Dear President Philipps,

I am shocked and saddened to learn that York University uses nine rhesus macaques in cruel neuroscience experiments. As someone who cares deeply about animal welfare, I urge York to stop its research on primates, prioritize non-animal testing methods, and retire the nine rhesus macaques to a reputable sanctuary.

A recent investigation by Last Chance for Animals exposed York's inhumane treatment of the macaques. I believe the conditions they are forced to endure are inhumane and do not meet ethical standards the public expects of a leading academic institution.

The continued confinement of these nine macaques, many of whom have spent most of their entire lives in research, is inexcusable. York University has the authority and the responsibility to end this suffering.

Public perceptions of animal research are changing, and there is a growing concern about its use in scientific research labs. York University has an opportunity to demonstrate strong leadership by ending these practices and setting a higher standard for ethical, humane, and non-animal research.

Thank you for considering this important issue and I urge you to take immediate action.

Sincerely,
