Dear [NAME],

Experimentation upon primates has failed to produce tangible data for AIDS, Alzheimer's, stroke, cancer, and other diseases. Still, electrodes are lodged in the brains and spinal cords of monkeys. Seizures and infections are artificially induced. Toxic substances are injected. Babies are forcibly separated from "breeding" mothers.

That is why we kindly ask the government of Nepal to acknowledge global concern about its breeding and export of monkeys for use in biomedical experimentation. It is irresponsible to promote animal research when so many animal-free methods now offer data more relevant to humans. Findings from distressed animals do not result in accurate extrapolation to humans. Though primates possess physiological and psychological instincts as intricate as our own - lab variables such as pain, injury, confinement, loneliness and repeated handling generate misleading data.

We respectfully urge Nepalese authorities to advocate progressive, animal-free research. Please eliminate breeding compounds and stop the removal of rhesus monkeys from their natural environment.

Thank you, [NAME, COUNTRY]
