Project R&R is continuing to raise awareness and secure the release of all chimpanzees remaining in U.S. labs into sanctuary.
Project R&R successfully led the charge to end the use of chimpanzees in U.S. biomedical research and testing in 2013. Our focus is now on providing former laboratory chimpanzees restitution in sanctuary. Project R&R achieved its goal for an end to harmful, invasive, and lethal research on all great apes in the U.S.—the largest holding of chimpanzees for use in research in the world.
About Project R&R's website: releasechimps.org
Releasechimps.org was developed over several years. It began prior to the beginning of Project R&R’s launch and development of the site continued throughout the campaign and its ultimate success to end the use of chimpanzees in US research. It is currently being maintained as a valuable resource to offer insight into the many aspects of the campaign and its step-by-step victories to its final goal.
We, the American Fund for Alternatives to Animal Research and Friends of Washoe, are now working together to refresh information the site provides and add new information as various aspects on behalf of chimpanzees in and from laboratories continues to unfold. We hope, too, that the strategies used to accomplished one of the biggest successes in the anti-vivisection movement will foster a template for all campaigns on behalf of all species still used in research and testing.
We cannot provide impeccable editing and therefore ask if you read anything that is incorrect or incomplete, please notify us so we can research it and set it right. Further, while all links should continue to be operational, if they are not, again please contact us and we will get you where you need to go.
As always, our work continues to be dedicated to all chimpanzees used and abused by science whether still alive or deceased, whether released in sanctuary or still waiting for their turn.
