Over 200 government owned Chimps languish in the Alamogordo Primate Facility on New Mexico Hollman Air Force Base under a $42.8 million 10 year contract between Charles River and the National Institute of Health. Many of the chimps have been there since

This is the third Change.Org petition this morning that I can't sign as a Canadian! Very frustrating. I've tried several ways to get around this, but once registered it won't let me sign. Anyway, I pray enough signatures come through to get these beautiful primates to a place where they deserve to live outside of small cages and with one another, as they need to be. Thanks, Cher.

As previously mentioned, I keep getting these petitions that I can not sign because I live in Canada. It is extremely frustrating. I pass them to those in the US or put them on Face Book if that is an option but I really want to support by signing. Will the system ever change so we can support these causes?

Please send these chimpanzees to a sanctuary immediately. We're already the world's war criminals and it's time for the torture and brutality to stop permanently. It's time for all testing to be done on human volunteers or paid humans. It's time to stop acting like the ends ever justify the means.

To be in a cage for 50 years or longer !! :( I hope they get to the sanctuary , and that they haven't been too scarred , so that they can live out the rest of their lives in comfort ...

What crime have these animals committed to be so long in prison.
By the way as a South African I sign under another country and zip code. It works for me. All the animals in each country is my concern, that is why I cheat a little bit.
