Wednesday night, ABC News: Nightline broke the story of more than 300 chimpanzees languishing at one of the world's largest primate research facilities.<br />
<br />
The report featured video footage gathered by The Humane Society of the United States during a nine-month undercover investigation at the New Iberia Research Center in Louisiana - and showed the routine and possibly unlawful treatment of hundreds of chimpanzees and monkeys.<br />
<br />
The Great Ape Protection Act was re-introduced in the House of Representatives yesterday, on the heels of the Humane Society's undercover investigation. This legislation would phase out invasive research on the more than 1,000 chimpanzees remaining in U.S. laboratories and lay the groundwork for permanent retirement of the approximately 500 chimpanzees owned by the federal government, including Karen and other chimps at the New Iberia Research Center.<br />
<br />
Each animal's suffering detailed in the report was wrenching, but the story of 26 elder chimps currently warehoused at the facility was particularly disturbing to me. Watch the undercover video, then sign the petition to stop research on chimps>>><br />
<br />

<br />
These 26 chimps were taken from their mothers in the wild, and have since lived a life behind bars. The oldest, Karen, was captured in 1958, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was still president.<br />
<br />
A nine-month-long undercover investigation by The HSUS has exposed the mistreatment of nearly 300 chimpanzees and other primates at the New Iberia Research Center (NIRC) in Louisiana. These chimps, living lives of deprivation and misery, are among the more than 1,000 chimps languishing in laboratories across the United States. Chimps, our closet genetic relative, are complex, social, and long-lived creatures. Many chimps currently warehoused in research facilities have lived for decades behind bars. Especially heartbreaking are stories of the 26 elder chimps at NIRC, who were taken from their mothers in the wild.<br />
<br />
This legislation aims to end invasive research on the chimpanzees remaining in laboratories, retire the approximately 500 federally-owned chimpanzees to permanent sanctuary (including the elder chimps at NIRC), and make the recent decision by the National Center for Research Resources (part of the National Institutes of Health) to stop funding the breeding of federally-owned chimpanzees permanent.<br />

Very sad to hear how the weak economy is resulting in more animals being taken to shelters by people who can't afford upkeep and care.<br />
<br />
I invented a cat product, bought the patent last year and almost ready to take it to "market." I plan to use partial profits, which I know will be a lot, to support neuter/spaying programs and no-kill animal shelters.<br />
<br />
I'll post more here when the product is ready so you can help me spread the word. Here's my inspiration below, my daughter's kitty…

Candice Become A Foster parent!tag:mypeace.tv,2008-08-15:1992146:Topic:20102008-08-15T15:22:10.196ZMiraCuloushttps://mypeace.tv/profile/MissMina
Many animals are trapped in shelters with no where else to go, and the only two options are adoption or euthanization! : /<br />

Fostering animals can be a wonderful and rewarding experience. As I type this now, one of my fosters sits next to me purring, as my own, is on the other side of the couch sleeping.<br />

<br />
Being a foster parent, you can choose what types of animals you would like to bring in. Some companies pay for everything (food, litter, or whatever else is needed), others, like the Humane Society, or your counties Animal services would need you to support them. You can buy a bag of dry food for as little as 7$ a month, if you are fostering cats, and need litter, just use some newspaper and shred some old papers.<br />
<br />
Fostering is a good option if you cannot or do not want to make a long term commitment. Fosters can stay with you from as little as 1 week-8 weeks. You can choose from puppies/dogs, cats/kittens, birds, rabbits, or if you have a large property, even some types of farm animals!<br />
<br />
If you have children at home, it can be a wonderful experience for them as well. It gives them a sense of responsibility and compassion in caring for another being. It helps to give them a connection to other creatures besides humans and helps them understand that other living beings also have needs for love, attention, and family environment.<br />
<br />

<br />
Maybe you have a pet at home that is lonely and could use come companionship while you are at work. Or maybe you, yourself could benefit from offering love and care to a voiceless, helpless, loving creature.<br />
<br />
If you think fostering or even volunteering would be right for you, please do an online search for a non profit organization or an animal shelter near you.<br />

Do you believe that your life can help ease suffering on a global level simply by just being? By being more compassionate, caring, and concious.....There is alot of suffering that contributes to the dis-ease of the world, that is caused by humans not being concious of their lifestyle, how they treat other living beings, and what they (most of the time unknowingly) support and consume.<br />

<br />
This discussion has to do with Easing Suffering~Creating More Peace~ & Being Concious, you can do this by realizing that everything you do (and do not do) effects the world at large. The insightful Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh profoundly said that, "Those who induldge in suffering will too suffer".<br />
<br />
If you really want to create more peace in the world, you will look at your life and use it, simply by being concious, and in doing so you will be creating more peace, directly in your life, and indirectly in the lives of others.<br />
<br />
<b>1) You can start out by not buying products that test on innocent animals</b> These products/companies dominate the market! On television, radio, internet, and grocery aisles, they are sponsered by main-stream shows and celebrities. Just think of how much you can help by simply not supporting these companies of cruelty. ( save it, print it out, pass it on, and take it with you when you shop! )<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>2) Become a vegetarian.</b> This goes back to Thich Nhat Hanh's quote. And the famous simple line "You are what you eat". Animals are extremely intelligent. They know what is going on before they are killed and they suffer down to the nerve. This comes to your plate, and there you have a meal of suffering you are about to unconciously induldge in. It is called "Mindless eating". You have a mind~ So use it! THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE EATING AND HOW IT GOT TO YOU!<br />
<br />
<b>"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." ~Albert Einstein</b><br />
<br />
start out slowly, at least eliminate land animals!!! they are mammals, and guess what Newsflash: SO ARE YOU!<br />
<br />
<b>3) REDUCE or ELIMINATE your intake of Alcohol</b> ~ Alot of suffering is caused in the world because of this terrible DRUG. Think of all the car accidents, bar brawls, troubled husbands/mothers/fathers/teenagers (who often are more likely to abuse/and or neglect their loved ones/themselves/others/animals when they are under the influence!), not to mention how destructive it is to your own body and mind. By not supporting the alcohol industry, you do not support these careless acts of suffering.<br />
<br />
Each one of these are concious and meaningful effort to create more peace and ease suffering in the world. If you can just start out with ONE, you will be making a difference!<br />
<br />
Thank You for your consideration ~ <b>Peace to ALL beings <3</b>
