This is regarding the alleged research monkey mistreatment reported by the Seattle KIRO news investigation I posted about in the Unmoderated area. I added another story by KOMO news about the University of Washington being under federal investigation for problems, too.
Since these news stories are difficult to read, I have the link here straight to the form letter that Pasados no-kill sanctuary has prepared. They are a great organization and were the drivers in getting a felony animal cruelty law passed in WA state.
Here are Pasados suggested talking points:

Talking points for the USDA:
I live in _____ State and am outraged to learn about the cruel and inhumane treatment of research animals. The public is now aware of what is going on behind closed doors in research facilities. What action will you be taking to stop this cruelty of research animals and by when? Will you impose sanctions, and if so what kind?
