Harvard Finally Agrees to Close its Primate "Facility"

Harvard will close the sprawling unclean and horrendous primate facility, affecting at least 2,000 monkeys.  Now the fight will be to persuade this institution of higher learning to allow the survivors to go to sanctuaries rather than selling them to other research facilities. I wrote to Harvard's president and to the facility: 

“At last this school has agreed to stop the atavistic, inhuman and ignorant torturing of the animals who are the nearest relatives to human beings. I was relieved to hear it but noted the size and duration of the effort necessary to bring it about. 

Closing the lab is obviously the right thing to do but it comes late, after years of torture, abuse and killing. The next step is to arrange for these sentient beings to go to sanctuary rather than selling them to other laboratories. What will Harvard do?

In a more reasonable world all the staff and particularly the leaders and "professors" connected to this facility would go through an extended period of mourning, atonement, and re-education about their status and their thinking in regard to the world in which they live.

 Harvard University triumphantly regards itself as a leader and a light for the entire world -- how many other medieval and unnecessary enclaves does the university support? Time to look. Time to see. Time to wake up. Thank you.”
