TAKE ACTION
Please contact NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden Jr., and ask him to put a stop to these cruel and unnecessary experiments. Administrator Bolden needs to hear from you.
Please call (202) 358-0000 or e-mail public-inquiries@hq.nasa.gov and let him politely know that:
1.You support the mission of NASA.
2.Space radiation studies involving the use of live animals are cruel and pointless.
3.Genetic and physiological differences between humans and monkeys make this research ineffectual.
4.Monkeys are sentient beings who experience pain and suffering.
5.The experiments are in direct violation of the NASA Principles for the Ethical Care and Use of Animals.
6.There are viable non-animal research methods that can, are, and should be used.
