Question
Hi, my name is Ence.
I am doing a research project about animal testing on monkeys. For my interview part of my research paper I was wondering If you could help me. My questions are for the experts:
1)What do organizations plan to do to help stop Animal testing?
2) What are Monkeys used for in Animal testing?
3) history of Monkey testing?
4) Why did they choose monkeys for animal testing

Answer
Hi Ence -

Here is a website that can answer these questions accurately - I'm not an expert in animal testing - however, I do know it is completely unnecessary - http://www.vivisectioninfo.org/

You will find the answers to your questions there - with some reading :)
