Woody Harrelson Backs NIH Decision To Keep Chimps At Sanctuary
Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, January 24th, 2011 in Actors, Animal Issues.
Woody Harrelson has backed a decision by the National Institutes of Health to delay moving almost 200 chimpanzees from an animal sanctuary to a medical lab until further investigation is made on whether the move would provide any valuable contributions to research.
“These aging chimpanzees… have endured decades of violence and torment, having been used in everything from space experiments to high-velocity seat belt tests,” Harrelson wrote in a letter after learning of the proposed move.
