New Year, New Leadership: NARN Urges UW to End Primate Research

Contact: Amanda Elyse, Policy and Programs Lead, NARN, amanda.elyse@narn.org

This week marks the start of winter quarter at the University of Washington, so NARN welcomed the new term and the new year by sending UW President Robert J. Jones a letter to ask him to lead the UW into a future of shutting down the UW Primate Center, retiring the primates, and embracing innovative, non-animal, human-relevant research methods.

Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, National Anti-Vivisection Society, and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine also signed on to the letter.
