a scientific backwater.

Oregon lawmakers delivered a huge blow to this monkey torture lab 💥 If the ONPRC uses a dime of state $, it will have to make plans to shut down!
This follows years of campaigning from PETA & our supporters, but we must keep the pressure on! peta.vg/43cx

Please send a polite email to president@ohsu.edu and tell them to shut down the ONPRC primate laboratories, I sent a very short message, not worth taking a screenshot of this time. Share please.

A major milestone for science and for monkeys!
After years of advocacy, violations, legislative action, and public pressure, OHSU’s board voted to open the path toward ending primate experiments at ONPRC and transitioning toward sanctuary.

Public records & investigations reveal a long history of Animal Welfare Act violations at ONPRC—poor vet care, sanitation, staff training & neglect of primates’ well-being. It’s beyond time to shut this cruel facility down.

Text SIGN PVDTMM to 50409 — The idea of animal research makes me sad. It also makes me sad when mice that spread Hantavirus are killed.
Sometimes, things that keep us safe from preventable deadly diseases make us sad. Sometimes, necessary public health measures make us sad. That is OKAY!
Animal research saves lives.
Please stand with public health. Please save the ONPRC.
