Our mission is to end the use of primates in biomedical experimentation.

We propose that the University of Minnesota adopt the following policies:

1. The University of Minnesota will not obtain or breed any nonhuman primate for any purpose.

2. No new animal protocol involving the use of any living or dead nonhuman primate will be approved, and no existing animal protocol involving the use of any living or dead nonhuman primate will be renewed.

3. All living nonhuman primates subject to University of Minnesota's control and discretion, but not included under a currently active protocol, will immediately be granted permanent "outgoing" status.

5. The University of Minnesota will actively search for a sanctuary for any primate with "outgoing" status as soon as "outgoing" status is granted. The animal will be humanely transported to the sanctuary as soon as the retirement agreement has been reached.
