Leave the area through the gate again and turn right towards Porto Alto.

The zoo has already identified several species like the huge monkey-eating Philippine eagle that are at once distinct, endangered, and suffer from lack of attention.

According to the Members of Parliament (MPs), who adopted the report on its first review last week, all planned tests should be subject to mandatory ethical assessments to take into account the concerns of the public on the matter. I really hope this passes.
I am deeply troubled and angry that the National Institute of Health wants to move almost 200 chimpanzees from this facility to a laboratory in Texas where they may be subjected to testing. This is a matter of human compassion to prevent the further suffering of animals that have already served this species in prior experiments.

In Bergman's study, according to Discovery News, 18 to 28 squirrel monkeys would be subjected to radiation and periodically tested to gauge how exposure affects performance in a variety of learned tasks.

This, now, is a very practical matter, where all measures we take must be tested empirically on their consequences. And that means for the animal rights movement: Social entities like compassion, empathy and suffering are very important factors to motivate humans to change their behaviour. If I am understanding this correctly. ).
There has to be something I can do to reduce all of the suffering of the animals we use as food, I thought.

I call it VBM: Vegan Between Meals.
And failed tests aren’t efforts to be circumvented but embraced, as they ultimately enable curiosity, development, and growth by allowing a company to take risks, drive deeper thinking, and outmaneuver the competition. Why a Company Culture Built Around Tested Failure Succeeds. How to Develop a Culture of Tested Failure.
